What Golden Boy Wants Isn't What Boxing Needs

I think all boxing fans should hold there ground and not watch the fight between DLH and PBF.

Damn Mayweather stop sitting on that piece of **** throne of yours and fight Cotto already!

TSK..TSK JAKE Donovan

Add jake to the list of GBP haters. Let me ask you this jake..you being a so called boxing writer/expert wouldnt want to see a Marquez vs Casa match up? If not then you are not a true boxing fan, this would be a pure technical boxing match..is it ppv worthy, if they put sugar shane on the card which is being planned would you watch? I sure as hell would, and i know alot of others who would too..so lets not jump the gun on the fight being rescheduled. Jake do you think Pacquiao vs. Diaz is ppv worthy? you probably do since your a top rank junkie. truth is this match is not PPV worthy this fight couldnt even sell out the cheap seats at the mandalay bay. Arum himself said this match will not sell out, why dont you do a story on that!

One of the best articles I've certainly read on here, or on boxing full stop possibly. I was starting to lose faith that the media, sites, ppl etc. didn't have the guts to talk frankly about the true effects of Golden Boy Promotions, and I'm reassured BoxingScene has written such an article, GBP is little by little being exposed, and it could do with beefing up a little really. In most other sports there'd be a lot more safe guards against monopolising like this.

BoxingScene is one of the few sites out there that doesn't profit off of promoter advertising. When you do the kind of traffic that this site receives, you really don't need to.

Excellent article by Jake Donovan. I agree, Campbell-Casamayor II and Mayweather-Cotto would be the best possible fights that could come out of those combinations and it seems that GBP is whole-heartedly against those. You have to give them credit, they say what they must to maximize their bottom line.

Personally, I'd rather see another Ghostbusters sequel over Mayweather-De la Hoya II.

i have no problem with a casa-marquez fight on its own. what i have a problem with is casa and golden boy stringing along Nate Campbell for the past two months, and for a fight they had no intention of taking in the first place.
