If Koasicha is the best opponent that Arum can get, it doesn't speak volumes about him as a promoter. I think Lomachenko would be better off signing with Haymon.
gaymon doesn't pit his best fighters against each other so your point is moot.pbc stands for prime boxing cherries.lomachencko just signed a long term deal with arum.
I believe that early title fights was a condition for Loma signing with him. Arum had to arrange those fights. For getting Rigo, Santa Cruz, Selby, Arum needs to show enough money, but he is too greedy for that.
It was intended to be, originally. Both the WBC and WBA thankfully refused to sanction it and told Haymon/Garcia to screw...which is when it became a catchweight fight.
That's shiest if true. I thought it was originally and always announced as a 142 lb. fight when signed.
