Not giving them credit for having less date at all. Which you think is mediocrity which is fine your opinion. However, I have enjoyed their shows more than GBP. The only GBP shows I have really enjoyed where Jacobs-Pirog which wasn't the main event and JMM-Katsidis which only the main event was theirs. Dibella had the 2 undercards...

But as an overall show, I have enjoyed none of them. Top Rank on the other hand I have.

You said that Top Rank should not get credit for doing their job. But, yet they're the only promotional outfit that are doing their job. So WTF are you talking about?

You saying if Top Rank promises HBO better fights than they would get more dates. Well GBP didn't promise them **** only just Oscar would fight on HBO against Forbes so they could cut a deal with HBO to receive blind dates. And, their shows by the most part have been whack.

The only show that has any potential of being a good card. Is there next week card. But, when was the last time they had a card like this on HBO? It has been awhile....Top Rank pretty much had 2 of these this year...

Getting more TV dates is not the promoters job?

Arum could have done more to hold up his position at HBO he rested on his laurels and to HBO GBP surpassed them in what they offer. Look at the ratings the only one that is vastly different is Cotto from the last two years, if you exclude Mosley-Margarito which was both.

I would say it is easier to put on 2 strong dates out of 4 (which is not even a good ratio). If you are only putting on four shows on the biggest boxing outlet you should be blowing it out not doing mediocre events. That compared to 12 to 16 dates. I don't see big enough a quality gap to really be speaking of it when you consider the quantity GBP has to put out.

GBP has produced the likely fight of the year this year and did the same last year for HBO, more than I can say about the fight Top Rank put on HBO.
