    So was Fury Schwarz...and Fury Wallin. A sad thing to read at the end of the year.

    Arum once again really being a beacon of positivity for the sport of boxing.

    The only fights that have "Pizzazz" for Arum are the ones he can get paid the most for while doing the least amount of work regardless of how much his fighters make.

    This coming from the guy who promoted a Tom Schwartz fight is rich.

    Basically if Bivol wants to make some money he needs to pressure Hearn into getting him a meaningful fight instead of waiting around for a Canelo handout.

    It's Bivol's own fault he is so boring to watch. If he lit Joe Smith up like a Christmas tree a few years ago then there would be more buzz around him.

    Maybe it needs to marinate until Arum is as dead as Betty White; THEN it will happen.

    He’s right, Bivol is very good but also very easy to forget, I wish he pushed the pace more, it doesn’t help he’s not English speaking either.

    Arum, King, and Ortiz are all in a secret competition to see who can outlive each other while being active in pro boxing in some capacity. I fully expect Arum is too stubborn to lose.

    Can’t say I’m surprised. Networks and promoters don’t like working together.

    I can’t ****ing believe this, and this is coming out the same day as the reports about Andrade vacating his belt to move to 168 rather than defending it against Alimkhanuly.

    I literally feel like puking.

    Andrade is a giant 160lbs fighter.

    He should have been at 168lbs years ago. Just another weight bully.

    Bivol just needs to bleach his hair like Ike Quartey did and he'll start landing the big fights.
