Top Rank is always willing to make fights with other fighters on different promotions
And of course Top Rank won the purse bid, GBP pays their fighters peanuts and doesn't care about them nor do they care about a founding member/partner Shane Mosley cuz when he left they gave him like $20k lmao
The truth is GBP is a joke of a promotion and broke
Nah it's different. The WBC ordered a mandatory title elimination match between Vanes and Lara. Top Rank won the purse bid and had complete ownership and control of the entire event. The purses were set with Top Rank's bid.
No negotiations between Haymon and Top Rank or Golden Boy and Top Rank took place.
good stuff pbp. the business aspect of boxing is confusing af
makes sense.
but one thing I dont understand is why they have to fight anyways? cant if they lose the purse bid say fuck it we aint fighting.
If they say **** it Lara may never get a title shot again.
Lara's team would have been stupid to turn down this fight. A victory would have guaranteed him a shot at Alvarez.
makes sense. but lara is managed by al haymon and al haymon and top rank have a problem with each other. correct? they got it done. good for boxing. end thread

They didn't get it done though, going to purse bid means they couldn't work it out so the issue got forced because it was for a mandatory.
Lara wanted the opportunity, his advisers could have been against it but in the end it is up to the fighter.

No it went to a purse bid because they couldn't work together.
A purse bid is winner take the fight and Top Rank won so GBP was not involved at all in the promotion.
