Campbell to sign with Oscar!
By Flattop
Former unified lightweight champion Nate Campbell is close to signing a promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions. Campbell spoke exclusively to f*ghtnews regarding this matter:
“It’s absolutely true Flattop. We’re close. VERY close. I have to do what’s best for my family and my legacy. People think I’m mad with Don, but I’m really not. It’s just in my best interests to move on. Nobody wants to work with Don anymore, and he can’t get me the kind of fights I need at this point in my career, and Golden Boy can. It’s that simple. Remember, I was already the #1 mandatory to Diaz when we signed with Don in the first place, so it isn’t like he moved me into that spot or anything. Terry made those moves, not Don. And since the Diaz fight, all Don has brought was the Guzman nightmare and the Funeka fight (both mandatories), who’s names would only be recognized by about 15 people in the US combined. It’s not my fault that nobody wants to work with Don, and I cant fight that battle for him. He’s got to deal with that on his own. I had to move on. And Golden Boy is really the perfect fit for me right now. They have the names I want to fight, like Marquez and Hatton, and they can get the TV dates, plus other promoters will work with them, and they really can get things done. My signing bonus will be more than I made the entire time I was with King, you feel me? Richard and Eric can get me the Marquez fight, meanwhile Don is talking about Devon Alexander, who ain’t never fought nobody. Come on brother. Be serious. It ain’t even a debate anymore. Look, this deal with Golden Boy will put me in the fights that can secure the future for my family, and establish my legacy. And honestly, that’s all I’ve ever wanted from this game. So hopefully Terry and Golden Boy can get this thing wrapped up quick, because I’m dying to get back in the gym.”
congrats to nate with the signing!!! i;m gonna be at that fight as well :) hopefully i'll be able to meet him there!
Well, the signing isnt officially done yet, but its close. I would expect it to be done in the next week or so. Nate's birthday is tomorrow, so there's no way we could even get out to LA until mid next week at the earliest.
Nate and I will be attending that fight.

Well let me be the first to congratulate you Soupy....this is the smartest move that you have ever done in your career....EVER.
GB will actually get you on TV you hypocrite, get you meaningful fight and finally get your bankrupt a$$ some goup.
HOWEVER, you will not be fighting JMM because you are not a superstar...you are not one of the elite...Let me weight this for a minute you hypocrite...
"Mr. Schafer, who are you going to put JMM in the ring with? Floyd Mayweather or Soupy?"
"Mr. Mayweather of course, he brings in dollars and is the p4p king and is well known by the casual fans which will translate into PPV dollars....but we have big plans for Soupy, we will feed him to Victor Ortiz and promote his career the way we've done to Jeff Lacy and Kasim Ouma. You know, get him TV time, get his hypocritical a$$ out of bankruptcy but at the same time establishing the true money makers for our company and the future by feeding Soupy to them....but to answer your question...no, Soupy will not be fighting JMM, my wife doesn't even have any idea who he is"
So now what you hypocrite, do u think that signing with GB will automatically make get u fights with the elites.....let me break down the facts of life for you Soupy:
1st group
Mayweather
Cotto
Hatton
Pacquiao
Marquez
Mosley
You notice something about that list Soupy, let me help you with this.....you ain't on it, you are not elite and therefore you are merely a opponent to be use at GB and HBO expression.
Soupy, humor me here for a minute you hypocritical hypocrite, how do you think a fight between you and Mayweather would go?
You are not faster than him, you defense isn't better than his, you stamina is $hit, You boxing IQ isn't equal to his...the reason why I asked you this question now is if you are going to be fighting the elite now, you have to start thinking about fighting these type of fighters.
Who am I kidding? you ain't fighting $hit but the Ortiz's of the world who will use your name to pad their resume until they are finally ready to step up to the elite fighters that HBO and GB wants them to fight
You are not in the Golden plan my hypocritical 36 year old.
lmfao...................haha
Well done Soupy, well done.

I was just about to say that. He would say don king is the only true promoter in boxing or some thing and that dlh and arum were bad for the sport.
He was talking some shit about Richard Schaefer too i think.
wasnt he talking shit about GBP few months back? fukin kiss ass

I have to cosign what he said about don, I remember in the 90s every mega fight was promoted by King, nowadays you never see him anymore, it's either golden boy or top rank
Actually, in all likelihood it means JMM vs. Campbell.
What about this Mayweather-Marquez stuff in Sept? Hopefully JMM/Campbell can get in the ring b4 that and winner gets Floyd
Nate will not be going back to 135. He wasn't lying when he said his body just wont go there anymore.
Yeah I believe him.
What I can't believe is the fight actually might happen now. I mean I thought it would happen at 135 when Campbell could still make it, but not after he failed to. I thought the fight was pretty much dead.
Would JMM go up to 140 for Campbell? I know it's about money and stuff, but it seems like both a risky fight with no title at stake. Unless Campbell tries to make 135 again.

If only Nate could make 135!!!
But now this means Victor Ortiz vs Nate Campbell....oh man. What a fight.
