Golden Boy Confirms That Barrera Wants Free Agent Status
Mexican legend and future Hall-of-Famer Marco Antonio Barrera wants to form his own boxing promotional outfit and handle a stable of fighters that would be under him.
[details]
I think everyone is jumping ship because GBP is going to fail.
of course GBP is gonna fail. oscars pimpin everyone involved. plus on top of that there most recognizable/marketable fighters are all like steps away from retiring. their new rising stars aint gonna be able to fund and keep GBP going strong.
Golden Boy have only been interested in flogging the same old guys over and over with pretty ordinary undercards on their PPV's. GBP could have been great, but it wasn't meant to be.
Oscar used to get boxers to sign with Golden Boy by dangling a big money fight with himself in front of them ala Hopkins, Mosley, Hatton. When he retires, whats he going to do?
Yeah because Barrera who is 0 - 2 in his last 2 fights wants out now GBP is going to fail.
Golden Boy just signed.
Juan Diaz
David Haye
Plus they have the biggest box office fighters in Boxing
Hatton
Pacquiao
Delahoya
I think alot of this has to do with Barrera thinking GBP wanted Marquez to win instead of him, dude is a bit paranoid and wants to make his own promotion now. Barrera is pretty irrelevant in the sport anyways, with that horrible fight he put up against Pac I really could care less if he ever fights again. MAB turned down a fight with Alex Arthur for a decent purse, whats he holding out for?? A third fight with Pacquiao??
