No need for Golden Boy because they dont have a monolopy of fighters in the higher weights. Probably Hearn would be best option for now
I think he should sign with Top Rank
And end up broke like Pacquiao
He needs to either blackmail Hearn into making the Froch rematch or leave for one of the American promoters
He had offer from all these promotional companies. He is going to leave matchroom.
Top Rank do a great job.
Just look at the fighters they have promoted.
De La Hoya
Mayweather
Pacquiao
I think Hearn wants the rematch as he will make shed loads of money for it but Froch doesnt want another beating. Ward is in a dispute with his promoter currently. I wonder if he will sign with Top Rank to just get the Chavez fight..
Is that Goossen guy still Ward's promoter?

And rob their fighters blind. No coincedence that De La Hoya and Mayweather made way more money when they broke free from Top Rank. Pacquiao is now broke. He should have signed with Golden Boy when he had the chance.

Yep think Ward is taking it to court to break free.
I wonder if Pacmonster is gonna renew his contract with TR. I hope he moves to GBP, there are so many big fights there for him
His contract is up at the end of this year I believe. From what I remember after the Bradley fight Pacquiao demanded Arum to make the Mayweather but him and Koncz said if you fight Marquez now (before he got KOd) you will get Mayweather the following year even though they had no intention of making it). God knows how Arum got him to extend it to 2014. Manny better not make the same mistake again.
Pacquiao don't need a promoter, he is boxing's biggest star.
Yeah he could be a free agent for sure.
When is his contract with HBO up though? Same time as his TR contract?

His PPV numbers really show that
Not sure if he is tied down to a contract with HBO
Hmmm good.
Bradley's contract is up with TR this year as well. My G Thurman is gonna put him to sleep if he moves to GPB as expected and he doesn't duck
Top Rank is a sinking ship
They've got some good fighters in the lower divisions
If Groves signs with Top Rank, he will get fights with Ward and GGG.
If he signs with GBP, he won't get those fights.
Any chance of Ward moving back to Showtime or has he burnt the bridges?
I don't want GGG fighting Groves, I like both and don't wanna see either lose
He doesnt need to sign for top rank to get those fights
But if he signs for Golden Boy, no chance
Golden Boy and HBO not working together isnt going to last forever. Groves should stick with Hearn in my opinion.
Just realised GGG's fight against Adama is just over a month away
I think he'll fight Mora after he beats Adama and then Geale or Murray.
"Golden Boy and HBO not working together isnt going to last forever."

Why do you think that? I hope you're right
Money and HBO just threw their toys out the pram because Floyd didnt sign with them and they blamed Golden Boy for it. They will work together sometime in the future 100% sure of it but whether it will take months or years who knows.

Who should George Groves sign for?
