Is Goldenboy a virus to boxing?

[Deeznuts]

I have notice lately that Goldenboy promotions charges PPV fees for many of their fights which have little appeal and it is making ppl pay just to watch them.

Barrera vs. Peden
Barrera vs. Fana
Ricky Qules vs. Julio Diaz
Vargas vs. Mosley 2

These fights already happene dor are scheduled to and they all are PPV. Golden boy is adding to the garbage HBO use to put out on PPV, in my opinion.

You certaqinly have an argument, especially with Barerra and a couple of his fights-it was just flat out wrong to have him starring in PPV events when his oppoenent was an ESPN caliber fighter.

Are you sure Julio Diaz and Ricky Quiles are Oscar's fighters? Im probably wrong but I cant remember the affiliation with promoters...

If you are going to bring up the bad you must alos bring up some of the positives as well like...

Barerra vs. Pacman on free HBO...but your right GBP needs to do a better job in reaching out to a broader audience if there ultimate goal is in fact as they say "to bring boxing back to network television"

Vargas Mosley 2 is the only one worth thinkin about. And i mean thinkin hard.

I dont know if it's just me, but Showtime Championship Boxing on Saturdays has been lookin real good lately.

The latest one with Rivera beating Gomez was a great fight, and so was the undercard with the Russian Kirilov getting robbed.

add to that Corrales -vs- Castillo III comin up on June 3rd with Vic Darchinyan on the undercard, those are some good fights for non PPV.

Hey Manny it was GBP who took over Barerra's career and immediately made the fight with your boy PAC, a fight that Barrera old promoter said he would have never made in a million years.

GBP-started PAC on his road to glory in a way so give a shout out my man!

I am all for fighters being paid lots of money, but somebody has to realize that boxing is dying in the minds of the "average" guy that walks the street; the average guy is what makes a sport big, he is the person that is "on the fence" with all sports, looking to become a fan of a sport...This guy is what makes guys like Oscar and Tyson lots of money...this guy, is what makes all athletes lots of money.
There will always be those die hard fans that will stick with their sport, but it is the average guy that becomes interested, that fills the large portion of the seats that sell out stadiums, and buy PPVs.


If I am not mistaken, when boxing was big, it was on regular television, kind of like the NFL, MLB, and NBA.

Boxers have to realize, to get paid, you need FANS, and the way to get Fans is EXPOSURE.

Of course this can all be settled with a Leauge that established Rules, a Union, Commissioner, etc.

i think GBP does better matchin no name guys
and bringin up new guys
but when it comes to their already established guys
they do seem like theyre tryin to milk them
