A better question would be: why doesn't Top Rank buy GBP?
Bob Arum is MUCH richer than Oscar or anyone else in boxing, even Don King.

After that merger, Oscar would control the vast majority of elite fighters from 118 to 175 and he could pay his fighters less because they wouldn't sign with smaller companies anyway. The biggest matches would get made right away : Mayweather/Pacquiao, Cotto/Canelo, Khan/Bradley, Rios/Maidana, etc. Everybody wins, except Bob Arum of course.

Arum promoted Oscar, how on earth is Oscar a better promoter or businessman? Arum is/was also a lawyer, I'm sorry I'll take Oscar in a fight but when it comes to brains and how to build fighters Arum>>>>everyone else, period. He made guys like Ali, Oscar, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and I can keep going. Floyd, Cotto and this is all off of the top of my head. Who has GBP ever built from scratch? They stole canelo, tried to take Manny and suck Floyds c0ck just to get them to fight under GBP.
