      Oscar is what we all say we want in a fighter (never ducks anyone and comes to fight) and what we want in a promoter (makes the best fight for the fans) but people are so much closet ****s and they dont even know it that they hate on Oscar cause they in love with a rival promoter or a figther they like dont like oscar lol. that about not being a bitch and letting others think for you.

        I actually think he could do a lot better. But each to his own.

          GB doing a ok job at surviving

          When did Matthysse / Postol become a good anticipated fight this is probably like the 20-30th most intriguing/ anticipated fight this year, Nothing special. Postol fought like twice in 2 years against Aydin and against the 321st ranked 140lber. People only know or care about Postol because he became Garcias Mando.

          Nelo / Cotto is a great fight but was inevitable and props to GB for feeding Lemiux to GGG but GB went from the #1 spot to 2nd tier in less then a year and probably will continue to fall l. I wouldn't get my hopes up and don't think the futures too bright for GB.

          Because I'm a B-hop fan I'd like to be proven wrong though.

            Well he has 3 big fighters so he kinda needs to put them in big fights.

            Cotto/Canelo-Roc-Nation is lead promoter and ****d him in negot

            GGG/Lemieux-K2 is lead i think

            Matts/Postol-Postol is known to NSB but is very unknown to all others

            So i wish him luck cause i like the guy, but dont see GBP being pulled out of anything. IF his guys win and he continues this then i will say he is pulling GBP out of the ground

              Canelo/Cotto

              After it appeared GBP was left for the dead after it lost 95% of it's roster, the company has bounced back and is putting together some great fights for the fans to close the year.

              I don't have a side in this boxing cold war. I'm just a fan that wants to see the best fights getting made and Oscar De La Hoya is doing just that.

              Gotta give the fishnet wearing coke head props where it's due.
              It helps gbp shine when PBC puts on matches like Figeroa vs DeMarco. Soon figters will make their way back to gbp from Haymon.

                The reason they're with him now is because of the pay days, which are unsustainable. Hay on won't have a lock on these guys once the money isnt the same.

                  In order to build and sustain the paychecks the fighters must sell themselves and apparently that hasnt been happening. Not fault of PBC.

                  I have said it many times that there just isnt enough talent in boxing to sustain great match after great match or even decent match after one another.

                  These fighters are building cause no one knows who they are.

                    He's honest about wanting to make great fights and he does treat his fighters well. I'm happy that things are starting to turn back around for golden boy. He needed to go through what he did and get ripped off by Schaefer and Haymon to make his company betters. Golden boy promotions is here for the long term they are not going away and they will get even bigger and better.

                      Having a smaller roster might actually be a blessing for him! It allows him to focus only on a few fighters which is much easier. But Credit to Eric Gomez who doesn't get talked about at all but Gomez is/was allegedly behind a lot of the matchmaking even before the Schaefer Split when they was giving fans loaded cards

                      Oscar I think will be fine, his Bitterness on Social Media is annoying sometimes, he doesn't have to always been Negative about things he is not involved with and people get on him when he starts to do the childish stuff on Social Media. Focus on his own Promotion and just ignore the rest!

                      Not sure if they can Maintain because the Roster is thin. Of course they NEED Canelo and Lemeiux to WIN! If that Happens then GBP is in Excellent Position going into the future. If both lose then not really sure about GBP Future.
