    Some fo you folks need to understand that GBP has been around for just a few short years and they have accomplished a mother****ing ton in that short time period.

    Take a look at former HBO kingpin Lou Dibella...do you think he wouldnt give his left and right nuts to own Oscar's stable of fighters and not his own? Lou has also been in the business for a couple years longer too.

    Look at the beloved Sugar Ray Leonard...his compnay went bust in no time...

    Oscar is the future of the sport, next to Bob Arum there is not a promoter in the world with a deeper talent pool to choose from.

    It takes time and as always Oscar is being graded harder then most even though he is doing things at a pace we have not seen before.

      At least they made Barrera vs. Juarez possible without it being PPV. Yeah my bad on quiles vs. diaz neither are golden boy. I was reading a promotion of the fight and it stated that Diaz was with Golden Boy promotions but it seem he is with Sycuan promotions.....whatever that is.

        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.
        Great Point Playa...this guy is making that cash off of crap...I also see Mosley vs Vargas being the only fight worth paying for...You see his name on everything out there now.....mybe he will set his promotion game up in the near future...he as the money to do so...

            Can't argue with that...

            Ta boot it is not like he is helping things by giving his boy Nard one final payday on PPV...

            this Tarver vs. Hopkins fight is certainly not for the fans-its for the retiring Bernard Hopkins and his bank account.

            This fight will be sold to dip****s who think this is to quote Stephen A. Smith "thee fight in the sport"...but try selling this fight ot cult memebers like us as "thee fight in the sport" we will laugh in your ****ing face...we may still buy it but we will still laugh.

              It doesn't matter how many great horses you have in your stabble, if there is nobody to watch there is no more stable.

              Imagine if the NFL only had games on PPV...do you really think Football would still be the #1 sport? the answer is NO..why? because only a certain portion of the people in this country can pay for such a thing...what drives the market up is the average guy, and when he has to make a choice to either pay his rent or pay for football, which one do you think he will do

                This is a simple case of walking beofre you learn to run or however that ****ing saying goes...

                As Lou Dibella and Sugar Ray have proven it takes more then just a big name and some cash to make a promotional company work...Oscar and GBP's goal which they have stated is to put boxing back on network television which is great but first things first...


                They need to become a profitable promotional company and they are but it takes time...you dont just jump into the business sing a couple of stars and ink a deal with ABC or NBC...(at least I dont think thats how it works)...Give Oscar a break-I think in time he will prove to be awful damn good for this sport not just in the ring but out of it as well.

                  Does anyone else not want to buy Oscar fights because he is so money hungry? I feel that way... The only fight I would buy is Oscar vs Mayweather.

                    This makes perfect sense, ****!

                    Jesus Christ...you think Oscar is money hungry...wait until the negotiations start with Junior...you'll see money hungry.

                    All fighters are money hungry-they ****ing punch each other in the face for a living they have a right too go for the money...pointing out Oscar as some sort of money hungry lone wolf is unfair,he is just one of many-understand?
