    GBP is struggling to find their place beyond Floyd, who practically owns them.

      It's messed up how they market fighters that are a liability and not actual talent that will prove to be fan favorites.
      I mean whats happening with Keith Thurman, dude is being ducked by everyone that get their name drawn out.

          Your point being? Fights should have been announced already and more specifically within the Welter weight division as it is the most interesting and most compelling. Everyone seems to be chasing a fight with Floyd and with this much talent at stake, you would want to know who can prove to be most competitive and determined.

            They were working on Thurman/Matthysse but they fell through. Matthysse has been hurt since the Garcia fight and recovering. Thurman not having a big fight lined up isn't the be all end all of GBP

            Mayweather and Maidana are having their big PPV fight in like a month and a half, both welterweight champions, Garcia just fought a top fighter in Herrera, and we had Alexander vs Porter not long ago. Chill out.

              It's easy to match up the name fighters in 2014.

                  They saw what happened to Broner. ..If they can keep the hype around multiple fighters without matching them together, it makes their stable look stronger then if they knock each other off. That's why we get Judah, Paulie, Collazzo now getting big fights.those guys lose, big deal, it keeps the hype going around their young studs.

                    It seems like after putting a strong 2013 with new bff Showtime that they think they earned tuneups during the first part of 2014.

                      Jacobs vs Quillin is all you need.

                      I would prob pay money to see that fight
