GBP sucks at matchmaking.
no one GBP has built from the ground up has ever become a star. all GBP does is steal talent from other promoters.
I understand, But in their defence GBP are still babies in the promotional business compare to DKP or TR...
ohh man I'm not slamming them and I agree with you 100%. I think they will do fine, and they have golden opportunities with Gomez, alvarez and Ortiz. As of right now though, they haven't but they have time and all the opportunity in the world as Arum won't be around in the next 10 years along with King being out and a few others.

don king promotions shouldn't even be mentioned anymore. :lol1:
can't say i'm not happy with the fact.
shame that bitch made so much money before the collapse of his company.
Of course they are. My thing is GBP has yet to take a good prospect ect and make him into a big name. They will have their opportunity with Ortiz, Alvarez and Gomez, but as of now they have only had success by taking guys like Khan, Hatton, and others who already have huge buzzez and making money off of them. Pac had a huge buzz after Barrera fight, but I'm not sold on GBP building guys careers just yet and its one thing to do that and its another to just take a guy like Floyd and match him up with someone as popular as Hatton (the latter is easy, the prior one is alot harder).

No and yes if he wanted them. GBP promote the fights, they don't pick them as far as I know.
Mayweather's rise up the belts was of his own choosing.
yeah when you promote the fighters you don't pick the fights.
what does mayweather have to do with the question?
yes gbp had nothing to do with mayweather's belts. mayweather was with top rank for practically his whole career.
Am sure all promoters are doing the same :fing02:

No way he would have been 7 times world champ with GBP.
Thanks to their distaste for the guy and wanting to knock him out, manny made himself a bigger attraction. DLH hated him since the court case issue with Top Rank and Manny. He fought him to beat him and just dug his own grave.
GBP put forward all people that they thought had a shot and fell short.
Of course we are. GBP is subpar in making stars. They the new "Don King" in the sense they are good with taking establish stars and making money off of them.

GBP would be defending Manny right now against Floyd, instead of being against him. Manny never roided, Mosley did. Shafer still defended Mosley against judah when judah wanted a roids test (not OSTs) against Shane.
"Whatever tests they want them to take, Shane will submit to that. We are not going to do other tests than the Nevada commission requires," Schaefer said. "The fact is Shane is not a cheater and he does not need to be treated like one."
But thats how it goes, floyd is under GBP, so theyre on his side.
although, Shaffer did say Floyd sr is an idiot. Everyone is an agreement to that, except the newly found ped crusaders
I think Top rank were better for him to be honest!

hmm it depends, i think the answer is still yes
The fight with diaz wouldnt have happened i think, a tougher fight would have been made. The hatton and oscar fight would have still happened.
The cotto fight may not have happened but I think a mosley fight would have happened instead of that or clottey
