    You look at it as revival, I look at it as cashing out. Lucas is the only one winning of the three fights. Hell, Lucas is the only A-side for Golden Boy on the three cards as well.

    Haymon and Schaefer ****ed Oscar pretty badly.

      I really didn't think he was going to let Lemi in with GGG. He could have easily milked Lemi as a local hero for years. DLH and Lemi deserve credit for making something interesting, and not being protected ******* like Jacobs and Quillin.

        Oscar has always shown the desire to make good fights so he'll likely always be a interesting player in the game, but from where GBP was at to where its at now Oscar gots a long way to go til he's in respectable power position again
        Here y'all go with these losses man. That mentality is why were not getting fights.

        Cotto been beaten 4 times and is still a draw. Oscar lost 6 times and was still a draw. Pacquiao and Tyson has losses and still drew.

        Canelo will still draw no matter the outcome and Lemieux will draw in Canada no matter the outcome.

          I don't see it that way, he's got fighters taking part in two of the biggest fights to end the year. Meanwhile haymon has a bloated budget with **** ratings.

              I have a strange feeling that Lemiuex may surprise us all and beat GGG. He's just got that type of power. If this does happen, it will be a banner year for GBP, regardless of Canelo getting sparked by Cotto.

                If ggg fights like an idiot and leans into David, like he has been doing lately, he'll have his head blown off by an uppercut. David is very deadly in close with his left hook to the body followed by the left uppercut. I don't think ggg will fight like that though and should win.

                  **** it ain't my fault boxing fans are fickle, but mainly I was trying to suggest if GBP is revived, what happens if all three of their biggest guys lose their next fight. If any promoter had there 3 top guys drop their next fight to a fighter under another promotion their business took a hit regardless how you or I look at things or how boxing should work ideally.

                    It's case specific. I don't think any of these three guys will be hurt from losing. If Lemieux didn't fall off the map for losing to Joachim Alcine he won't be penalized for losing to GGG.

                      GGG vs Lemieux would definitely not have happened if Haymon had sole control over the two fighters. Oscar and Hopkins just can't wait to see the GGG vs Lemieux clash. It had to happen now, not after feeding them with a long line of cab drivers. (Saw them at ringside in the N'Dam vs Lemieux fight obviously very impressed and mesmerized by the ferociousness of the fight.)
