    Do you believe that? I sort of do. They seem to be the first promoters in a while who want to get involved and make every big fight. Win or lose.

    As Bajingo says they all say same thing but in a nice way GBP are naive and stupid and make errors like taking Khan to fight in Washington without demanding neutral officials.

    :good

    And it's Schaefer who's the main man at GBP.

    That said they are putting good shows together, got some nice prospects as well.

    And they deserve credit for not cancelling that Morales/Garcia card or bringing in a replacement for Erik. The fights still on :happy

    Their match making ****s me off, they are one of the biggest offenders for disgusting miss matches of epic proportions. They are complete hypocrites, and are only a little bit better off then that fat **** Gary Shaw in the most idiotic promoter field.

    To be fair i think they do . They just havnt worked out how . I do think there plan is to do to booxing what Dana White has done for MMA , ie dominate and make fights happen . I may be horribly wrong though .

    Do they want to make big fights?

    Well, they've made a lot of big fights over the past few years now. I've been pretty impressed.

    They are not the same, in my op. They do an excellent job.

    They want people to believe they want to make the big fights, but the less fuss a fight takes for decent coin the better.

    GBP want to make the "big fights" in the same way the UFC does in MMA. They want a monopoly of all the big name fighters and up-and-comers, with smaller promoters picking up the scraps. Is all the BS Oscar spouts out on Twitter true? No.

    GBP are as bad as the others. It's just people are still in the honey moon peroid with them. What they did to Don George was bull****, what they are doing to Peterson is bull****.
