    Would Golden Boy Promotions Be Completely Dead...

    ...if they didn't have Canelo?


    seems like a promotional outfit that only has one marketable fighter...unless i'm missing something? not sure who is still on their roster


    is it safe to say that PBC has replaced them and the two major companies are Top Rank and Haymon's outfit?

    it's pretty interesting how Top Rank outlasted Kingvision, GBP...will they outlast Haymon?



    feel free to discuss...or post pics of *******

    They probably would short term, but they'd work their way back up cos of the brand name.

    I'm sure they've got some good up and coming fighters on in their stable we don't know about

      seems like a lot of work to get back to where they were...man...Schaeffer and Haymon crippled that company

          GBP has plenty of decent fighters (according to their website), but Canelo is the only current "Star". I'm sure there are plenty of promoters with rosters in far worse condition.

                Having Canelo and getting him signed to HBO helped rebuild the GBP/HBO relationship post-Haymon/Schaefer, but I think with that connection they're now in pretty solid shape.

                If you look at their roster, aside from just Canelo, Matthysse, Linares, Lemieux, you'll see they some solid talent, a lot of it young: Randy Caballero, Francisco Vargas, Ivan Morales, Frankie Gomez, Antonio Orozco, Joseph Diaz, Diego De La Hoya, Julian Ramirez, et al.

                There's some talent there to work with.

                I'd say that within 1-2 years of GBP getting their younger talent more exposure through HBO, FS1, and maybe some more TruTV fights they will be in a much stronger position than they currently are.

                If they can continue to add younger talent, especially in and around strong boxing markets like So. Cal and Texas they would be doing very well.

                    solid post...green K



                    good to know they have some kind of foundation to work with...and yes, recruiting will be crucial...going up against Haymon and TR will be a task
