Yes, PBC has bigger fights for him and signing with Haymon makes those much more likely.

Good. It increases the likelihood of a Spence-Crawford bout for the vacant lineal championship of the division.

I want to see the killer in there with the PBC boys, specifically Spence, yesterday, so green light, if his team gets those fights guaranteed contractually, as TR has not been able to get the man the fights he deserves at welterweight and PBC is the least likely to co-promote among the majors.

The right fights have to be made. This era in boxing, even considering the effects of the pandemic, is the most frustrating in my lifetime. Too many outlets promoting too many "champions" with secondary and interim belts all looking to showcase and milk their fighters' positions and perceived power which leads to a a shit buffet across the board for the fans with the rare quality fight served up after the masses have gorged themselves on the only substance available for months on end: bland, grating gruel that nobody asked for nor covets.

Arum was publicly shitting on his a few months back so it’s definitely the right move...

Time to make the big fights

Maybe he'll actually have one of his first meaningful fights in several years if he does that. I hope he does.

I can't believe anybody at all still signs with Don King. Aside from being a known Rip off artist, he also just has basically no credibility in Boxing anymore. When's the last time one of his guys was involved in a major fight? Hasn't happened anytime in the last 12 or 14 years for sure.

His Heavyweight cards are the last thing of any note I remember him doing.

I've been saying TC needs to leave TR for years. When Arum didn't make the Manny fight for him, he should have left then...

What gets me is he complains pbc guys wont fight him. While i agree pbc should fight him, he knew this was a strong possibility when he resigned with TR

He made a lot of money to fight no hopers. But his prime is anout done and the best fighter he beat was gamboa.
