    Better to educate those top prospects about the GBP curse. :D

    I think Top Rank is the best choice for them.

    Warren because he would manage my career carefully giving me both maximum exposure with less risk probably negotiate me a title tilt then i could leave him anyway if i wanted more money

    When Golden Boy actually develops a homegrown fighter and TURNS them into a Top 5 P4P fighter, they'll have a valid argument for #1.

    I'm a stick with the local scene and sign with Peltz Boxing.. Same promoter to promotes Mike Jones.... In the Philly fight scene, so you will be battle tested.. At the same time, no afraid to take risk...

    I'd first sign with Top Rank, then once I started to get bigger go with GBP.

    Don King Promotions.

    After seeing how many title shots John Ruiz has had in the past few years, and after seeing how many decisions (close decisions have been swayed towards the Don King fighter) I concur that King will get you the exposure, the title shots and the money.

    Not to mentioned this guy still has alot of weight.

    1.Golden Boy-Just as long as I stay on my feet I will win. Plus, they have HBO in their pocket.

    2.Top Rank-Basically, because of the same reasons as above, but as a top prospect TR doesn't have HBO in their pocket. I would be on PPV's. It is exposure, but not maximum exposure.

    3.Sauerland-Same as GBP. Maximum exposure, lots of money.

    4.Frank Warren-As above, exposure + money, not too mention easy opponents.

    5.Gary Shaw-Gary Shaw would be very loyal and for the most part he and Showtime have a good thing going. Darchinyan has been on Showtime 11 times, or so,ething like that.
