the ring ratings at 147 on march 2009?
top 5 147
Antonio Margarito
Miguel Cotto
Shane Mosley
Joshua Clottey
Manny Pacquiao
i shiet you not.
look up pac's next 4 fights after hatton at 140.
top rank ran out of 147 fighters for pac.
that's why they were signing guys like shane and jmm or having their 135/140 guys move up.

wish he did.
but bad blood with gbp over mgm/hbo at the time.
and stfu about "SLAVE" contracts. kunta kinta wasn't making millions of dollars.

Originally posted by [HORUS] REBORN View PostYou can't honestly sit here and tell me that Bob Arum didn't sign certain guys to slave contracts. These guys literally had to resign YEARLY contracts with him just to even get a fight. That's why guys like Bradley, Chavez, Rigo, Mikey Garcia and so on wanted out. To my surprise, Bradley actually got a good deal out of it but the other guys had no choice but to leave.
every promoter signs fighters to long contracts. they have to build them up.
they're investments.
