Why is arum feeding his guys to Ruslan?

[HanzGruber]

Ruslan isn't with top rank but he's fought two of arums most important fighters already and both were champs. What is he doing

[285Kid]

Arum and Ruslan promoter have a 30 year friendship

Who promotes for Ruslan?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Not sure,, good question,,

I think arum may have some options or co-promotion rights with ruslan,, like 25% or something like that,,, That is a fairly common happening between huge promoters and smaller ones,,,,

Anther thing to take into consideration, is that TR is very low on depth on their roster,, they have alot of young guys with 12 or less fights but ready to main event type guys are sorely lacking,, manny, jmm, bradley, alvardo, rios, are his only names around that weight class,,

I want to see if he makes the jmm vs ruslan fight at 140 for the belt,,,,,

Good point OP...

Also Freddie the joke coach Roach was ****** for having Pac spar with him..

[Warrios]

Arum loves provodnikov and he has a good relationship with k2, he doesn't care about that other sht. The guy puts on good shows and tr will continue to match him with their guys. Next up, Rios vs Provodnikov, or he gets a rematch with Bradley, which he deserves.

He doesn't care about what? Someone beating up his guys? Lol he does since he hasn't worked with gbp in years

The issue with gb is personal and it's deeper than fights like margarito losing to Mosley. Cmon man catch up. I don't think he cares about his guys losing to ruslan as much as u think. You forget that it was Arum who said he wants bradley vs ruslan to hbo and it was again his choice to make alvarado-prov. And now he's talking prov-pac/rios. Prov provides entertainment and again, he has a great ongoing relationship with his promoter. Besides, he's still making money off these fights.

You're over dramatizing what arum sees as just good fcking fights.

[Hougigo]

Probably didn't do that on purpose, but if he did, it was to set up future fights. Arum most likely has options on Ruslan after the Bradley fight.
Ruslan now in position to fight Pac or Bradley on PPV, that destruction works in favor of either man

[New England]

he's an exciting fighter with a relatively light billing.

don't forget, ruslan fought on espn for several years. those main events split 10-20 grand. that's not a lot of money at at all. if you don't do that several times a year you need a day job.

provodnikov had a day job, essentially, as a sparring partner of manny pacquiao.
