I was thinking more of Khan-Hatton wouldn't it be easier to make now since both are with GBP?
That would be a main motivator for signing with GBP. If Team Khan are realistic and realise Khan is chinny and there is a question on how durable he is in tough gruelling fights as he has not had one yet. They will be looking to cash in on mega money fights before he is exposed.
Now he is world champion he can't keep on fighting the Oisin Fagan and Salita bums for ever. That bullshit might work in the UK but not the States. Hatton has to be the monster payday and with GBP it can happen. Hatton will not work with Warren.
Great choice by Khan. He made a great choice to be with this people.
Juan Diaz looks like a journeyman now.
When they signed Barrera in 2003, he GNTFO by Pacquiao on his 1st fight w/ GBP
Hatton signed with GBP in 2007 and in a span of 1 year at the age of 28, he became shot and now his career is over
Jorge Linares right after he signed with GBP, he was KTFO in 1 round
Victor Ortiz left Top Rank, after he signed with GBP, he KTFO. So much for the matchmaker from GBP.
Michael Katsidis undefeated prospect now has 3 losses.
Rocky Juarez signed with GBP undefeated, now has 5 losses
That's what i was gonna say, it's a bad move. Arum is the best.
if ricky fights khan, same thing what happened to him vs pacquiao, freddie roach will teach khan the exact same things which he did for pac vs hatton fight
It could be but I do know it would be huge in the U.K... So it would be a lot of money and that is all that Golden boy cares about...

warren has lost 2 of his best fight hatton and khan :D
warren has been bashing hatton lately , we'll expect remarks about khan being chinny from warren very soon
Horrible choice.

Why would you sign with a Promotional firm that is looked upon as amateurish compared to Top Rank?
Why would you sign with a promotional firm that has NEVER EVER developed a young talent into a great fighter into a superstar into a hall of famer?
Why?
This is Top Rank's specialty.
From oscar, floyd, erik morales, cotto, margarito, kelly pavlik, & now with manny pacquiao, top rank has a rich & SUCCESSFUL track record.
Top Rank's match maker is going to the HALL OF FAME.
GBP's match maker is a former taco vendor & oscar's childhood friend.
Top Rank can put up their own PPV shows. Golden Boy cant.
Why on earth would any young fighter sign with golden boy over top rank is beyond me.
Well put...............

Regardless of who the promoter is, they cant get in the ring and help their guy fight. And as a fan, Id rather see a guy lose every now and then in good matchups instead of just fighting slobs all the time (hint: Pavlik)
heihaci, i think amir-marcos will be amirs last fight in UK, so maybe last frank warren promotion..and the above about GB and their fighters is BS, fighters obvs have a say in which opponent to fight unless his mandotory, Top rank however, recently used Miguel Cotto as a sacrifical catchweighting lamb vs Pacman, sacrificing thier own fighterss to promote the other one
yeah that makes sense
Fight with Maidana in the UK under Warren
Then join with Golden Boy for a fight with Hatton etc
From what I am hearing Khan signed with GBP. And, Schafer contacted Lou Dibella for a potential fight with Malignaggi...
wont believe it till it is made official...besides he trains with freddie and pac and from what i hear they hate golden boy promotions :D :boxing:
If you ask me this is good news for Khan. He will start to make some nice money actually test himself against some decent opponents. He's been nurtured enough that he shouldn't be protected anymore.
He needs to keep learning on how to better protect that chin, but thats Freddy Roach's job and not his promoters.
boxing lately is not about the fighters. I just wonder why we focused more on the promoter than the boxer itself.
They can go to any promoter they wanted to have as long as they can give us the good/best fight.
