Manny Pacquaio may join Golden Boy Promotions

[Dr Cynical]

I don't think Manny joining GBP is a good idea . . . DLH is a Mexcican do you honestly believe that DLH will be too happy for Manny to destroy his paisano's careers?

I think it would be a good idea.
Didn't someone say that DLH lets his fighters go against the fighters they want to?

I don't think it would be a good idea because every fighter that joins GBP seems to lose their next fight. Consider the following:


- MAB lost (big time) to Pac in his first GBP fight
- Juan Carlos Rubio gets KOd in his first fight under GBP
- Juan Valenzuela sustains an injury before being able to fight for the first time under GBP
- Fernando Montiel lost his first fight (against Mark Johnson by MD) in his first fight under GBP
- Javier Jauregui loses his second fight under GBP to Julio Diaz by MD.

I'm sure there are more, and Baya can back me up on these. Seems to me that GBP is cursed. I hate to see fighters sign there and then get hexed.

Well, DLH is a fighter, so maybe he understand.

I have already said many times this or Top Rank would be a very wise move.

Oh yes that's because GBP is not at par with TOP RANK or DON KING Production yet in influencing boxing bodies. But anyway I have nothing really against GBP it's just that Pacquiao "MIGHT" not get the best deal if he is about to fight a mexican fighter irregardless of who the promoter will be, blood is always thicker than water or paper (money) so it's always a factor to consider.

I agree. Oscar has tried many times throughout his career to have Mexicans portray him as one of their own, but it hasn't happened.

Pac being in GBP would not be wise, imho.

All I know is that it sucks big time. They have been getting a hard time getting even state Golden Gloves to fight in their cards.
