Comments Thread For: Prograis Says He Didn't Feel Top Rank Would Guarantee Fights with Ramirez, Lopez, Taylor

[_original_]

Big Regis fan but what a bonehead decision. Reminds me of Bud resigning with Top Rank instead of PBC where all the competition was/is at. Regis will waste away fighting B level guys. Best we can hope for us uni with the dangerous Matias.

Teo leaving TR won't mean anything to Prograis' fight prospects.
Lopez is still mad at Hearn/DAZN for allegedly orchestrating Kamboso's victory.
Teo will give Hearn hell in whatever negotiations Eddie will offer for him.

What I meant was Regis going to TR might not get him the fight because he hint that he is leaving and there is no saying where he will wind up.

He should have signed with "x" . He should have signed with "y" ...!! This is what boxing has become. TRASH. Each org is a fiefdom in its own right. No wonder good fights do not happen. In the meantime lets keep blaming the fighters.

Top rank wouldn't have offered him a contract for more money, if they didn't wanna match him with their guys.

Agreed. Top rank will. But Ramirez and his manager, are a different story. Just my opinion. I may be proven wrong. And definitely hope I am. I've been wanting to see Prograis Vs Ramirez for a long time.

Prograis is not smart enough to double talk anyone..

He’s a simple southern checkers player, his arse isn’t out here playing chess.

Just say you wanted to easy fights & pay as you stated before.. geez good riddance.. he’ll be begging Ryan for a payday when his DAZN deal is almost up

Sad but true - well said

If you're at top rank in a divison filled with top rank fighters, you will get the fights.

Top rank history shows that.

What? 5 years from now when he is in his twilight years? Also, who are any of us to say one way or another? You don’t think he gets a sense that they aren’t moving on fights when he is directly in the business? You don’t think there were immediate talks on dates if he were to sign and when those dates would be? Apparently not quick enough and that’s maybe why he pulled? Folks seem to think a fighter such as Prograis is too inept to ask the right questions about their future under a banner prior to signing and just dismiss them outright without actually being directly involved.

Top Rank/ESPN offers more money than DAZN/Hearn now.
Eddie himself was surprised to learn Ramirez made that much money
when he was offering Jose for the Conor Benn fight, which is why
the fight never materialized.

All Eddie got now is sweet talk.

Prograis VS Mathias has FOTY potential.

You must be new to boxing. Top rank match there guys up immediately unless they have a duck in the stable. They don't wait 5 years for no in-house fights.

You just seen Loma, Teo, Kambosos, and Haney all get a shot and Shakur is next. Even commey, ortiz and nakatiani get thrown in the mix.

You must have missed the pacquiao,cotto, clottey, Margarito era at top rank.

Thats what top rank does when they control a divison. They mix and match their guys everytime

regis didn't sign because he doesn't feel Teo or ramirez will fight him. And taylor is gonna move up after Teo. He was gonna be stuck with Haney at 140 only. So he chose dazn.

Now he won't get any of those fights. And he has to hope Ryan wants to fight for a actual title. That's all dazn has to offer him.

he said top rank offered 5 fights and dazn offered 3 fights. He took the shorter deal and that's fine. But we don't wanna hear him mention no fighter from top rank over the next 3 fights.

Why!?! Phuking why why why do I have to answer this phuking ****** a s s question every GD time some dumb a s s makes the comment. It’s like the “go to” for those too simple minded to have an intelligent discussion. For the GD last time, NO IM NOT NEW TO BOXING. I’ve been watching since 79. So come with something else. FFS!
