    Why are Golden Boy giving these "Losers" PPV matches

    Golden Boy is having three back to back PPV's with fighters coming straight off of loses. First Roy Jones Jr who got knocked out in the first round against Danny Green gets a PPV his next fight. Marquez and Diaz who are both coming off of embarrassing one sided losses are fighting as the Main Even of their own PPV match. And it has been announced that Mosley who is coming off of one-sided defeat is now getting a PPV with Sergio Mora. What business since does it make to give boxers who are coming off of defeats (who arent even PPV draws to begin) their own PPV cards.

        Its not just GBP. All promoters do it. For example after getting beaten by Cotto, Clottey gets put on a huge PPV. Then after that, he was given the opportunity to get put on yet ANOTHER PPV if Foreman was able to get by Cotto.

          Maybe its tactic to quickly salvage a boxer career. But I still think they should put em on a couple of B.A.D matches then on to another PPV.

            Walk away from the biggest payday of your career after a long training camp over two pounds... he would have been an idiot to do that.

              I think the boxing faithful will watch and that amounts for around 300K orders hopefully. It should be an entertaining fight as well. Not to mention the solid undercard.
