    Jaimie Munguia doesnt have the it factor to be a crossover star he looks like Tong Po in the face and doesn't speak English and has no personality.

    Seneisa Estrada saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship once her contract was done and went to Top Rank, she is making more money and getting way more exposure under Top Rank and ESPN than she did with Golden boy and DAZN.

    If I were undefeated prospect Floyd Shofield Jr Id finish off the contract or request a buyout and jump ship from Golden boy.

    Yup, Schofield made a mistake signing with these ******s. I understand they didn't like the PBC's terms but he should have at least signed with TR.

    GBP was the shiz in the early 10's but they've made too many enemies.

      lol Leonard Ellerbe destroyed Oscar at the presser he basically said Oscar was doped up aka asleep at the wheel when they took all his fighters from under him aka Al Haymon, Golden boy was the TOP DOG in the 2010s no other promotion could touch them, this was when Richard Shaefer was at the helm and Golden boy was on HBO.

      Oscar is one of the biggest screw ups in boxing, He has all the fighters fighting under Golden Boy promotions but without a contract as a golden boy fighter, they were basically Haymons fighters and he had them on loan with Oscar. Richard Shaffer was in on it too his plan was to oust Oscar from his own company.

      Oscar pretty much had Wilder, The Charlos, Errol Spence, Danny Garcia, Maidana, Ortiz, etc you name it he had them

          Agreed, Kid Austin is one of his last future champions in my opinion.

            Bernard Hopkins was Golden Boy, Oscar was busy coked up while B hop would travel and attend local shows they put in Fantasy Springs, Oscar also rejected a deal that Richard Shaffer came to him to sell Golden boy to Haymon for a large sum of money, he fired Shaffer and accused him of going behind his back or something. Oscar would have been better off just selling Golden boy when it was at its peak and let Richard remain as CEO

            His only hope is to sell his catalog of fights, I wonder how much he can get, I know Top Rank sold their catalog to ESPN but I dont know how many millions.

                  It's not looking good for GBP for sure. First, the whole Schaffer debacle where they realized they didn't have the fighters they thought they had signed, then Canelo eventually leaves them, and now with this stunt of leaving Garcia high and dry during the press conference after his first loss, I think they're about to lose the remaining big names, and potential big names, they have and lose a lot of power in the boxing industry.

                    Damn slow down! You ain’t gotta step on them so hard so soon lol. It does seem like Golden Boy is losing steam. Boxing, as we all know, is a failing business because of the lack of unity. 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.
