They come across tackier and sleazier than Don King. At least pretend some class like Arum does.
are golden boy promotions overrated

Floydiots love em', but they're just as crap and just as crooked as any other promotional outfit. Oscar/Schaeffer are absolutely no different to Don King, Bob Arum, Lou di Bella etc.
Giggly little fanboy's seem to support their fighters promoter's as hard as they do their fighter....Its a new phenomenon brought about by the internet, so yeah, in that regard yes, they are completely overrated.
They aren't overrated at all. Guerrero made a million dollars to fight Berto. Malinaggi and broner both just made over a million dollars to fight each other. Golden boy pays their fightersLast edited by bluebeam; 07-09-2013, 03:19 PM.Comment

All promoters pay their fighters and all promoters shortchange their fighters. Its the way the business always has been. You don't think other promoters pay their fighters? wow

Not everyone. p4p 3 division champ Mares has probably never made 500k. He just made 375 vs PDL, half of what 11 fight Rigo made in his last fight! Freaking Shiming is making 500k for his second fight, this Mares guys is treated like **** by his promoter
Maybe Haymon guys get better purse, but not even all of them. They're touting PQ as #1 middle, all undercards. Never headlined shoComment

GBP is a joke when it comes to guys like Mares.Comment

I would say they are both good at what they do. Arum has so much experience. Schaefer is good at getting fights made and Oscar has a good eye for talent before the fighter is well known. Golden Boy has more top fighters but Arum does a good job with the fighters he does have to work with. Cotto went back to Arum for now. I think Arum has an edge with HBO doing his fights but not doing Golden Boy fights. I think HBO is still #1 over Showtime.Comment
