    lets say they got rid of one company. who would you rather have put on 95% of the boxing events?

    oscars golden boy

    or bob arums toprank

    (yes i know it can seem like you are picking the lesser of 2 evils here)

    personally i much favor GBP as they seem to make better fights and especially lately seem to stack there undercards

    One company is bad for fighters as it puts them at the mercy of one greedy promoter

    More promoters = better shopping for deals, Cotto increased his pay by a Million or Two playing GBP vs TR

    If there was no cold war,.fighters will retire, move up in weight, get robbed on the cards.

    Boxing is bigger than Pacman/Mayweather

    Competition is necessary otherwise all cards will be boring. I'm recently enjoying Golden Boy far more because of their solid cards.

    In Mayweather vs Pacquiao's case, all blame goes to Mayweather and not Golden Boy. Mayweather represented his self during the talks for this fight, Golden Boy didn't. Before the Mayweather-Pacquiao talks Golden Boy had no problems making fights with TOP RANK. Mosley vs Concreto, Pacquiao-Barrera, Pacquiao-DLH, Pacquiao-Hatton, Pavlik-Hopkins...etc
