      Neither extreme is good in the long run. Sometimes the absolute 2 best fighters in a division are promoted by the same guy, so obviously they shouldn't be held off from fighting just because of 'principles'.

      But otherwise, yeah, it's always good to cross-promote fights.

        Shaw would do it too if he had a big enough stable of top fighters like arum and ocsar does.

        but he's right, there are too many greedy ****ers not willing to give another promoter a cut when they dont have to.

            Everyone's a standup guy until they get a taste of the other side. If Shaw was in GBP's shoes, he'd do the same thing. On this particular issue, however, he's right.

              Exactly. If Shaw had what Oscar and Arum have, he would be doing the same ****. Being how he doesn't, he wants 2 talk **** about TR and GBP. That's why idc about what he says. He has a point, we all know he does but im sure he would do the same ****ing thing if he had it like them. Goosen 2.

                Give Shaw Top Rank or GBP's stable and he'd be singing a different tune.

                  panda would agree with shaw if angulo didnt have the WBO interim spot not to mention the WBO ordering the two to fight

                  a second loss so quickly against Dzinziruk would hurt angulo's career but expand horizons for Dzinziruk

                    doesn't shaw promote both bradley and abregu? he had bradley fight a potentially risky fight just to get an in house fight rather than defend against a host of other great fighters at 40 repped by others. and all that fight did was line shaw's pockets and take away some of bradley's aura of invincibility.

                    also, he sabotaged darch donaire 2 because donaire left him, he did that for years before he came around, darch wanted the fight years ago but he had to get gary to do it and he wouldn't come around until darch lost some of his shine when he moved up and lost to agbeko

                    didn't he also dilute the money that would have gone to Corrales's wife after Diego died, on purpose, as revenge for his friction with Diego in life?
