    Yeah Abraham/Oral will be aired on Showtime. Whether it's on delay or live is still unknown.

    Good lord the Top Rank PPV looks nice. If only we still had Alvarado vs Magic Man though.

    I bet that Öner (Oral is with Arena) has made this deal for SE.

    So it means in the best case that Abraham's next 3 fights (Oral in June, Lorenzo in September, Pavlik in January?) will be available on US TV and 2 of 3 of those fights will happen in the US...

    Are you suggesting that Ahmet would be Abraham's US promoter?

    Imagine an Abraham-Gamboa-Lara Miami card, that'd be awesome.

    No, but Sauerland and Öner have an ok relationship (quite a difference considering Öner's relationship to Kohl).

    Sauerland helped Öner and gave him tips at the start up of Arena Box-Promotion - so now it's time to give back...
