Golden Boy Productions threatens boxing forums?

[SmartyBeardo]

Apparently, the number$ were so bad leading up to the RJJ v BHop farce that Golden Boy Productions felt the need to threaten the future credential status of independent boxing forums if they allowed round by round updates on their sites.

As far as I know that is unprecedented.

Am I wrong?

[T.Horton]

Would you happen to have a source for this information?

[oc9979]

production or you meant promotions?

[Grimmer]

Here's the source. Schaefer threatens legal action against boxing forums who allow illegal streams to be distributed privately or publically.

[SmartyBeardo]

Actually I meant Gross Backdoor Prostitutions.

[SmartyBeardo]

I'm not here to promote other sites. It happened on one of the sites I visit.

[SmartyBeardo]

That is exactly right. But the threat was made anyway, on the day of the event.

[Akyra]

wouldn't doubt it after how desperate they came across when they published an official statment regarding the ppv event.

“Fans who think they can wait to see this on free television better think again,” said Hopkins. “This is a one-time only and once in a lifetime opportunity to see me give Roy Jones the beating I have been waiting all these years to give him. Anyone out there who thinks I am kidding better not snooze on this one because if you snooze, you lose.”

“I beat Bernard once and he’s been waiting a long time for revenge, so he has a lot of hate pent up and it’s been building up for a long time,” said Jones. “You only have one chance to watch me beat him again and that chance is live Saturday night. No tape, no replay, just live.”
