      same reason as why they have untelevised fights the same night.

      so that way they hold one event and get a lot of their prospects fights to pad the resume with.



      no ****. everyone wants to see quality fights.

      that's not how it works now though. you're complaining about something and it's been like that for years already.

      why don't you rant on how boxing is not on network tv anymore too while you're at it.
      Still doesn't mean they have to show anything but the main event on PPV. No reason to waste peoples time with meaningless garbage.

      You make people watch garbage enough times you lose them.


      The only reason that is how it works to you is because that is how Top Rank does it. It suits your point.


      You can't even argue my point that GBP puts on better shows, so you have fallen back to Top Rank does it and it has worked alright for them, sot that is just how it is.

        if you don't like it , then you should stop buying their ppvs.
        I don't buy their PPVs, I go watch them with friends for a twelve pack of beer if I feel compelled by any fights on the card.

        If the show is good I will buy it and have the party though.

          at least top ranks holds a lot of small ppv shows that barely make any money to get their fighters fights unlike gbp who used hbo for their bs fights because they don't do their own ppvs.
          I don't see how GBP puts on better shows...

          They really don't.

          Again TR tv series(don't know the name) has put on better shows that GBP solo boxeo series.

          Top Rank had developed fighters... Even now with Juanma Lopez, GBP has yet brought up a Juanma Lopez let alone Floyd, Pac, Oscar, and to a lesser extent a Cotto.

          They use blind dates from HBO to put on crap...Guerrero-Escobedo and Judah Matthysse come to mind.

          Top Rank does what a real promoter should do and come out of his pocket with his independent PPV to keep their fighters busy. GBP doesn't do that at all...

          Seriously if GBP can not get a tv date their fighters sit on the sidelines...How is that a good promoter? Seriously?

          Whatever....

            yeah the only reason i'm arguing with you is because it's so much fun.

              if you don't buy it then don't complain.

              since you're not spending your money you got nothing to whine about.

              you should be glad top rank suckers people.

              they get your friends to buy it for you.

                    I have always found people to hard on GBP and HBO for what they put on to be honest, because Top Rank does worse and they never get talked about.

                    I like watching The Ghost though (Guerrero not Pavlik~)

                    When was the last time the best fights on HBO live came from Top Rank and not GBP, I can't even remember the last time Top Rank even had a memorable fight on HBO it might have been Manny Pacquiao?

                    I watch solo boxeo I don't find it superior to what GBP does on HBO.

                    I would say you are holding them to different standards.

                      Top Rank gave us Pac/Clottey and Pac/Margarito. And some Julio Cesar Chavez Jr PPV fights.

                      Golden Boy has had some bad events this year, but Uncle Bob's PPV undercards are always deplorable.
                      don't remember the mosley/wifebeater undercards right off the bat, but marquez/katsidis was a co-promotion with dibella entertainment. HBO put that undercard together, not GBP
