    After a few more years Arum and King will be history and GBP/GGP will be the biggest promotional company.

    I have no problem with this actually... i think they will be succesful at bringing boxing back to mainstream once they gain control of everything...


    i think its obvious the way boxing is going now, were doing something wrong...

    I think that if GBP gain control... you wont have to deal with promoter problems, ect,

    Ever since boxing got Golden Boy Promotions things are getting better.

    2007 was a great year for boxing, and 2008 already looks to better it.

    One Fraud Mayweather leaves the game for good, we'll get the best fighting the best.

    so far so good. There are still bigtime promoters all over the world so we don't have to worry about GBP being a monopoly and ****ing everyone over cause if they start to go sour they will get replaced and quickly.


    Also GPB has done a great job at looking outside the box in terms of promotion and this has been great for boxing.

    GBP is the Wal-Mart of boxing (minus the low prices).....taking over.

    I worry that Bob Arum will start getting salty since GBP is doing better than Top Rank and their peace will be broken.

    GBP is helping revolutionize boxing promotion. Everything has been great so far. I've seen where some of the smaller name fighters (such as Ishe Smith) weren't as satisfied working with GBP. I'm sure with an ever growing stable of good and great fighters, that some get overlooked at times. However, the chance to go out and fight on the undercard of a De La Hoya or Hopkins fight, is an opportunity every up and coming fighter would beg for. It gives them much needed exposure and a chance to shine. The Katsidis/Amondsot (sp) fight from the Wright/Hopkins undercard was the best fight of the night and will help propel Katsidis into cult boxing stardom.

    GBP is good.
