    Out of the 3 most discussed promotional companies, which is the best for boxing, which is the worst, and elaborate on the weak/strong points of each one....

    currently they're all bad, only matching up fighters within their stable.

    "It is an imperative magnanimous situation we have on our hands fellow Americans, we must implant fortuitous moles on the extravagant East Side Boxing forum to promote and procure our way of business here at Don King Productions on their magnificent message board immediately and without transparency" - Don King

    HI DON!

    There's a common perception that King used to put together a more stacked undercard than the likes of GBP and Top Rank generally do these days. People are looking at their 50-buck PPVs and thinking, "Damn, Don may have been a shithawk, but at least he stacked the card". They may have a point, but it's not enough for me to overlook all his other stuff.

    I think they're all pretty bad at the moment.

    Same here, the smaller promotors are muscled out and the inhouse bouts (does that count as domestic violence) are seriously bad for boxing.

    Very well written. Underlined the things I would have said, my knowledge doesn't extend too far into promotion companies! :good
