Is it me, or do Gary Shaws fighter not make it big?

You know why most dont? Because he puts them in tough fights, he's the ultimate fan's promoter. If youre a fighter I wouldnt sign with him other than he will get you on tv. Id go with Arum because you will maximize your earnings because he's thinking about his investment and will put you in easy fights to build the hype.

yea cause dawson fighting tarver for the rematch was a fans dream right??

Thats one fighter, besides Tarver had a rematch clause, look at his other fighters they get in tough fights before he can make proper money off of them. Dawson fought Adamek and Im sure he wasnt favored to win, first Johnson fight he didnt have to take that fight either.

Didn't Shaw have Corrales??

Yes and he was always in tough fights.

I can only think of 2 fighters right now that he has that should be much more popular due to their talent.. I had more in my head the other day, just can't remember..

Do any of your feel this way?
Bradley and Dawson.. For the most part, only fight on SHO.. Dont you think they need some more exposure, esp on HBO?

Maybe its just me..

Shaw, at one point or another, promoted Pacquiao, Mosley, Wright, Lacy, Donaire, Corrales, Kirkland, Tarver, Forrest just to name a few.

He now has Darchinyan, Marquez, DeMarco, Dawson, Funeka, Bradley, Angulo and a few others.
