Mosley, Hopkins Clottey, Berto: HBO Debacle Looms

[oc9979]

Since the past two years. Pacquiao, Pavlik and Cotto are the only name fighters on TR. GBP has Oscar himself, Hopkins, Mosley, Winky Wright, Marquez, and Mayweather.

Did you get the memo that Oscar retired??

[Al Haymon]

IMO GBP needs to get THEIR act together...

the only thing i would like to see from HBO is more dates for top rank, stop pimpin out all weekends to GBP

THANK YOU.

Someone that knows the real deal.

One thing I see in this article, is that DiBella doesn't want Berto in the same time zone as SSM...RING RUST??? The kid is in his youthful prime, and hasn't stopped boxing for over a decade. I hope they do strip him so he's forced to win the belt against a WW champion the next time around. I really like Berto, but I sure wish his management would show a bit more confidence in their champ.

didnt they reach a deal last month and go to hbo for december and hbo told them they didnt have the money?

They also have Donaire who pretty damn good, Calderon, Juanma Lopez, Gamboa, Edwin Valero who might become a big star if he can get cleared to fight in the states. Only Texas have cleared him. Look at the fighters you named that Golden Boy has. They all are over 30. While Top Rank have some that the next generation.

the next generation that is getting schooled by the old generation......

watch pavlik-hopkins and margarito-mosley for proof........


HBO should just drop Berto, unless he is fighting Mosley-Cotto-Mayweather-Williams or Collazo...............

[DC Fight Fan]

I agree. and not only to just Top Rank but to all the other promotional companies out there. It will help to get new blood in the mix.

+1 I couldn't agree with this more

[DC Fight Fan]

thats why JT ridin' with Showtime now!!!

Let's be fair. JT is on Showtime because of Froch and Pavlik and sleepers against Winky and Spinks. HBO doesn't want JT.

hbo's in the business of making money.pav vs williams is a more entertaining fight, a bigger fight, and will make more money...

I think you missed the point I was trying to make. I will ask you this question how much longer do you think the top fighters in Golden Boy will keep fighting on? Who is in better shape for the present and the future?

Oh and I can easily also say that Top Rank KTFO Golden Boy.....

Just watch Juanma Lopez-Ponce DeLeon and Pacquiao-Oscar/Hatton for proof.....

But, does not have anything to do with who has the most stable of fighters....
