Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez Inks Deal With Golden Boy Promotions

[boxingfan76]

where did you find this information out? or are you just talking out of your ass again. top rank has a lot of the top fighters in the world so i doubt arum screws them too bad.

freddie roach ******. he has said he wanted manroid to go with gbp istead of arum , hes on video saying that arums contract deal is a screw compared to golden boy thats why amir khan went to gbp on freddies advice.arum lets his fighter keep a tiny percentage of ppv10%, gbp lets them keep all the percentage.or some thing like 90%as much money as manroid is making hed be getting more with gbp.

So its pretty safe to say 2010 will see Alvarez's first loss?

Knowing Uncle Oskie he'll be fighting Williams this year. LMAO.

Also thought he was going with Top Rank. GBP flexing lately.

But if he keeps developing and winning, he will be on HBO a lot. He's a white Mexican. Double score for the network. (No racism... just saying, he's like a demographic dream, lol. There's a lot of Mexican boxing fans and America loved Richie Cunningham.)

¡War Canelo!

also golden boy is more sensitive to fighters needs because thegolden boy is a fighter himself,unlike arum his aproach to his fighters is more like a farm or something, just look at how he threw cotto under the bus.ruthless,and greedy as hell, guy is 86 the does he need money for now???it wouldnt hurt him to be more generous to his fighters.

that is one thing golden boy needs to learn from arum, keep feeding the fighters old shot dudes to keep taking peoples money and protect the fighter with easy fights, you notice how mosley ,williams ,or mayweather never get to fight pacroid??? arum doesnt want to risk his golden goose and if he does it has to be to another fighter of his like margarito vs cotto. now we have clottey vs pac another safe but in house fight.

Thank God in heaven. I'm so tired of up and coming contenders I'm excited about signing with Top Rank then fighting 2 fights a year all on small independent PPVs against fringe contender after fringe contender. (See: Nonito Donaire, Peterson bro's and Yuriorkis Gamboa until tomorrow night)

I wish there was some sort of healthy medium.... Top Rank just feeds thier fighters mediocre opponents and GBP throws them to the wolves

money!!!money!

GBP sure knows how to make money he is going set up alvarez vs pac after alvarez fights someone known. He got the number one money maker in mexico. He will make tons of money pac vs alvarez.

i dont think so oscar will take care of saul give him good fights to develop more and make him his number fighter. knowing saul is half irish will bring in other fans, oscar knows saul is highly marketable and will care for him like a ton of gold.

I'm going to be honest. If it didn't seem as though fighters themselves seem to get so devastated by losses I wouldn't care if they lost at all. It doesn't matter to me at all if talented fighters lose just so long as they get better. I hate seeing talented fighters go 30 fights before they fight anybody. I'd rather see them at something like 27-3 with some really good wins on their resume. But they seem to end up mentally crushed at that point.

gbp offers their fighters a much healthier profit than top gank, arum screws his fighters badly,they only get a small percentage of ppvs ,while gbp gives their guys a major %.

You sound like an idiot. You know not of what you speak yet you continue to let ******ity dribble from your lips. Why?

I don't get it. All fighters who negotiate worth a **** get PPV cut ins. See Joshua Clottey. It doesn't matter if it is Top Rank or Golden Boy. Bob Arum has made more fighter rich than GBP has ever dreamed of. You gargle what Floyd and Oscar have fed you over the years as gospel without even attempting to educate yourself.

Sad man, very sad.


ps...the major difference is in the match making if you really wanted to know
