      Welterweights are not going to fight this dude he is too big and brings too much Power. I think Welterweight Division trying to force him to move up by flat out ignoring him. Alexander to his credit is the only guy with the Balls to call him out and wants to fight him but Alexander is a guy that will fight anybody WIN OR LOSE

      So maybe jumping to Top Rank wouldn't be a bad thing since everybody at GBP and with Al Haymon wants nothing to do with this guy.

      Thurman vs Mayweather is not a PPV Worth fight RIGHT NOW as much as I like Thurman, he needs at least 1 or 2 Big Time Fights first, then I think the Buzz for that will start. Putting Thurman on a Mayweather Undercard would HELP! Stop Showcasing Broner and Showcase Thurman!

          This is what Haymon brought to boxing. You pay fighters $1 million for fighting cab drivers, what exactly would you expect? Of course, they would want $2-5 million for fighting legit opponents, which Showtime can't afford.

                  Who do you think manufactured oscar and floyd's undefeated records? top rank has developed the most fighters from beginning stages all the way to ppv star. That's why their match maker is in the hall of fame and Golden Boy who only has developed one star from beginning to ppv star (canelo) has a former taco vendor as their match maker.

                  you need to do your homework because that post is a straight up F-
                  Floyd didn't become a ppv star until he left top rank and creates the "money Mayweather" persona Bob arum refused to promote when he was signed to him.. Again, do your homework chump

                    He didn't really become a ppv "star" until DLH.

                    Gatti, Judah, Baldomir were all in the 300,000's.

                      Once again, until he created his image.... Point is Bob arum wanted to promote him as "pretty boy" where Mayweather wanted to be promoted to the hip-hop and streets market (this is why Mayweather is a genius) and it worked....

                      There was was a void in the "urban" market (to put it nicely) floyd saw it long time ago but Bob arum being closed minded didn't see it, he was wrong and has admit it
