Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer was unavailable for immediate comment, but Boxingtalk understand that GBP only needed 50,000 buy to break even. Boxingtalk rates Barrera as the top junior lightweight in the world, while Fana will drop to #27 when the new ratings are released next week. Stay tuned to our front page for all the latest.
