Beat Top Rank by only $2,500? Golden Boy must have has a mole in Top Rank.

Purse bid results are often times really close to one another. This is something else though.

where in LA? Staples? might have to check this one out

That aside.... that's a lot of money for a guy who's fought TBA and a guy who's only had 2 pro fights

Sometimes I think it's because a network would offer the same amount of money to both promoters for a fight. But what are the odds both HBO and Showtime offered almost the same amount?
