Top Rank won't be showing the very talented Oleksandr Gvozdyk vs. Nadjib Mohammedi (former world title challenger) as the 4th televised fight. Or Konstantin Ponomarev (29-0) vs. Brad Solomon (26-0). I wonder why? Why does Top Rank do such a poor job with their Eastern European boxers? They would be better off with Al Haymon, who has been doing good work with Derevyanchenko, Glowacki, and Khytrov. Or Main Events, which has done a great job with Kovalev and Mikhaylenko. Likewise for Golden Boy, which has had Shabranskyy on TV many times now, and he's never disappointed. Lomachenko is wasting his prime, but he can't leave because he's locked into a contract with Arum. Korobov declined after fighting meaningless opposition with small paydays for five years, and Mekhontsev has now similarly declined.
That's ****ing ridiculous.c **** you Bob Arum you old shriveled up sleazeball. HBO might put in on their preshow. But even that's doubtful.
They need to break away from the old snake and sign with Haymon, Golden Boy, Main Events or Ryabinsky, so they'll be given a fair shake and their careers won't be ruined.
Floyd Mayweather, who was receiving unfairly low paydays when with the miserly old Arum, was ENORMOUSLY successful and became very rich after breaking away.
Means we get to watch them for free. Top Rank usually streams the preliminaries on their site for free. And no, Al Gaymon is just as bad.
