Is GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS Really Good for Boxing

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

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....

I agree.

That's why i was giving TR (and to a lesser extent, DKP) credit for moving back and forth between HBO and SHO.

Miguel was a HBO fighter. After the Torres fight, they kinda soured on him and didn't support his malignaggi PPV. It was the same night as Hop/tarver. HBO distributed the GBP card in Atlantic City.

In his next fight, Arum moved him to SHO. I thought it was a bad move at the time, but I was wrong and it has paid off.

HBO has taken Miguel back and he is in a big PPV for a $5 mil payday.

Undercards should showcase upcoming talent to keep the ball rolling.

Or even mid-tier talent.

Guys who should be on undercards of huge fights: ouma, spinks, clottey, margarito, etc...

These guys are names, but they are not commercial. When a fight makes $100 million, you can afford to pay Margarito $750K and he's happy as ****.

Undercards are perfect for young breakthrough fighters to get noticed and get used to the big events.
The public get introduced and the fanbase has a chance to grow from the old to the new guard.
Pretty simple really eh?

IN GENERAL, I agree. But my post referred to a "huge" fight.

DLH/FMJ or FMJ/RH are so BIG that you have to change the rules. You can put a fighter who would normally headline on the pre-fight to DLH-FMJ and it is not a 'dis" at all.

$54.95!!

What's wrong with a margarito-Gomez (example) fight on the undercard of PBF-hatton?
