No Golden Boy at the Manny/Floyd presser...

What did GB do for Floyd?

When you figure out promoters are thieves you will begin understanding the sport. GB profited from Floyd. Any promotional company could have made Floyd money, the reverse is not true.

Oscar paid Floyd's tax and stopped him going to jail. In return he signed for him. That is what Oscar did.

Plus, put him on a pedestal where King would have eaten him alive... Arum would have set him up, and not have even tolerated Al Haymon... and gave him a fight that put him over the top...

Early in a fighter's career, he needs a good promoter more than promoters need him. Once a mega star, it's pretty much the other way around. Promoters fight for the right to promote the star. These lines cross somewhere in the path to super stardom. Floyd passed that point a long time ago. Furthermore, Floyd was made well before GBP came into the picture. Floyd's also a jerk, but he's not stupid. To imply that King and/or Arum would've truncated his career is beyond laughable.
