    Haven't heard anything about him after he got injured and pulled out of the Clottey fight.

    There's PLENTY of $$$$$ on that PPV to make room for a co-main/chief support for Canelo vs Cotto.

    Knowing the May/Pac fight one it's own with Theophane vs Rios as chief support would do 2 million, Bob and TMT gotta believe adding Cotto v Canelo would bump them over the 2.5 million mark and those kinds of numbers would allow an extra 15-20 mil to spend on the undercard.

    Bob's just gonna have to leave Shiming outta this one though. Unless it's for a World Title and Zoo agrees to 500K. IDK what his promo deal is, but he's making more than Lomachenko, I know that.

    But adding Canelo v Cotto would take 20 mil, and that would leave about 5 mil for the entire rest of the card.

    I think Loma vs Gradovich/Velez winner would be tertiary, and then like I mentioned earlier, a stay busy/showcase fight for Rios, and maybe bring in Allahkverdiev or Provo from TR, and Broner or someone of that calibre as an opponent for Allahverdiev or Provo.:think

    He probably has been advised to not take any fights before Cotto is ready next year. If he lost that would endanger the high finance fight they have planned.

    He's probably somewhere in-between Oscars left and right nut sacks.
