Shh he was probably offered a nice amount for those 3 fights then add in once done top rank got only 2 fights that interest him so 5 fights in 2 years for a premium vs probably 3 fights in 2 yrs if signed to just top rank only. If he can land the Matias fight & win collect another belt the bid for those 2 fights would be more for it'll be truly undisputed. No one is taking Ryan Garcia lone focus of Rolly belt serious it would always be 2nd tier

Eddie was even surprised why Prograis picked him.
With Eddie he would be lining up washed up dudes like Hearn did to Conor Benn. That's probably what Prograis had in mind. Danger here is there's such thing as cherrypick gone wrong cases. Hence, it might be better to lose to an established fighter than a nobody. Which is why I don't see Haney, for instance, fighting 2nd tier fighters like Zepeda, Ortiz, Pitbull, etc. He'd rather lose to an established fighter, which makes sense.Comment

Top Rank froze Regis out several times. Arum wanted him to have no choice but to sign with him.
If I was Regis I wouldn’t sign with them just based on general principle.Comment
