Tecate doing a time buy on ESPN for GBP

[The Gambler1981]

GBP has a lot of prospects that need exposure, hopefully some get matched mildly tough. I am not expecting much but there will be some decent fights, some prospects will graduate while others will vanish.

Hopefully they can find some more money through ticket sales or other advertising to really put on at least some slightly better cards.

why do all fights have to be big names?? the little guys need a chance to prove themselves..just enjoy the sport

agreed I hope gbp brings back Friday night fights and showcase their prospects on it.

The fight budget for ESPN's Friday Night Fights was $50,000. So, Golden Boy will produce the same quality level of fights as FNF.

I actually miss FNF. The fights weren't great, but the announcing team made them seem like great fights.

they need to bring back FNF.this is a great chance to do it. teddy atlas and joe tessitore were a great team.

This is awesome. You'll get a more California-leaning FNF. I'm all for it, I miss FNF!

You can make some great, competitive fights between low level guys with the given budget.

Tecate is a crap beer.

[snoopymiller]

$65k is higher than the budget FNF had for years.

Isn't that also higher than many Shobox cards?

If so, what's "horrible" about that?

Its just a non factor in the big picture.

That's what it is.

Why is 65K bad? This is to showcase up and coming talent, not put on blockbuster fights

[Rip Chudd]

So more boxing for boxing fans doesnt =BIG NEWS?? wtf do you want out of this sport?

Its chump change compared to what PBC is building.

It's embarrassing that some ****** fans even compare GBP to PBC.

I'm not sure what PBC is building and why you are bringing them up, but exposing future stars is really good idea, don't ya think?
