    Wait all this time I thought Floyd ducked Manny but now when the "cold war" is over we'll get all the TR vs GBP fights now?



    Pick a side people.

        Ask any recovering addict-every day is a struggle.

          what he's doing is he's thinking about the fans. it's rare these days to see any of these big time promoters think about us.

          whether this may work in his favor or not, it's at least very admirable that he's willing to put aside the promotional feud and give us fans the fights we want to see.

          it's just a shame that people like schaefer are willing to continue on the cold war.

            I find it funny how you boast about receiving an education but it took me 3 tries to try and understand wtf you were saying.

              Here on NSB talking about it before the floyd v canelo fight.

              It will be one year in September. I'm sure he will be better than he was. Will that be enough, who knows.

                  I don't know how many fighters are signed to multi-fight contracts with GBP. You'd probably need to know that for a start before you could tell how turbulent things would get when it comes to match-making.

                  The real issues would start when a fighter's GBP contract expires. I think that in all likelihood you'd see bidding wars between Haymon's new outfit and Golden Boy as they try to tie fighters down.

                  That underlines the importance of investment for any new company that emerges. Even more than has been the case recently, the promotional firms would have to splash some cash. Of course that brings HBO's and Showtime's strategies into the equation as well.
