Takam is washed up but still a decent name to add to the resume. He is always in shape & should give Big Mak some rounds. Smart move signing with Top Rank. Now can get more exposure on TV in the US. He still gets his Canadian slots too.

Eye of the Tiger was doing a good job, but with TR now in the fold, Makhmudov is about to be "put on"!

News in Montreal say the deal is an overall deal for EOTTM joining its force with Top Rank to promote his best fighters ...This is valid for Bazinyan, Mbilli and Clayton as well.... Not only for Makhmudov...

A fighter shouldn't need multiple promoters.

This is Arum's way of trying to gain a monopoly on the sport.

Good move by Makhmudov. He’s 33, and he’s a scary enough guy that he has to work his way into a mandatory to get a title shot, which will take a few years, so it’s time to get moving.

That’s not how it works .

This is great news for us we will finally see Mahkmudov in action .

Eye Of The Tiger is a Canadian promotion outfit so it was a no brainer he had to get one of the biggest promotions to get seen and he’s nearing mandatory elimination bout status in 2023 after some big fights get out of the way people are goin* to want to know who he is .

Its hardly new, or uncommon, for a foreign born boxer with a promoter based outside the US to also have a US-based promoter.
