as I posted several times dlh is 2 dumb 2 do it alone...Chagrin is from the '60's & can do, he or his reps, some good...where is Richard????/

People tend to forget Richard was just a face...the real people who made GBP are the people who get no media coverage. Just like with every company the face of a company is the one people credit but it's legitimately the workers behind the scene who actually do all the work. Nice to see oscar moving on and doing his thing...hope to see more cross promoting in the near future.

No oscar is just a face. Just like Floyd is basically a face for his promo company

By your definition that describes Oscar. Richard only became the 'face' when Oscar went into rehab and Ruchard had to be both face and CEO at the same time.

So Golden Boy had 2 faces? Richard and Oscar? Nah, Richard was the one who secured the investors (remember his banking back ground) and the sponsors, also he negotiated the TV dates, and spearheaded the deals with the venues, licensing etc.. This is why Golden boy had no dates setup after Richard left - Richard is not a match maker, and I highly doubt he did the administrative work compiling contracts, marketing, scouting, etc, But he is a accomplished investment banker, someone you would have run your fortune 500 company... Oscar , well drugs, prostitution, cross dressing, infidelity , etc.. yeah it is safe to say that anyone else - there would not have been a Golden Boy to come back to... personal feelings aside Richard Built that Brand into what it was, now lets see how Oscar turns it into what it is.... I hope he succeeds because it will be great for Boxing , but we shall see..
