    Mayweather's rise up the belts was of his own choosing.
    yeah when you promote the fighters you don't pick the fights.



    what does mayweather have to do with the question?

    yes gbp had nothing to do with mayweather's belts. mayweather was with top rank for practically his whole career.

They will have their opportunity with Ortiz, Alvarez and Gomez, but as of now they have only had success by taking guys like Khan, Hatton, and others who already have huge buzzez and making money off of them. Pac had a huge buzz after Barrera fight, but I'm not sold on GBP building guys careers just yet and its one thing to do that and its another to just take a guy like Floyd and match him up with someone as popular as Hatton (the latter is easy, the prior one is alot harder).
      I understand, But in their defence GBP are still babies in the promotional business compare to DKP or TR...

          Thanks to their distaste for the guy and wanting to knock him out, manny made himself a bigger attraction. DLH hated him since the court case issue with Top Rank and Manny. He fought him to beat him and just dug his own grave.

          GBP put forward all people that they thought had a shot and fell short.
          whats up Terrel? i like your amateur record, how long have been boxing for?

              GBP sucks at matchmaking.

              no one GBP has built from the ground up has ever become a star. all GBP does is steal talent from other promoters.
