    Believe me, if Oscar had all these Haymon fighters in his stable we would have seen more big, meaningful fights. All these so-called undefeated in Haymon stable would have had 2 to 3 loses; Broner would have been a nobody by now, etc. etc....

      Doubt it. HIGHLY DOUBT IT!!!

      IT would be the same and would get hated on because its GBP. Only reason you saying this is because it isnt GBP who has the fighters

        This was a ploy by Arum to get himself back in good in limelight. He used Oscar and Oscar isnt smart enough to see that.

          Things have changed since then.

          Cotto isn't with Top Rank anymore, and GBP has lost many if their fighters.

              It was about him splitting competition. I got to give the man props: one foot in the grave and he managed to cripple his biggest rival with a meal.

                What big fight have they made
                What big fights can they possibly make? The three biggest names Golden Boy has are Canelo, Matthysse, and Lemieux. Top rank has zero 154 pounders for Canelo ever since Cotto left. Maybe Korobov for Lemieux, but that's hardly a big fight. And Crawford barely moved up to 140. Crawford vs Matthysse is basically the only possible big fight they can make together, but that only became a possibility a little while ago. And Matthysse wants that WBC belt next.

                  They intended to create much more matchups, but Haymon took most of GBP roster

                      Oscar tried to make Santa Claus vs Rigo happen. Santa Claus backed out as per Haymon's instructions. Same Santa Claus who called out Rigo multiple times.
