    But none of them can leave, or enter into any other agreement unless Al gives them written permission to do so.

    Something's got to give. Hopefully it's the crappy matchmaking.
    He'll do just fine; as long as his fighters perform well and want to fight, they'll get opportunities. Just look at Austin Trout.

    He got the Cotto opportunity, got the Canelo opportunity, and then got the Lara opportunity before needing to rebuild a bit. Two fights on ESPN and Trout's now likely a fight away from getting another big fight.

    You then consider that most fighters, who are beyond the prospect stage of their careers, don't have more than 2-3 fights each year and there's even less concern. As long as the fights are good, even fighters who lose will get return shots.
