    All roads lead to Top Rank... GBP losing their fighters.

    I believe Hopkins was unhappy with GBP.

    I believe Shane was because he left.

    JMM seems to be unhappy with a Morales fight since GBP will want him to extend his contract.

    Mayweather hasn't done business with them for a while.

    Without Oscar actually fighting, GBP will be in trouble. Possibly a come back from the GoldenBoy?

    Khan probably went for an easy Mcklowskey fight and his 3 fight deal ends. Then he wants Mayweather, or even might face Pac who is with Top Rank.

      Yes but Paulie is out of prime.

      Who do GBP have though?

      Linares I recall. Not sure who else?

          Golden Boy is banking their future on Khan and Canelo.. But Canelo looks so limited, while Khan has that chin that is keeping him from moving up to the next level.

            **** if the majority of fighters go to top rank,the ship is sailing away on the sport.

              IMO if they go to Top Rank, then boxing will be bigger since they will make in house fights.

              When I had Sentanta in the UK, Top rank did fights on it and it was pretty good IMO.

                good. if one promoter has most of the good fighters then we will get good fights. if they are all over the place like right now we never get good fights.

                  I agree, it will kind of be like UFC, but GBP do a better promotional job than TR, but probably spends millions more a year.

                    I totally agree with you,a year or two ago I really felt GBP was looking like the futurre..But then fighters started losing(Jackobs and Ortiz)going to jail(Kirkland)and just flat out being unhappy...Top Rank is clearly doing better right now GBP better hope Khan wants to stick around cause tbh he is their last cash cow..
