          Unfortunately, he still has a foot in the door, Terrence Crawford. TC might be around for awhile too so unfortunately Bob will be hangn around as well. Bob really lost his choke hold on HBO though now that Pac lost to Floyd. Bobs stable will only get thinner for now seeing as Pac was a HUGE bargaining chip to sign fighters.

          He can build TC up into an attraction but its gonna be hard seeing as Haymon has the bulk of the names around 140. Thr less leverage Bob has in this sport the better. Its only a matter of time before he starts short changing TC...Bob will be Bob and ultimately TC will leave TR.

          And he has nobody to blame but himself. With his in house fights, he gripes and sues when the competition plays by the same rules but doesnt include him.

            im conflicted, I want to see gonzales fight a live body but I understand Gonzales is about making moves forward not backward, he needs full exposure and HBO can give him that, a minor PPV wont do that for him.

              Nah, TR has lots of young talent. Crawford & Lomachenko are proven young stars. Crawford will be moving up to 147 shortly. Walters might be special at 130/135. Andy Ruiz looks to finally have his **** in order. Gilberto Rameriz & Jessie Hart look to be decent SMW's, and Rameriz will eventually draw a crowd. Verdejo looks the goods and Valdez will atleast be a top contender, maybe a star.

              TR's in secure shape with all their young talent, that's why HBO gave them that lucrative truTV deal to develop those young guys.

                  Jesus Christ...! Roman IS the Lineal and Ring Magazine Champion AND... WBC Champion, P4P#2 by Ring Magazine list.. He is a KO artist like GGG but with better resume and more skilled not to mention a 3 weight division champ so all the "Hype" you think he has is well deserved as nobody can stop him at his weight and in time will become a 4th division champ(dont know if he becomes a 5th as he is kind of small)
