GBP: No Silver-Lining For Goldenboy Promotions

[TheDemolitionDan]

Golden Boy is fine. Without a doubt they are number 1 they have tons of big name fighters and fighters with big futures.

On a side note I know Pacquiao is with Top Rank, but why is Pacquiao considered a Golden Boy fighter on the Goldenboy website?

BEcause Top Rank and Golden Boy did reach an agreement on the Pacman case; to make a long story quick: Pacman did sign in first time a thing with top rank stipulating he doesn't have the right to sign with anybody before his list fight is over.
PAcman then signed with GoldenBoy before the fight got over (this last fight was under Top Rank Copyright).
He then re-signed a deal with Arum while normally the deal with goldenboy was effective.
They went to court and they found a settlement: Pacman belongs to top Rank for every fights except for the fights where he fights a goldenboy stable fighter, then GoldenBoy has the right over some special percentage (something like 50% if I recall) of the money Bob would normally do. So.. theorically, he's a goldenboy fighter too, just partly but indeed.
