    No, I seen all promoters in the same light. Until the day a promoter comes along that cares about the fighters and the fans first, they will always be self serving leeches in my eyes. There also seems to be a lot of posters here who support the promoter of their favourite fighter, which is dumb and embarrasing.

      probably if you compare them to the rest....have the biggest star, the deeper roster of top fighters and more tv dates.

        Same thing happening here with Matchroom. Everybody thinks its great what Eddie Haern is doing and how nice it is that FW has been taken out without actually realising that EH is just another version of FW. People have short memories and lack insight.

          The fact that GBP wants to setup a tournament at 140 that let's an entitled loser like Khan sit on his @ss and get a shot at a guy who wins 2 big fights shows why they suck.

          I like the way Showtime has been trending the last few years but recent events have to have a negative impact on GBP just based off the gap in subscribers between HBO and SHO

            I think bringing an awesome fight like Froch-Kessler II shows that Hearn is a little better than Warren and much more willing to risk his fighters against the best.

              heir Hearn's philosophy on promotion involves much more risk than Warren's, generally speaking.

              not even to get into the argument of who's 'better', but they aren't the same promoter.

                - Fights made (Does GBP put on the best match ups?)
                not really... a lot of their fights are showcase fights
                - Quality of cards (as a whole, does GBP put on solid cards)
                not really... they do the same thing as any other promoter, showcase fights for the undercard, with a big name on the main event
                - Money (Are they getting **** for their buck? Does GBP overpay its fighters and not get good results?)
                for sure the more famous boxers are getting overpaid
