    Oscar is just the PR department for GBP.

    He's the face so you don't see the slimy mother ****ers in the back who are trying to take over boxing and monopolize the industry.

    You can't afford to be embarrassed there. He's a Gold medalist and a record breaker of 6 weight divisions world champion. Your all-time idol Chavez is a 3 weight division world champion after 115 fights with over 80 fights being against straight out cans and whatever step up required controversy and robberies.

    You're a piece of garbage.

    No disrespect to Shane, but why does everyone always say he's not the brightest kid around?:huh

    What they did to Ishe was wrong but boxing is a ****ed-up business right? What I'm eager to see is how GBP will develop and keep the young guns who should be the future of the sport.

    Not sure how they help him. Mosley has a big win. Then nothing was done for a year in half. At one point they canceled a schedule date that he had. Instead of giving him a tune up fight after a year feed him to the wolf like floyd. He looked like a shell of himself in that fight. Then after feed to mora who people know was a bad match stylewise for him.

    Mosley those not deserve a fight with pacquiao but in his situation. i don't blame him for looking out for himself. Golden boy priority is to get pac with marquez. There not trying to push him in there. So if you have a chance to win that money fight. How do you blame the guy?

    Let's act like Shane didn't dramatically jump into the ring telling Floyd he wants a fight. Let's pretend Shane didn't enjoy the biggest payday of his career.

    Because he took fights he shouldn't have. Instead of taking the right fight that would turn him into a star. Forest and winky rematch that he wanted damage his career imo. But i give him credit for testing himself. But most fans are about the 0 and what have you done for us latly.

    Thats a good payday for him I agree. He's looking for another one right now. But GBP is his promoter. He was one of BBP biggest active fighter after the margo fight. Get him a fight half the year. If you can't, give him a stay busy fight. For an old timer like Mosley, keep busy fight are important.

    As for Ishe. I like him. But i have to agree he did look like crap his last fight with them. If they can't use him. Being dump was probably the best thing that happened to him. GBP has a lot of fighters in there plate right now. They really dont have the time for him. He would just get lost in the mix.

    Or maybe he was upset GBP were pushing for the Marquez-Pac fight, instead of trying to get him the fight. Mosley is after all an actual welter and the top rated one until earlier this year.

    I think it was more a case of him having to be proactive in order to try to land the Pac fight for one last shot at redemption or risk losing his chance forever being a stepping stone for GBP prospects as Oscar intended.

    Mosley never fought for money. It's kind of insulting for anyone to insinuate that.

    Mosley was the one fighting the Vernon Forrest's, Winky Wright's and Antonio Margarito's while Oscar would only take the fights that made money.

    Even after Mosley signed with GBP, Oscar made sure he would get first crack at the lucrative fights, while Mosley was made to wait or take high risk, low reward fights, even though Shane was more deserving of the money fights.

    With GBP outpricing themselves for the Marquez fight, that would indicate they are the ones being greedy.

    Oscar is the guy who said he wanted to be boxing's first billionaire and publicly declared his dream of having a monopoly on the sport. He was the boxer most consumed with greed of his time, and probably in history. Always made opponents take well below what they were worth, including Mosley. Hard to feel sorry for them.
