Top Rank is head & shoulders ABOVE Golden Boy

[p4p-champ]

Pacxing fans even argue for his promoter wtf....

All you can do is shake your head and laugh at it.

[-TRGB-]

Cheerleading one boxing promotions company over another is like cheerleading ********* over gonorrhea. Only a dumb-**** would do it, since neither exist for the good of our health.

In this case, though, it's just another symptom of the threadstarter's chronic and extreme ****riderism. Meaning, all this **** does is obsessively cheer anything related to Pacquiao and obsessively attack anything that even vaguely threatens him or the company he works for.

Sad and pathetic. Be a boxing fan, you mindless fruit.

Bob Arum is a fat, froggish, degenerate waste of flesh and bones and I will laugh for days, weeks and possibly months after he dies.




How do you like those apples?

Haha this right here.

rumor in boxing circles is that oscar is not a very bright individual.

For someone not so bright he has sure made a lot of intelligent moves career wise.

in terms of looking after and advising boxers.

wtf shud i care abt that? i just wanna c good fites i don't care f juan diaz s flat broke n heavily in debt @ 35.

[sdcluser]

There is no doubt that TR > GBP due to proven ability to develop new talents.

Oscar is smart in the sense that he knows his limitation but his ability to recruit and developing new talents is nothing to brag about. He still is not in the nitty gritty here which hurts GBP.

BTW, for those complaining about JuanMa vs Gamboa match. IMHO Arum wants a tourney in 1.5 yr once Donaire is in the mix. Think of the match $$$ there in a super tourney. Donaire might stay in TR despite what has transpired....$$ talks.

[Seleção No. 13]

I don't know how Bob does it. I can see the fault in Golden Boy stealing Donaire while he still has a valid contract with Top Rank, but Bob still manages to steal Manny from Golden who signed him first. I know it was Pac who picked Top Rank, but the type of influence Arum has is crazy. He's a proven veteran of the game.

[Fighting Pride]

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.

Yeah Oscar sure showed great aptitude with his people skills and no nasty intentions when he effectively killed GBP's working relationship with TR with that famous Ring blog.

Certainly healthy to alienate the company you can make the most money with.

Gimme a break. The guy's a dumb ass. If HBO weren't playing favorites and giving him a helping hand GBP would be in serious trouble.

[jaskieee]

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.

i agree, and believe that regardless golden boy is here to stay which is a credit to them. Every big boxer tries tp create a promotional company i am not even going to start naming them, but Golden Boy has hung around and kept the competition healthy.
