    I remember seeing Brant on the PBC roster just a couple years back before going to Top Rank. He should’ve just stayed with Haymon. Filler fights would’ve suited him well

      I have zero idea why fighters still do business with the crooks over at TR. Arum has a 60 yr history of shady business practices. How many fighters have to sue this clown before other fighters steer very clear of this organization

        I mean does ANY promoter not act like a manager these days? The business of boxing is completely fooked up & makes no sense.

          If he did that he would've never become a champion and therefore wouldn't even be somewhat relevant at the moment.

            if you bothered to actually READ the story, you would have seen that Top Rank was not alleged to have done any wrongdoing.

              The smaller promoters have to enter into agreements with the bigger promoters in order to get fights for their boxers.

              Bob Arum is the biggest culprit. It's a monopolistic power structure and shouldn't be allowed.

                After reading the article, I then purposely read every comment, excepting someone to make a comment about Arum having just read the headline., and not actually read the court filings.

                  Isn’t Cohen the same guy that was behind Jarrell Miller?
