If Golden Boy would merge with PBC, I think it would benefit both. Boxing needs both fan bases and a real rival to the other large domestic company in Top Rank.
    Oscar de la coca could have sold Golden boy for like 250 million but didnt want to this was when it was at its peak he even boasted about rejecting the offer.

      The one thing Oscar needs to fix is he needs to show up good or bad. Right now he's only showing up for the good, not the bad. Don't just say 'Ah, Gomez is good enough'. I mean, he knows what it feels like to lose and all the sudden lose your entourage, why's he perpetuating the stigma?

        It’s hard when you’re peaking to see a reason to sell. With that said, he needs CPR right now. Them Golden Boy shows are so poorly attended in California.

        Bernard seems illiterate and doesn’t have respect in the black community or even by the grassroots gyms in Philly.

        Mosley has CTE badly.

        They need a revamp or rebranding.

            They still got Schofield & zepeda. If Ortiz takes care of his health issues he's got a lot of potential. It does seem like GBP is slowly dying tho. Maybe Oscar should consider merging with one of the smaller promoters or selling his stable to TR.

              Bro Vergil Ortiz is in bad shape he wont be able to box again, his condition is bad he has muscle wasting, his power is gone. I have no clue how that happened I only heard of this issue from people who do crossfit its from over training without recovery or hydration it taxes your body.

              Someone said he had the muscle wasting again when he was starting training again, that is not a good sign.

                Didn't Ortiz say he had Rhabdo? Crossfit's constant HIIT training has been known to cause Rhabdo in crossfit athletes and the open secret is that Ortiz trains 7 days a week with no rest days, I think it's plausible that Ortiz's training regime is so poorly optimized that he's gotten Rhabdo not once but twice.

                    That sucks, I really liked Vergil. All action and seemed like a really good dude outside the ring. I'm not familiar with this specific condition, is it permanent? Is there no way to take some time off, get healthy, then start training again with a better regimen?

                      Hopkins hasn’t promoted nor put Philly on the map. So many fighters out of that damn city. He hasn’t put any on. Not one. Forget about the **** he talks about guys like Spence and Tank.
