        By him fighting or him negotiating?
        Top Rank doesn't have any LHW to even begin ending it... only two I remember are Mike Lee and Seanny Monghahen

          At 175/168 it's more about the cold war between HBO and Golden Boy.

            Really. The only thing I can think of here is to cancel your entire HBO and ShowTime subscriptions.

            But from 154 and up, the Cold War doesn't bother me. 147 and below is where its really hurting the sport.

              Overall, "the cold war" has actually been good for the sport. 2013 has been the best year of boxing that I can remember.

              They're putting on good match-ups in order to compete with one another. Sure, some fights can't be made but that was always the case.

                    Well the two on HBO would love to fight him
