Thats why he is not being promoted because he reportedly has one fight left with top rank, and once its over Brandon Rips will go to Pbc. Top Rank is trying to sideline Rios till the end of the year for one more fight against Bradley where they hope he looses. So when he looses his stock will drop. By keeping him unactive he will likley loose his next fight because of not being inactive
Why not. Every time someone leaves Arum or just signs with Haymon they get rich. Rios saw Maidana make in one year what took him almost 30 fights and a trip to China to make. Who doesn't want that? We saw that bum Chavez Jr. make 4 million dollars in one night. Never on Top Rig.
The haymon cash windfall will end as soon as he controls boxing. If he takes over 3 years from now, these guys wont be getting 20% of that. Mark my words.
Rios is a cool kid. Same excellent work ethics as the greats. He always come to fight and he doesn't stop coming 'til the bell rings. I hope he leaves TR for good and gets promoted well in the future.
