Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Amazed With The Power of Nicholas Walters

[ShoulderRoll]

Ok, because matching two guys promoted by the same person in unusual? Arum matched Chavez with Martinez (who fans said he would never do) and Sergio is not Top Rank. This whole misconception about Top Rank only doing in-house fights is such BS. They've done more co-promoted fights than Golden Boy.

Anyway, sucks for Rigo because he could have been up next for Walters. Blame Caribe.

That's why I said "usually" not "always."

But I'm sure I don't have to list all the times that guys had to sign with TR before they could fight Pac.

I dont trust Rob Arum dont understand why any fighter would Al Haymon seems to be getting his fighters more money everyone complains that Rob Arum underpays...Al Haymon fighters get bigger purses.

Walters is on those U. Bolt PEDs until proven otherwise... No random blood testing for this fight?

[Firefist]

Why would Bob be thinking about Hamed?

"I've never seen a featherweight with as much power as Walters."

Did you read the article?

Lomachenko vs. Walters would be an instant featherweight classic of this era. I can't wait.

I was going to ask how come Arum put Nonito in a fight with this guy, now it makes sense he is a Top rank fighter.

He signed him a while ago. Arum wouldn't have put him in if he didn't think he could beat Nonito.

walters v gonzales next?! doubt it although it wont be because the fighters themselves wont do it. arum won't do it.

walters v lomachenko? don't know whether arum will risk that either.

Whats your point? When was the last time Mayweather fought somebody that was not with Golden Boy? My point is, Bob isn't doing anything new that anyone else hasn't done or did. But everyone wants to point out what Bob does even though its no different than any other snake promoter out there.

they said arum wouldn't risk donaire vs rigo, he did.

they said arum would never risk chavez vs martinez, he did.

if the money is right, it will happen.

Just speculating here, but I think top Rank got lucky signing him. I'm under the impression they thought he was just another club fighter with a padded record they could feed to Donaire or Loma or Gradovich. I remember 2 years ago, Walters was an interim champ high KO pct and undefeated, he wasn't even part of discussions of fantasy super 6s at 126 on NSB. Sometimes if you luck your way into signing a great fighter you gotta call an audible. I'm waiting for the Jamaican homecoming card Top rank has in store.

That's why he's a better promoter for fans than Haymon. Haymon gets these fighters to sign under the promise of money for easy work, Arum's gonna put on good fights and have the winner move up, while often forgetting about the loser. It's worse for fighters but better for fans, and IMO any sport should be driven by fans first.
