Golden Boy Promotions crumbling down ...

GBP's mishandling of the Golovkin/Canelo is the only thing you can bash them with. Other than that they've been matching up the fighters they have left with with competitive fights. Their new recruits Matthysse and Lemieux didn't even undergo marinating phase. It didn't benefit them. Both fighters suffered loses. You can't accuse them of engaging in over-protection.

If there's no promotional companies, there will be minimal boxing and we fans will be sad. I'm not wanting for the demise of GBP (like what Haymon and Schaefer wanted :D ). Just disturbed by the successive miseries GBP suffered this first month of the new year. But you left out them signing a ESPN deal, signing gamboa, and having a successful event last night that produced a fight of the year candate, them signing the Chavez PPV fight, announcing the lemiux/Stevens fight, ect. You are picking and choosing what to highlight and leaving the rest out. Tons of companies would love to have those things I just listed all take place in the first month of the year.

Worst Week EVER for sure lol

They'll be fine, let's worry about boxing not promotion companies. If there's no promotional companies, there will be minimal boxing and we fans will be sad. I'm not wanting for the demise of GBP (like what Haymon and Schaefer wanted :D ). Just disturbed by the successive miseries GBP suffered this first month of the new year.

Idk about wonders, but its obviously a good thing that they could do good things with. So if GBP was a stock now would be the time to buy cuz they are going to be moving up in value with that deal in place. And in my eyes that side programming will help maximize their fighters ability at becoming more known & fans becoming more invested in their future. I just hope the ESPN deal doesn't just become a Los Angeles only showcase..For years ESPN did most of there fights in the north east and now it's going to be more southwest but I hope the tradition of showcasing fights in Philly.NY,Boston doesn't die on basic cable..

They still have Canelo in good position and they now have an avenue to bring up newer guys which they needed. They have not been that successful in getting that next guy ready to pick up the ball from Canelo but as long as Canelo is on board and his position in the sport remains the same that is a minor issue. They do have some prospects that are close to really stepping up though like Diaz.

Oscar coming out of the closet? Probably the only way he says his company at the time

Crumbling? They have canelo, they just signed a deal with espn. They just put on a great card that produce 2 great fights one of which is the early fight of the year candidate. Vargas lost but didn't hurt his rep at all everyone will want to see him again once his cuts heal will be first in line for another big fight. Could go directly into rematches with salido or miura and everyone will watch. I don't get fans you complain when promoters don't put their guys in tough fights or put on compelling cards but then complain when they do. If you put on great competive fights then your guys will win some and lose some but fans always win. And you will always want to see the guy who lost again as long as the fights are good. If you don't want your guys to lose then it will always be one sided mismatches.

The ESPN deal is going to do wonders for GBP

What exactly does that kind of info do to fans? Isn't this what Schaefer and Haymon planned all along? Current GBP with only a handful of fighters what exactly do you expect? Sounds stooopid to expect anything substantial isn't it? All we know is PBC has spent $512 million and they still have nothing to show for it. No PPV stars, average rating of 300K-600K, not to mention its fighters are now fighting once a year. What a huge joke.

They'll be fine, let's worry about boxing not promotion companies.

They struggle with who they have on the world championship level, but as long as Canelo is relevant - they are going to be fine. I think they have a lot of very talented young mainly Mexican and Mexican-American, fighters that will make an impact within 2-3 years and now with ESPN - they have opportunity to build them up. They are not going to be the powerhouse like Top Rank and Haymon, but they will be fine and hey... their relationship with HBO is great, they get their guys on - but they have to be in tough and it makes for great nights of boxing.
