    Golden Boy cannot work with HBO under any circumstances and that was a decision made by HBO alone, which completely contradicts your assertion that anyone can work with them.

    Again, Garcia, Broner, and every fighter you see with the Watson twins are Haymon fighters, do they owe double allegiance to both GB and Haymon ?

    Haymon's not technically a promoter, so it's not a matter of owing allegiances to two promoters. It's murky whether his managed fighters have long-term contracts with Golden Boy or are on a per-fight basis, but they should probably be treated as de facto contracts since none of his guys have left GBP.

    Its not even been a year yet, it wont last forever. it takes big fights to stop it. this is not the biggest fight in boxing, but it would be a big fight and sell out for sure

    Golden Boy has loads of guys at 140 and 147 they could match Garcia with, and I fail to see how Provodnikov makes for a bigger fight than their in-house opponents. I think you're significantly overestimating interest in this fight and significantly underestimating the politics surrounding the Cold War.

    Danny's being lined up for Mayweather next year, just forget any idea of a him with Ruslan happening. Angel talks smack whatever.

    Would rather see them talking about making Provodnikov-Matthysse. More realistic chance of happening and possibly more exciting.

    But not any promoter, as you originally stated.

    Also not true. The last ShoBox card was promoted by King for instance.

    Just recently, Rosado's been fighting on both networks, HBO would have Molina - Andrade. (these guys are obviously not GB fighters)

    i dont think were gunna see the 2 big dogs do buisness with eachother anytime soon. and if they do it will be a huge fight tho that the fans must demand.

    if the fans really demand and provo/garcia match then it could happen

    but look it the may/pac fight all that money that fight woulda made n they couldnt
    get there **** together n make that **** happen.

    garcia/provo may be the leadin candidate for them to finally work wit eachother besides pac/may n even now everyone knows the fight wont happen unless
    pac leaves bob

    n garcia has ton of options wit golden boy so unfortunately i dont think we will get
    that lucky .. but if the 2 sides keep running there mouths then that will be good for us.

    That doesnt mean Garcia is gonna fight nobody's till a Mayweather fight. Hes gonna have an awesome 2014. and if he was to whoop on a so called beast in Ruslan the only adds to the fire
