Jean Pascal signs Promotional deal with Gym AND Interbox

[deanrw]

He just signed with both promotional houses. It appears he did it to keep his options open. I think it was a great idea since Gym has aligned with Showtime. He can still fight with Interbox(Bute's Promoter) on HBO also.

I looks like he has taken charge of his career. He can choose whoever he wants to promote each fight.

SNart move by Pascal IMO. This allows him to negoatiate a higher purse by playing sho and HBO against each other. Also allows him to negotiate with ESPN should they get more involved.

I don't know why the "and" part confused me with two promoters there.

Like Andrade is signed with Star and Banner.... doesn't make much sense where he's at, but if it's like what you said, it's good.
No Bute rematch please

I would think it would be because Pascal wanted a bunch of money, and while he is probably worth it those two teaming up makes sense to spread the risk around, plus interbox probably has some extra money to be spending.

It is kind of interesting, but they seem to have a decent working relationship in and around Montreal. To me it might have made more sense would have been to include one of the American mid tier promoters to bring a different area of expertise but then again they are Canadians who have a lot of experience working with American tv so they probably don't need that.

If he can jump from Sho to HBO, that's fine. Showtime has most the LHW's that matter and HBO is devoid of them. Only one is Kovalev and I don't want to see Seanie Monaghan on there
