Golden Boy Purchases Ring Magazine and Others

[Chups]

Oh ****! This can't be true. RING will turn into A biased boxing magazine.

[Sinisterevo]

Its not like they gave unbiased views anyway.

They will probably start bashing De La Hoya anyway, since any favorable views will be construed as favoritism because of Goldenboy ownership.

[DiegoFuego]

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in this sport.

Oh well, the Ring was becoming corrupt anyway in the last couple years. At least no one will consider the Ring champ legit anymore.

THATS A BAD THING!!!!!!

But its not like they can change the writers or some ****, thye cant do that. All they are going to differently is use it to overpromote there shows and crap.

this is bad news though, i agree

I would wager to say that Golden Boy probably does have good intentions, but this is still a major, major conflict of interest. I think most people consider the Ring's champions and ratings to be the most accurate and fair, and that's what makes this maybe a bit inappropriate(?)...

Just let Oscar's masterplan unfold.

He's going to fix everything.

how can this turn out bad? You guys are exaggerating here, what has GBP done wrong that makes you guys think they'll be biased and messup to the ring mag?

He aint no Don King.

[damian5000]

That's business and he's going to run it like one. People don't think he'll have control over his own business? He OWNS it.

You can bet on some tainting / favoritism / coloring. To what extent would be impossible to measure.

This is not good for the Ring magazine. The editors will be influence on what to write and what not write.

The Bible of Magazine should always be independent and publish the good and bad of boxing world.
