AND WHAT IS UP WITH JOEL CASAMAYOR?

He's fighting Jose Armanado Santa-Cruz on the Mosley/Cotto undercard.

Has he been hurt?? why is he taking year-long breaks between fights?

Better than King and Arum and the like. They have had a stranglehold on the sport for far too long.


I say a cross dressing, former elite,future HOF'er is far better!

Plus we get the added benefit of Hopkins occasionally making an ignorant statement. Whats not to like?

well, one thing you can't fault Arum for is that he made fights happen when he wanted to.

He gave you a margarito-Clottey and Cotto-Quintana card last year when HBO didn't want it. So he just moved it to SHO.

hes also been putting on great undercards, look at the Mosley-Cotto... wether or not it turns out to be great its not their fault..

I agree. Especially by putting the spotlight on the Phillipino vs Mexican rivalry. I dont care who makes what. Its not my concern. Im only interested in good matchups, and so far, GBP has been coming through.

what rivalry ?? there is no phillipino-Mexican rivalry.. look in my sig.

Good point.

But the undercard on 'The World Awaits' was disappointing. Alot of people said that Mayweather ran too much or that Oscar didn't pressure enough. That's fine. But a HUGE , heavily promoted fight night like that one shouldn't hinge on just ONE fight.

We had a fight party. Everybody gotto my boy's house by 9pm. Some important undercards would have been nice.

I think they could have paid for hot undercards out of that $130 million.

Agreed?

the problem is that even though they have a lot of elite fighters, they know with only one or 2 of them they can make a succesful PPV and the undercards usually suck...and basically all of their important fights are on HBO, so theyre also dependant on HBO's budget........now that they're friends wth Top Rank, its starting to change....

The issue - as I stated it - is that the guys at the top made the big bucks in the big fights. Below that top (partnership) level, those guys' career have not flourished.

They can't all headline PPVs.

How many bad matchups and protected titles have there been as a result of GBP? How many big matches have failed to come to fruition b/c of promotional rivalries? And compare these numbers to DKP and Top Rank. I think GBP comes out looking good.

They have a pretty good line up.So yeah, I think so!

Undercards should showcase upcoming talent to keep the ball rolling.
