Look at the World Cup tournament among nations sponsored by GBP, after the Philippines trashed Mexico by a score of 5-1 last August 2007, it's been forgotten... They should have held a World Cup event every year... There's lots of match-ups like Philippines vs. Puerto Rico or Philippines vs. Thailand or Mexico vs. Puerto Rico which is a huge event...

The World Cup thing would make sense if it was a team sport, but it's not.
Not sure really what GBP's final objective with this World Cup thing... Of course GBP wants to make money from this tournaments...

Back to the lightweight tournament, I don't think GBP will have the enthusiasm to continue promoting it if Valero or Julio Diaz will come out on top...

Another thing, they said the winner of the tournament will have a crack on JMM-Juan Diaz winner, how about Campbell-Funeka? Are they left out from this whole thing? Also there are too many boxers involved and I think it takes at least a year to crown one winner...

I think this lightweight tournament is just a one time money making rip off by GBP...
