    When floyd fights without a GBP banner,, then you can say that,, He has done it since 07 and hasnt used any other promoters like shaw, duva, dibella, etc

      lol you're such an emotional fanboy that you let your emotions get the best of you when it comes to people criticizing Floyd. You get so emotional that you DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE that ADPO2 was being sarcastic when he said Martinez is a TopRank fighter.

        hey man, im a mayweather fan but GBP has had a hand in all of his fights since de la hoya and... http://www.goldenboypromotions.com/fighters/?d=-1&n=

        he may not be contractually obligated to GBP but i would say he's pretty much a golden boy fighter

          He hast the international pull & higher status.

          In some cases, I don't blame them.

              The last 5 GBP vs TR fights were:

              Hopkins-Pavlik
              Mosley-Margarito
              De La Hoya-Pacquiao
              Gamboa-Ponce De Leon
              Lara-Martirosyan

              Except for De La Hoya-Pacquiao (where TR had everything to gain) and Lara-Martirosyan (a final WBC eliminator for Canelo), the fights featured TR having the heavy betting favorite against GBP's underdog taking place on Top Rank cards because they refuse to co-promote.

              Top Rank preferred to have Donaire fight a phenom in Rigondeaux for around $1-1.5M instead of having him fight on a GBP card against Mares (where Nonito would've been the betting favorite) for $3M. It's been clear to me that Bob Arum wants nothing to do with GBP without there being heavy incentive.

                  lara vs martirosyan went to purse bid. im surprised that situation doesnt come up more often...kinda. it seems like thats the only way to get these guys in the ring now.

                  god forbid the sanctioning bodies enforce mandatories on A-list fighters.

                    What is TR's Superfeather champ punishing GB's Middlweight champ?

                      Never understood the beef between Floyd & Oscar when he's basically Floyd's promoter; would think they'd be tight considering the circumstances.
