Were you guys all born yesterday? Top Rank are happy as clams, guys.
Bob Arum never wanted to co-promote in the HBO era. He'd have a ****ing stroke every time HBO turned down one of his in-house showcases and asked for him to make a fight against a King or Duva or GBP fighter.
None of them are allowed to say it out loud, but Arum LOVES this new model where he has an output deal and doesn't co-promote. So does (did?) Haymon when he had the exclusives with Fox and Showtime. Hearn wanted to do the same thing but he didn't have the fighters, so all of a sudden he went from "We're putting you out of business" to begging to co-promote.
Arum isn't putting on million-selling PPV events these days, but he also isn't going feast-or-famine hoping HBO buys his ****ty fights. ESPN gave him a check and he can put any old **** on. He isn't splitting his PPV sales with HBO either.
All of these ****ing crooks are happy as can be that boxing is in a terrible place.
