lol wtf who is he gonna fight?
hes gonna get the zurdo treatment, and arum will blame haymon
DAZN is gonna be gone already soon. There numbers in the US are very bad.
Top Rank will feed him cab drivers for the next 4 years before Munguia realizes he made a mistake, then goes back to Golden Boy.
He'll also get paid, remain undefeated while receiving a lot of hype.
Signing with TR almost ensures security for a fighter.
Is this official or is this the same rumor that was reported last week leaked by ESPN?

❓✍️ WBO super-welterweight champion Jaime Munguia has one fight left on his Zanfer/Golden Boy co-promotional deal which will probably be shown on DAZN. He is then reportedly "likely" to sign with Zanfer/Top Rank and have future bouts on ESPN. — Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) October 26, 2018
Either way there were reports that Liam Smith fight was the only option Golden boy owned with Munguia and that he was definitely going separate ways after that fight...then he signed a extension giving more fight options to Golden boy to land on the canelo/GGG undercard. So I don't see why that won't happen again. The biggest paydays for him is canelo fight and all the belt holders at 160 are now on DAZN. All the top guys at 154 are with PBC literally the worst place to go is ESPN with top rank. You either align yourself with PBC or Golden Boy. Top Rank have nobody at 154 or 160. Munguia is huge his days are numbered at 154 maybe a couple fights then he will be at 160 and DAZN is where the money is at.
Top Rank will feed him cab drivers for the next 4 years before Munguia realizes he made a mistake, then goes back to Golden Boy.
GB was doing just that... Top Rank isn't his promoter, Zanfer is. Zanfer has a deal with Arum where he's been featuring their fighters on ESPN. GB has nothing to offer him at 154.
He isn't leaving GB, he was never with GB. GB got options on him after he beat Ali. Same with Berchelt after he beat Vargas. He's done with his fights and going back to his main promoter who happens to have a good relationship Top Rank. Top Rank and ESPN have been featuring Zanfer fighters as of late just like Berchelt/Roman this weekend.
:nonono: :nonono:
Boxing is just all over the damn place! Great for the boxers to have the option of DAZN, ESPN/ESPN+, Showtime and Fox but awful for the fans and it will keep a lot of match ups from happening that we all want to see. I want Hurd vs Munguia more than I do Hurd vs Charlo but I doubt it ever happens regardless if he stays with GBP or goes to Top Rank and that is very bad for the sport
Arum doesn't have ANYTHING for him at 154 or 160, WTF is he going to do fight Carlos Adames and Murata 2 times each for the duration of his career? GBP don't have anything for him at 154 either but he at least have Canelo at 160 in the future
But GBP works with other promoters.
