Golden Boy Promotions is Done, Ryan Garcia got exposed will never be a champion, Zurdo Ramirez lost and then missed weight, Seniesa Estrada left, Virgil Ortiz may never fight again due to illness
Jaimie Munguia doesnt have the it factor to be a crossover star he looks like Tong Po in the face and doesn't speak English and has no personality.
Seneisa Estrada saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship once her contract was done and went to Top Rank, she is making more money and getting way more exposure under Top Rank and ESPN than she did with Golden boy and DAZN.
If I were undefeated prospect Floyd Shofield Jr Id finish off the contract or request a buyout and jump ship from Golden boy.
Didn't Ortiz say he had Rhabdo? Crossfit's constant HIIT training has been known to cause Rhabdo in crossfit athletes and the open secret is that Ortiz trains 7 days a week with no rest days, I think it's plausible that Ortiz's training regime is so poorly optimized that he's gotten Rhabdo not once but twice.
Yeah he has Rhabdo, its from over training and not enough recovery with rest, fluids and nutrition, so Im guessing he trains a lot and cuts a lot of weight, So he is pretty much dehydrated and training too hard iwth those cross fit style circuit routines.
From what Ive heard he is in bad shape now, his power is not the same either cause of the muscle wasting rhabdo
Its sad really cause he is all Golden Boy has right now, and everyone was clamoring for a super fight between him and Boots Ennis. but he may never bounce back from this.
Hopkins has no respect in the black community? why?
Hopkins hasn’t promoted nor put Philly on the map. So many fighters out of that damn city. He hasn’t put any on. Not one. Forget about the shit he talks about guys like Spence and Tank.
Bro Vergil Ortiz is in bad shape he wont be able to box again, his condition is bad he has muscle wasting, his power is gone. I have no clue how that happened I only heard of this issue from people who do crossfit its from over training without recovery or hydration it taxes your body.
Someone said he had the muscle wasting again when he was starting training again, that is not a good sign.
That sucks, I really liked Vergil. All action and seemed like a really good dude outside the ring. I'm not familiar with this specific condition, is it permanent? Is there no way to take some time off, get healthy, then start training again with a better regimen?
It’s hard when you’re peaking to see a reason to sell. With that said, he needs CPR right now. Them Golden Boy shows are so poorly attended in California.
Bernard seems illiterate and doesn’t have respect in the black community or even by the grassroots gyms in Philly.
Mosley has CTE badly.
They need a revamp or rebranding.

They still got Schofield & zepeda. If Ortiz takes care of his health issues he's got a lot of potential. It does seem like GBP is slowly dying tho. Maybe Oscar should consider merging with one of the smaller promoters or selling his stable to TR.

Oscar de la coca could have sold Golden boy for like 250 million but didnt want to this was when it was at its peak he even boasted about rejecting the offer.

The one thing Oscar needs to fix is he needs to show up good or bad. Right now he's only showing up for the good, not the bad. Don't just say 'Ah, Gomez is good enough'. I mean, he knows what it feels like to lose and all the sudden lose your entourage, why's he perpetuating the stigma?
Damn slow down! You ain’t gotta step on them so hard so soon lol. It does seem like Golden Boy is losing steam. Boxing, as we all know, is a failing business because of the lack of unity. If Golden Boy would merge with PBC, I think it would benefit both. Boxing needs both fan bases and a real rival to the other large domestic company in Top Rank.

It's not looking good for GBP for sure. First, the whole Schaffer debacle where they realized they didn't have the fighters they thought they had signed, then Canelo eventually leaves them, and now with this stunt of leaving Garcia high and dry during the press conference after his first loss, I think they're about to lose the remaining big names, and potential big names, they have and lose a lot of power in the boxing industry.

Just Overrated fighters in general
Yeah it’s a crumbling empire, they’re done.
Bernard Hopkins was Golden Boy, Oscar was busy coked up while B hop would travel and attend local shows they put in Fantasy Springs, Oscar also rejected a deal that Richard Shaffer came to him to sell Golden boy to Haymon for a large sum of money, he fired Shaffer and accused him of going behind his back or something. Oscar would have been better off just selling Golden boy when it was at its peak and let Richard remain as CEO
His only hope is to sell his catalog of fights, I wonder how much he can get, I know Top Rank sold their catalog to ESPN but I dont know how many millions.
Yup, Schofield made a mistake signing with these ******s. I understand they didn't like the PBC's terms but he should have at least signed with TR.
GBP was the shiz in the early 10's but they've made too many enemies.
Agreed, Kid Austin is one of his last future champions in my opinion.

lol Leonard Ellerbe destroyed Oscar at the presser he basically said Oscar was doped up aka asleep at the wheel when they took all his fighters from under him aka Al Haymon, Golden boy was the TOP DOG in the 2010s no other promotion could touch them, this was when Richard Shaefer was at the helm and Golden boy was on HBO.
Oscar is one of the biggest screw ups in boxing, He has all the fighters fighting under Golden Boy promotions but without a contract as a golden boy fighter, they were basically Haymons fighters and he had them on loan with Oscar. Richard Shaffer was in on it too his plan was to oust Oscar from his own company.
Oscar pretty much had Wilder, The Charlos, Errol Spence, Danny Garcia, Maidana, Ortiz, etc you name it he had them
