    Got the ring magazine, they are so biased to Golden Boy Promotions

    That Ivan Goldman and Jim Bagg who write for The Ring both criticized Floyd Mayweather, a GBP fighter. They think he just did the blood testing demand to get out of a fight with Pacquiao and that he is scared of them. What biased writing in favor of GBP.

    Oh wait....

    I always hated that argument as if Floyd knew Pac would back out. he asked Shane and the fight was signed.

      They were both pretty terribly written, but it's an opinion column and I don't necessarily always have to agree. David Mayo seems to have done a great job of recollecting the events and the two fighter's sides on way the fight fell apart. I haven't read all of it yet though.

        Same guy who beg Pac to fight Pac at 140?

        Pac- Cotto get signed
        Pac - CLottey get signed
        Margarito - Mosley get signed
        Margarito - Cotto get Signed
        Clottey - Cotto get Signed
        Williams - Margarito get signed

        Floyd vs Cotto - Not signed
        Floyd vs Margarito- not signed
        Floyd vs Clottey not signed
        Floyd vs Williams not signed

        Floyd vs Mosley - Floyd was force to fight.

        See the difference. You've been banned more than 20 times and you still don't get how idiotic you are.

          didn't Shane even agree before he was asked?

            They are hella biased for Golden Boy man!!!

            They have Pacquiao, a Top Rank fighter, ranked #1 at welterweight. Yet GB Shane Mosley and GB Floyd are #2 and #3 respectively.

            Biased bastards!!!

              Read the rest of that David Mayo article. It was great and pretty much an unbiased version of what happens. Explains the viewpoints of both sides and all the events that happened.

                Doesn't Golden Boy also have rights to Manny Pacquiao though?

                  10% worth, but I'm pretty sure if they were to pay off the writers to tell them what to write, they would not be praising Manny Pacquiao.

                    The Ring magazine is still the bible of boxing, nothing has changed. I don't see any bias.
