    gbp has been doing the same thing yet is praised for making the best fights possible, that are in-house by the way, yet when tr does it, its not ok?

      The one who seems to be truly In House is GBP and Showtime. I expect that to to change in the next year, maybe 2. They will have to expand their horizons again eventually. They will need fresh blood to fight.
      This right here

        Rinse. Repeat.

        And now they're adding poor Provodnikov to this old tiring mix.

        Americans are too obtuse .

          So I take it that the TS didn't watch the Prov/Alvarado fight? You missed an exciting fight.... maybe you just like non-recycled boring match-ups?

            I would just like more obscure fighters to get some exposure, with the promotional companies boxing is like a league your either in and you get tv exposure or your not and remain unknown, its alot like UFC now.

              lol this.

              Rios v Alvarado - FOTY contender
              Marquez v Pacquiao IV - FOTY
              Bradley v Provodnikov - FOTY
              Rios v Pacquiao II - FOTY contender
              Provodnikov v Alvarado - FOTY contender
              Bradley v Marquez - okay, a bit of a snoozer

              Next we'll get:

              Pacquiao v Rios - high action fight

              then probably:

              Rios v Provodnikov - potential FOTY contender


              What was OP complaining about again?

                I dont know, thats a pretty solid list of 6 fighters who can be matched to each other and pretty much every fight is interesting.

                Yes Arum sucks, we know. Top Rank still has some awesome fighters in its stable, and they make some pretty solid fights. Pac-Rios is an awesome matchup, Bradley-Marquez, awesome matchup, Alvarado-Provo was an awesome matchup as well.

                  Wow these guys pretty much have FOTY on lockdown. Some of these were looking good in advance, some not so much. Marquez Bradley got the most hype here, most were happy that got made over Pac 5, which would have been something else. Oh well, props to Marquez for not caring about the money, and to Bradley for beating his a$$

                    OP should just enjoy all the good fights that are being made, plus no one needs a high IQ to like fights. You like them or you don't. And the only thing people need to demand is a Floyd vs Pac fight.
