    Ohhhh Showtime cool with Murat, but not Kovalev?

    Name other promoters other than the fodder provided by Shaw that they've used.

    Lou and Jo Jo Dan wanted Thurman, nothing
    Stevens, Mora, Truax, Macklin all requested Quillin, none are evidently worthy to Quillin, who is evidently avoided.

    They do only bring in people when they're expected to lose.

    Johnny was expected to lose after he lost to PDL and Abner blasted him. Tell that to everone that picked against Johnny and his +1000 odds.

    Konencky.... are you freaking kidding me?
    Iron Mike is on friday night shobox.

      Now it's GBP/haymon not just GBP. Seriously u look ******. Who are these world class fighters that these other promoters have that GBP fighters arent fighting? The silliness in this thread is astounding

        It was GBP/Haymon from the beginning. How's this a surprise to you now? You don't follow much boxing? Never heard these "GBP rift" rumors? Never noticed Haymon's influence at Showtime? Amazing.

        Espinoza vetoed Kovalev last year in favor of huge underdog Murat. Quillin has no decent competition with GBP/Haymon. They're really only strong at 140-154, and even there there's plenty of strong comp outside. We saw the gulf in class between Garcia and "bum" Herrera, and buma$$ Paulie is a major factor in GBP welter ranks

          A: Well, that's not quite true. Iron Mike Promotions is on Showtime for example....

          Q: Yeah but what I mean is that GBP isn't putting their fighters in with other promoters.
          A: Well, what about Murat and Johnny Gonzalez and Lucas Konecny and...

          Q: What I really mean is that they only bring in other promoters when the opponent is expected to lose.




          If you guys keep moving the goal posts you'll win the argument eventually.


          HBO doesn't do that doe.

            Top Rank can still sell the fights to Showtime if they want.

              This will be ignored.



              They tried to get Donaire/Mares signed but instead Arum got his prized pig Nonito outboxed for just over a million

                That's not what the thread is about. U going on rants about something outside the realm of anything I'm saying. GBP works with other promoters. They have no issue doing it in fact. U dint like them, u dint like haymon. Cool. But that doesn't change the point. I think u guys try too hard. There's plenty to whine n complain about. Gbps work with other promoters isn't one of them. They've made big fights copromo and they've made small fights copromo. There really is no argument.

                  You asked who, I had some examples. Its not as easy to find examples of non GBP/Haymon fighters featured on Showtime lately, unless brought in cheap as huge underdogs or low budget shobox. That's understandable, theres only so much money and these guys rosters are big and expensive.
