Golden Boy vs Top Rank

[amat]

I don't know if it's always been the case but I've read in a few different places that Forbes is signed to GBP and I'm pretty sure it's been that way for a while. I know that's the case now.

That would be a pretty big conflict of interest though surely promoting your OWN next opponent.

How the hell could Forbes be expected to win when the guy he's fighting in the ring also owns his contract outside of it?

Well, I mean just because he's also the promoter doesn't really mean anything. He might get his fair shake on the ring size, gloves and stuff like that but the judges are selected by the commission and the reason Oscar has so many GBP vs GBP fights (Barrera - Juarez and Hopkins - Wright spring to mind as examples of guys who have stakes in GBP's ownership fighting other GBP fighters) is because that makes the contract stuff easier to work out.

I don't think it's to much of a conflict in interest.
