    Watch the Super 6 tournament docos, he just comes across as extremley arrogant and throws his weight around, He is a great promoter but he rubs me the wrong way

    American tycoon type attitude. Doesnt get pushed around though. A much needed trait in the industry.

    Shaw cares about his fighters - he was calling for the corner to throw in the towel when Calzaghe was whooping his boy Lacy and you could see from the look on his face how upset he was.

    I think he's good for the sport. He is doing good things for Aussie fighters. Getting them recognised and giving them oppurtunities. Whats wrong with that?

    Gary "Site Fees" Shaw is definitely the worst out of the major 6 US promoters - Top Rank, Golden Boy, Main Events, Lou DiBella & Dan Goossen.

    1. Doesn't build any stars & make them attractions that can sell tickets.
    2. Has little pull on any of the TV networks & his fighters are ALWAYS B side to a major fight contract.
    3. Relies on site fees from small Indian Casino's especially the Chumash where every 2nd card of his resides from.
