Between superstars and Golden Boy Promotions business partners Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley and Marco Antonio Barrera, there are 61 years as professionals in the sweet science. They have accumulated 190 wins and millions of dollars. They are experienced, successful and rich.
As of Saturday night, their fraternity includes Winky Wright, who brings to Golden Boy his 50 wins over a 16-year career, along with his venture Winky Promotions.
Unlike Zab Judah, whose proposed Super Promotions was a thought without solidity prior to his signing with Prize Fight Promotions, Winky Promotions will maintain some semblance of autonomy.
“This is a big step for Winky Promotions,” Wright told the Associated Press over the weekend. “A lot of people thought it was going to be a joke, one of those fly-by-night promotions. We’re trying to do the right thing, and take over the boxing game, and do it the right way.”
Yet after announcing Winky Promotions last year prior to his December fight with Sam Soliman, joining an established promotional outfit may have been Wright’s only way to conduct business while preventing a repeat of some of his recent missteps. [details]
