    The difference being that Schaefer wouldn't have even indulged the idea of meeting with Arum. Now that he's gone, they know they both have guys that when combined can make some big PPV fights and money for both.

        Cotto vs Canelo

        Chavez vs Canelo

        GGG vs Canelo

        There are a few combinations that can be made, and then you have the smaller scale fights between guys like Mares, Donaire, LSC, and the dozens of WW fights that could be made.

          Exactly. Hoya doesn't even need Arum, but Haymon is not cooperating with Hoya. Haymon would rather make his named fighters fight TBAs.

          This so-called cold war is nonsense. Most of the big names in boxing are in Espinoza/Haymon's backyard. Unfortunately, they're not fighting each other.

          Espinoza-Haymon team is the real scourge in boxing today.

            Chavez wants out, Cotto works with him but i thouhgt he was free agent, and GGG not TR and on GBP its pretty much Canelo.

            The smaller fights i can see and would love for some to happen.

              Unfortunately there are still two other people in the way, Espinoza the clown and Haymon. Hopefully these big fights get made on HBO so they don't have to deal with Espinoza.
              Not exactly true he and arum went back and forth in the feud, ODLH just wants to end it. Arum for the most part has been the most vocal antagonist in the feud between the two. It seems that ODLH had or is trying to break the ice where as arum was not willing to budge.

              So basically ODLH had to kiss ass. I believe this is the second meeting. so i am not sure why no co promotion have not yet taken place between TR and GBP

                I don't know GGG's situation, I just know I see Arum in the ring when he fights and Top Rank banners everywhere. Plus Arum's always praising and prancing around GGG.

                Didn't Cotto signed a contract with Top Rank, not long term though? I thought I read that somewhere.

                As far as Chavez, it does seem as though he wants out but he needs a fight soon and they're working on something. I doubt he wants to be in legal trouble and sit on the sidelines like Ward is.

                The larger scale fights are nice, but I like the WW and Jr WW fights that can be made among TR/GB fighters the most.

                      LOL @ this article. Been a long time now since Richard has been gone and GBP and TR was gonna save boxing and do whats best for the fans and make the fights the fans wanna see..... hmmm still nothing... Well it must be Haymon fault or Espinoza yea thats it... those guys are stopping everything... turn in a circle and point your finger eventually you will find the reason **** is not happening. Till then.. enjoy mayweather vs maidana 2 a ****ing joke and pac vs various sparing partners
