    Top Rank is head & shoulders ABOVE Golden Boy

    & it aint even close.

    There's a reason why Golden Boy Promotions have never developed a young fighter into a superstar champion.

    There's a reason why.

    Top Rank developed Oscar & Floyd into superstar boxing champs. Top rank can successfully prop up their own ppv events. Golden Boy needs kerry davis & hbo's production team to be respectable.

    When they dont use hbo, well see marquez vs casamayor.

    GBP's main matchmaker is oscar's childhood buddy. He used to sell tacos from a truck. Top RAnk's match maker is going to the hall of fame.

    Arum has been in the game for 40+ years. He promoted Ali & ray leonard FFS.

    Not only does top rank have a stellar record for developing talent, they can also get a complete product (Pacquiao) & turn them into mainstream star granted that fighter does his part.


    GBP are amateurs compared to top rank.

    Top Rank>>>>>>>>>>>>>GBP.

    by a country mile.


    You want to be a golden "boy" or do you want to be TOP RANKED?

    How long have Golden Boy been developing fighters? Ten years.

    What had Top Rank done in ten years? How many superstars had they developed in 1983 when they had been going for ten years?

    What sets Golden Boy apart is that you have boxers adivsing boxers, aswell as a business model. Thats all.

    No doubt Top Rank is number one business wise, but in terms of looking after and advising boxers. I think GBP will prove that they do that much better in the long term.

    But overall you're right Top Rank are bigger than GBP.

      Top Rank to GBP is like a Mercedes to a broken skateboard. If you looked at both rosters side by side it wouldnt be close.

            Schaeffer is though~ and so are others around him. Oscar is a figurehead but the whole basis for when it got set up would be based on what he learned from Arum tweaked on what he didn't like about Arum.

            Not a lot of fighters have done what Oscar has, his company has transitioned away from him. So say what you will.

              Starting GBP was the smartest decision he made. I'm sure Bob respects him for it.

              Even SRL couldn't do something approaching that and he is as smart as they come. Oscar's aptitude is certainly in his people skills and his drive to get what he wants but not to be nasty with it.

              That way his business relationships stay pretty healthy.

                schaeffer is a money guy. not really a boxing guy. sure he's smart, but not boxing smart.

                arum not only is a ***, but a *** who is very smart as an individual but also as a boxing promoter.

                as for oscar learning, well how much can a person that is not very bright learn?

                  My idea is Oscar deals with fighters, trainers and publicity because he draws people in with his name.

                  Thats an asset for any company.

                  I'm sure Oscar's brighter than Bush Jr or Gore, and miles better with the media.

                    One run a business like a business and you will always be looking good.

                    Two I know all about Arum but he isn't perfect.

                    Three if they pay attention and want to learn quite a bit.
