No...really... NO. Its the same ignorant misconception that all the promoter lovers/haters have and all the idiots that think they could predict that this fight would/would not happen. Its really very simple: If you are Arum you have a duty to yourself and your client, because that is when you get paid... the only duty to be transparent is to Fury, Not to any other party. Ditto for hearn who is also trying to stall, and scrounge to get the most lucrative fight for his charge.
When are people going to get this? Its fundamentally how a fiduciary works... Arum does not give two shiats about what billy bob thinks about his ethics.... hearn is no hero to the cause. these are people trying to get paid and if they think there is an inkling for something better, they will gofor it! the brass ring is worth the reach, until the gold ring is put up for grabs.
What of tomorrow Bomb Squad gets an injury in training? What if Wilder finds his accountant ran off with all his money and decides to take a payment? Nobody knows that any of these fights are a done deal until both fighters arrive for the evening. Any promoter is going to consider all options at all times.
Wanna change it? tell the promoters to take a fkin leap, do what the Paul brothers do, eliminate the middle man. Let the fans pay an escrow for the fight purse, let the networks bid on the fights, and as Eff Panda says "let the promoters be like wedding planners."
