    Because when you want to fight the top heavyweights in the world ... you sign with Andy Ruiz's promoter!!!

    Good Lord.

    Wait, what? :lol:
    Old Bob really throwing that ESPN money around. It's clear that Arum want's a foothold in the Heavyweight division. He has been slowly building a B list stable of his own.

    I think it's clear that Pulev is after the money, not the glory.

    Ruiz Jr.
    Parker
    Jennings
    Guido Vianello - still waiting to makes pro debut. 2016 Olympian from Italy.

    So TR has one prospect and 3 guys who all could fight for a title any time soon.

    Good move for Arum, Pulev will be mandatory for Joshua soon so will get a large % from that fight.

    I'm getting the feeling Pulevs backers are going to try and out pursebid Matchroom and milk it for all its worth.

    Pulev? That's a funny way to spell Robert Helenius.

    That is weird. He has a guaranteed shot against AJ. Why share the money with Arum?
