I just found out about it while reading The Boxing Monthly that Golden Boy Promotions is or has bought RING MAGAZINE Alot of boxing fans and fighters put alot of stock into the Ring belts now that DLH has bought the Ring Magazine Branddo you think this will effect the way people see the belts???
DLH says there will be no interference by GBP in anyway!!!
I think DLH wants to control the rankings and help his own fighters from GBP move up the ranks quicker!!!
What do you think???
i don't hold the ring belt, or their ratings, in higher regard than any of the 4 major sanctioning bodies. usually the ring's champions are the true champions, but i can decide for myself who the best is.
i think of them the same exact way cause theres nothing Golden Boy can do to get his fighters these belts.
The belts can only be won or lost inside the ring, between the champ and his number 1 contender
Richad Schafear made an interesting point is that if they corrupt The Ring ratings and editorial people would realize it and stop buying the magazine/believing in them and it would be a bad investment.
Pretty sure they won't do anything.
