    Seriously GBP was able to sign almost all the U.S. Olympians Arum could only get one and now he is resorting to signing chinese and japanese olympians. Now there was the news that Pacquiao will not fight in the US anymore! Top Rank realizes they dont have the american stars right now to draw ratings in the US and they are all at Golden boy promotions. Now they have to go to Asia to make a profit. Things are looking good for Golden Boy Promotions right now. It is possible it can change but that is how things are right now.

    Smart move by Top Rank if you can't get the biggest American stars you have a wide open market in Asia.

    Boxing greats are not limited to one country you should know that.


    There is alot of talent through out the world, Arum is just tapping into those markets, thats why its a big deal, but it has always existed.

    Arum will say: China is where the money is at. Better than U.S. better than U.K., better than Canada.

    Then he will have a falling out with China and start a smear campaign against it.

    This is a terrible analysis made by a young mind. Very, very poor. Top Rank are seeking what in the adult world we call "business opportunities". Guess what?...Asia has a lot of them and it's where business is already headed in the very near future. Pick up a newspaper son.

    Because blacks generally offer very little business. There's Mayweather and then there's nothing. The business comes from the Mexicans and always has, and Bob has intelligently kept a tab on them since he began business. There's a whole wide world outside your house/government-funded home, if one day you can afford a plane ticket and go see it.

    What an idiot.

    Seeking a business opportunity should not mean that your areas of core competency are neglected. In this case that is the US. Arum and HBO are losing big time in the US market.

    Explore away in Asia. Good move. Totally lose the US market by being such an a-hole that the top promotional outfit doesn't want to work with you? Not so much a good move.

    Remember clown. Both ODLH and FMJ used to be Top Rank fighters. The both left and became mega rich. They and that independent accounting firm tried to save Pacfraud's dumb a$$. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. :lol:
