I looked at Top Rank website for their fighters. Because since Arum will be pretty pissed off for Nonito's leaving, he might not want to feed him some of his own fighters.
Featherweight
Juan Manuel Lopez
Yuriorkis Gamboa
Mikey Garcia
Matt Remillard
Bernabe Concepcion
Jesse Magdaleno
Mario Santiago
Super Bantamweight
Wilfredo Vazquez jr
Guillermo Rigondeaux
Steve Molitor
Jorge Arce
These are quite a lot of names.
Moreno was negotiating with Top Rank and priced himself out and Agbeko could have been made with Top Rank too. The only fight that Golden Boy could make that Top Rank couldnt is Mares and who knows if he even beats Agbeko. Can you name me a couple of fighters that Golden Boy has had from the beginning that became stars?
it took top rank almost 3 years to make the montiel fight for donaire how long was it gonna be before his next big fight?
moreno next then the mares vs agbeko winner golden boy doesnt have a probelm co promoting:luvbed:

Ok but what will Golden Boy do? What is there track record that makes this a better move for the fans?

Top Rank will have no choice but to do business with him. Eventually Arum's fighters will have no choice but to get in the ring with Donaire if they want to be takin seriously, especially when guys like Manny, Floyd and Martinez retire. Otherwise they'll start leaving so they can get a shot at him. I can see WV2 doing that. He really wants to fight Donaire.
Plus we can still see him fight Mares or Agbeko and Moreno. That's a good enough resume to leave Bantamweight on. He'll just have to start pressuring Arum once he moves up, and I think he can.
bob arum hasnt even made the lopez vs gamboa fight yet are we sure he was gonna make a match between donaire and lopez or donaire and gamboa

Goldenboy roster:
Bantamweight
Abner Mares
Eric Morel
Junior Featherweight
Charles Huerta
Nestor Rocha
Featherweight
Antonio Escalante
Jhonny Gonzalez
Chris John
Israel Vazquez
Top ranks roster is way better and has more lucrative fights
Damn :lol1:
I'm sure Oscar is going to be thrilled about paying a bantamweight with no fan base $1 million every time out to fight Nestor Rocha or Antonio Escalante.
Berto to Donaire: 'Welcome to the club' :fest30:

I'm not asking why donaire is making the move I'm asking why posters are happy about the move.
bob arum hasnt even made the lopez vs gamboa fight yet are we sure he was gonna make a match between donaire and lopez or donaire and gamboa
money.
nonito wanted 7 figure guarantees.
i'm sure gbp gave it to him.
now i'm worried he'll be inactive because i'm assuming there's gonna be lawsuits.

WOW
thanks for that...might not be the best move for Donaire
Goldenboy has more fighters in their roster, but most are prospects or arent even worth mentioning.
Perfect move for Donaire apart from Vic & Montiel he's never fought quality he he he... :D
On a serious note though he's potentially stooged himself, he might miss out on some quality fights/serious money makers because of rubbing uncle Bob the wrong way...

They just hate Arum and are happy by anything that they perceive negatively affects him. But the truth is, only person getting f*cked over is Nonito because he'll be missing out on the fights that can make him a PPV mega star and huge pay days. If he's planning on staying at 118 until he retires, GBP makes some sense but then it really thins out after that. But if Golden Boy wants to pay him $1 mil+ per fight to take on nobodies ala Berto, more power to them.
can you give the names of GBP fighters in those weight classes? it would be interesting to see what's more lucrative
I would like to see that list too. I dont understand why some posters are so happy about this move.
