    Urgh, Golden Boy over here? No thanks. We've got enough **** promoters who protect their fighters, don't need another one.

    What do they need planks of wood for? Is Oscar building a tree house?

    That plank is brittle not the best foundation at all

    Tom Dallas has all the tools to reach the top of the tree lad.

    Yeah, I can remember them talking about sign Ogogo straight after the Olympics, don't think he'll do much in the pro's mind, looked very fragile in the olympics.

    Yep, they're going to need more than one fighter as well if they're actually serious about promoting over here.

    It'd be typical Golden Boy if they make a big deal out of signing Ogogo and he flops in the pros :lol:

    We have more than enough fighters to allow another promotion company or two to enter the stakes. ******'s sitting on fighters that are talented but aren't getting the fights because his stable's too big.

    Not to mention GBP coming over here is good for competition between the promoters and I reckon it'd be a huge benefit our fighters who could resource training Stateside.

    GBP over here is a win-win situation.

    Oh really so when they had Amir Khan fight Maidana, Peterson, and Danny Garcia. They were protecting him? :think
