Top Rank and GBP fighters fight again: Both bid in excess of 1 million

[Hougigo]

Well, GBP better hope GR JR wins or they wasted their money

[Hougigo]

They'll definitely take a loss. I don't know why they are putting a fight between a guy from DC and a guy from the Ukraine in LA unless Mares or somebody is fighting on that date too.

They might be trying to build up a Mares vs Russell Jr. fight later this year.

Probably, will be interesting to see who they match them with.

In terms of views though.... mann....it's happening while the World cup prelims are taking place.... so they got to compete with that too

[Kiddoe]

Great sign. Possibly the beginning of the end of the cold war.

This is like Arsene Wenger bidding £40,000,001 for Luiz Suarez! This meant someone in Top Rank is feeding GBP with info.

Great sign. Possibly the beginning of the end of the cold war.

How is this a great sign? It was a purse bid, Golden Boy & Top Rank won't be working together.

It would have been a good sign if they had reached an agreement. They haven't and probably didn't even try.

[Kagami Taiga]

This is actually a very good fight money not withstanding. Very rarely do we get two relatively untested blue chip prospects going at it. Think Salvador Sanchez vs. Azumah Nelson. Not saying it's worth nearly as much as they paid but still exciting.

[Ringlife]

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

That is a lot of money for this purse bid. Let's see if this fight actually goes down now.

[Ham Porter]

That's an awful lot of money to waste on two amateurs.

Yeah, Sanchez was a real "untested blue chip prospect" when he fought Nelson.

[Fetta]

[DannYankee]
