    WTF....

    They sign Barrera - Barrera then gets his **** kicked in by Packy

    Hopkins - his streak ends

    Corrales - Sad day when he died

    Haye - Quits before the fight even starts

    Hatton - we all know what happened there

    They Pimp out Ortiz like he's the next DLH - He quits and uttered a sentence that broke a lot of fans hearts

    They sign Linares - :dead

    Feel free to post others right now. I know there's more somewhere in the back of my head.

    Haye signed them up as advisors about 3 or 4 fights ago. I don't think they ever promoted him just there to help out once he hit the US.

    Kirkland as well and Juan Diaz. Also there was this fighter they were trying to hype up at one of those Club Nokia events and he ended up getting knocked the **** out of. If anyone knows the name let it be known.

    Don't forget the Kirkland situation as well. It's times like these that I'm glad Valero ditched GBP at the last moment and signed with Arum :smoke

    Btw, anyone know if Teddy Atlas made a pick on the Linares/Salgado fight?

    Despite being a fan of his, I have to say that the Golden Boy retiring on his stool heads the list.

    People must get cold feet when they sign with GBP as if the spotlight lands on them and chokes them up. I am guessing this has to be it as they were able to develop at their own pace and suddenly find themselves in the spotlight being called the next DLH, "goldenboy", etc.

    ^ yeah I was thinking about Kirkland to.

    but how about Kassim Ouma (is he still Golden Boy)

    he of course got the Middleweight shot vs Taylor .. and since then has faded to near obscurity in losing a SD to a journeyman (Roman) plus losing to the Contender's K-9
