One quote that got me there was "golden boy, where the best fight the best"

Now all promoters say this now, including oscar all the time. But I do remember fondly a point in time when GB was huge and they made a lot of good fights. They had almost everyone, yet still worked with others. Fun times.

I read a critique on pbc the other day that pointed out they never really grew the stable they stole from oscar and I kind of concur.

Idk this is a mess...and oh ya...dont care about this fight
