      Olympic Style Drug Testing was another thing they were psychotic about. Until Manny said 20,000 times he would take any tests and then the focus shifted from PEDS to Pac leaving Arum.

      They basically hate Arum because Floyd Mayweather hates Arum.

        The problem isn't in house fights in and of themselves. The problem is when promoters only put on in house fights and when they recycle fights. Arum is already talking about the Pacquiao Bradley winner fighting the Marquez Alvarado winner. If Marquez beats Alvarado, that's a guaranteed rematch.

          they are a repugnant fan base.

          they literally kill and shoot people for floyd.

          ive yet seen a pacquiao, cotto, or mexican fan do that. that's even above european soccer hooliganism.

            There's nothing wrong with it when you have a deep roster. And GBP has more depth in all the weight classes that matter.

              Pretty much this, top ranks inhouse fights are recycled fights which is the bigger problem. If I saw Maidana-Khan V coming up id cringe.

                aaaaand here comes the piss poor rationalization of the double standard armed with a pretentiously superficial avatar.

                disgusting.

                      The promotional wars annoy people on both side of the fence. However, GBP has a tendency of putting on more solid cards, so they receive less flack.

                      If something like Rios v Alvarado was put on the undercard of Pacquiao v Marquez IV, people would sing Top Rank praises all day.
