    Here's the article to read on the matter: https://www.badlefthook.com/2018/3/...aches-haymon-fighters-about-promotional-deals

    I think many of those guys should consider it. Top Rank is more polished and they have the right media links to build their brand better. This would be a win-win for Top Rank fighters and PBC fighters who are waiting in the shadows for fights.

    With Manny fighting for his walking papers and Bradley gone, Arum is down to 2 names Crawford and Lomachenko and neither guy is raking in the dough for the company right now.

    yeah I'd like to see Crawford, Horn, Kavaliauskas, Besputin, Ponomarev beat up some of those overrated welterweights Haymon has.

    Spence has fought in front of 30,000 people in the UK. Made good money.
    Thurman, Garcia and Wilder have never even experienced that.

    These clowns aren't too bright and refuse to travel and stage fights with other promoters.

    Agreed. Haymon is a great business man but his fighters are very inactive. Keep Haymon on as an advisor, benefit from his business acumen, leverage it and get the big purses....but allow Top Rank to help them stay active. Everyone wins especially us Boxing fans. Haymon fighters still make the big paydays, just more frequently and Bob is able to line his pockets putting on quality boxing matches.

    That was the relationship Haymon, Oscar, and Richard had before the fallout. GBP was a machine before Oscar pretended to get clean and split the group up.
    I hope Richard, Arum, and Al could work it out for the best.

    Yup. That was a great time in Boxing when there was a lot of collaboration and synergy amongst Richard, Bob and Al.

    Ponamarev's people got offered Spence twice and said "no" both times. And he's good.

    Is Bob Arum really good for guy's careers? Last I checked Manny is broke.
