This will be a huge boost to the sport over here. More promoters can only mean more competition and there is no promoter bigger than GBP. Apparently they've already got some signings lined up and I look forward to see how they do.

That cokehead oscar keeps grinding, dude is taking over boxing with every event. Ladies and Gentlemen we are looking at the new Bob Arum in the making.

This is big IMO. Schaefer's been talking positive things about the UK for a while, it's clear that he likes the market and that this isn't a flash in the pan. Would be a huge coup if they managed to sign the Olympic medal-winners, although Luke Campbell seems to prefer ice dancing to boxing these days :gay:

Pretty big news... I think it's funny how shaefer never gets any credit for golden boy's success, if it weren't for him golden boy would be just another Gary Shaw or loui dibella promotions.. He's never been given enough credit or respect

Good to see GBP expanding the way they are.

They've jumped from a west coast company to the hotbed in the north east, and now are a looking to jump across the pond to the UK... simply great to see.
