    Probably feels pretty good about it. Now he gets to reduce his minimums and still make money off him as an opponent

      I doubt Arum even makes any money when his British fighters fight in the UK.
      He makes money only when they fight in the US. Same case with Josh Taylor.

        Wood deserves credit for keeping the pressure on and willing himself to a win. That stated, it just felt like Conlan choked away a fight he should’ve won.
        Yeah after the 7th Conlan landed the big lefts sporadically but Wood dug deep and pushed harder. Conlan didn't have the extra push that was needed to finish the fight strong. After 11 I had it 103 Woods 104 Conlan and without the knockout it was a draw had it went to the cards. AWESOME fight though!

          Not a choke. Conlan gave it his absolute best, every ounce of energy he had but came up short. It happens, no shame in that.

            Well last night one of his fighters got KTFO big time by a Hearn fighter on DAZN. Yes for us that was fighter B beating fighter A but the crispy racist will be taking that very personal, he will feel like ***** having to watch another Russian tank get rocketed. He will of been sat in his white robes and pillow case hat and would of been frothing at the mouth.
            That’s great news that the klan is admitting ***s now. They have a long way to go but it’s a beginning

              People acting as if Arum doesn't care...of course he cares. Conlan could've gone for a belt at SBW but instead was steered in this direction. If Bob had a '**** it I don't care let's take a risk' approach with Conlan they would've just taken the Fulton fight. Instead TR carefully planned out his path. Bob was hoping to sell out MSG with Conlan defending his belt against C-level opponents for as long as possible. Arum is bitter and wouldn't let his fighter on a rival's show unless very confident he would win. Last time I recall him doing it was when he let Ramirez fight Hooker on DAZN and he kept bringing it up for months afterwards to criticise Hearn.

              Arum is petty enough, apparently he got so worked up when Conlan got knocked out of the ring that Todd had to change his colostomy bag.

                When you have someone down early and have a lead going into the championship rounds when all you need to do is stay on your feet, to some degree you gave away a win.

                  I mean I'm sure he will care a WHOLE a lot more if Whyte beats Fury....There had been some rumors that TR was out on Conlan from the start. They had early plans of matching him up with Stevenson for a potential big fight down the line but one guy just ended up developing far quicker in Stevenson and it became clear that was going to be a big mismatch. They still had hopes of matching Navarette with Conlan if Conlan would have beat Wood. Oh well........
