    Please explain..... Arum is willing to work with any promoter and he gs proved that time and again. Haymon is the one who blocks the good fights

      Top rank works with every promoter in boxing. He even worked with 50 cent after he stole gamboa away from top rank. He made the fight with Crawford when no other promoter wanted to work with 50. Also on the time Bradley vs Diego Chavez card, every fight featured a top rank fighter vs a fighter from other promotions. So this myth of top rank keeping everything in house is false. He keeps it in house if there are good in house fights but that's about it.

      He was even trying to match Chavez Jr against ggg which Chavez ducked. He offered the coward 7 million and then 10 million his next fight lol he is such a punk that's why he had to go be protected by haymon. My point Is nobody wants to work with ggg and arum was willing to put one of his top ppv stars against him and pay him big money for it.
      Matthysse isn't a Haymon guy. Neither is Kell Brook. Why will he skip right past those guys?

          Manny holds a WW title and every top WW is calling Manny out if he fights JW Vargas its the biggest duck of his own division by a title holder in history .

            He knows, yet you may have to "please explain" again.

                Or I should have asked, when is his GBP contract up?

                  1 fight. 4 guys for 1 more fight (or contract year) if I read correctly. Oscar would have been better off not fighting it. He would have lost his brand, but he is still relevant enough where he could have rebranded, even come out of retirement for a fight or two. Crush a can, fight Canelo at 154.

                  Now what's he got? Schaefer failed in his fiduciary duty. There's a lawsuit Oscar can come out ahead in.

                    As long as Oscar has some say in who they fight in that final bout, make it happen. I suspect that Hymen still has the final say though and will surely deny a Pac bout for any of those dudes.
