    GBP announcing fights so late in the season

    Whats going on at GBP?

    Got thurman,ghost,alexander,lopez,mathysse,peterson,co llazo
    Broner,khan,berto,karass,brook looming,garcia down below.
    Season is passing by with TBA's

    Cant protect everyone. Paulie/porter and maidana/floyd have been made but now it seems GBP has cherry pickers and their protecting fighters.

        You know they can't make fights without the fighters agreeing?

            Well they need to be careful they have to make the right fight so that Floyd and Canelo can have a opponents.

            Matthysse vs Johan Perez or Mauricio Herrera
            Thurman vs Joan Guzman
            Figueroa vs Darley Perez
            Berto vs Zab Judah
            Alexander vs Robert Guerrero
            Peterson vs Cesar Rene Cuenca
            Danny Garcia vs Josesito Lopez
            Trout vs Gabriel Rosado

              This is that big flaw I have kept on repeating about Golden Boy's supposed stacked stable. The most interesting fights aren't necessarily going to be made just because they have the same promoter. A fighter's manager will continue to make matchups based on the same risk/reward equation they've always used.

                  The so-called stacked stable is in name only. In reality, fights with named fighters are extremely difficult to make. They all want to get paid huge amounts of money. Why else would Porter and Guerrero opt out of the Thurman fight?

                  Even HBO, with deeper pockets, can't make all these fights. High risk fights require millions of dollars to happen.

                    The bosses at CBS/SHO and shareholders are pissed at how much money they lost in 2013 and they didn't get the number of additional subscribers they thought they were gonna get

                    GBP is a sinking ship and if I was a fighter over there, I would buyout my contract and jump over to Top Rank/HBO where to quote Tim Bradley "They pay better."
