Apparently, the number$ were so bad leading up to the RJJ v BHop farce that Golden Boy Productions felt the need to threaten the future credential status of independent boxing forums if they allowed round by round updates on their sites.
As far as I know that is unprecedented.
Am I wrong?
where does it talk about round-by-round updates??
The link you are referencing is not the subject of this thread. This was a direct threat to an individual site's operators. I am unsure of how many may have received this threat. I assume if one received it than more probably did.
i have never heard this before, do you have a link
I am not posting a link because it was a direct threat to a competing forum. I am not here to promote other forums.
I will say that the forum had published multiple pieces critical of the RJJ v BHop event. The operators of the site were threatened with refusal of future fight credentials.
Golden Boy sound like Nazis, they can go **** off. That fight was shit, the reason the fight sold like shit is because it took 17 years to make when Roy was shot. Dirty ass fight with clinching and headbutts, I predicted that and so did other people before the fight even happened. Has a BHOP fight ever sold well on PPV? I don't think so! :dead1:
Stop charging for crap, and boxing should be free atleast free as in we watch on paid channels like hbo and showtime. PPV only exists because of greedy promoters like GBP who screw fighters over on their paychecks.
Man I don't know who you are but you're a smart guy. I agree with everything you have said. I said it in the past that Golden Boy is the devil. Fuck Golden Boy, they need to get the fuck out of boxing.
they are talking about streaming not round-by-round updates.
they did that for all the big fights, especially the very big fights like mayweather or pacquiao, etc., streams get shut down constantly and sometimes its a real pain
No, that is not what they were talking about in this case. They were threatening individuals running sites if they did round by round updates.
I am not speaking of streaming. That is normal.
I think it is a symptom of something deeper. I believe they are attempting to intimidate independent sites from being critical on any level. This is a threat to free thought on the web through limiting access to crucial content.

wouldn't doubt it after how desperate they came across when they published an official statment regarding the ppv event.
Please note that the pay-per-view telecast will be aggressively monitored on the internet and any piracy and/or infringements will be legally dealt with in a swift and immediate manner.
It is normal for streaming to be forbidden. As far as I know it is unprecedented for sites to be threatened for allowing round by round updates.
GBP crossed the line and needs to hear about it.
