    If it can't, why support the impediment ?

    If Arum won't let his fighters participate, so be it.

    Bradley admitted he likely won't get an opportunity to fight the best.....
    WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley was always a big admirer of the fighting style of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather (49-0, 26KOs) retired last month after dominating Andre Berto over twelve rounds. He was recognized as the pound-for-pound king of boxing and conquered world titles in five weight divisions.


    Fair point, I'm just sick of Arum denying the fans so that he can profit.
    I guess you forgot Arum worked with GBP/Haymon before they got Floyd back.

    Once Floyd returned it was Haymon who stopped working with top rank, not the other way around.

    Matter of fact, arum works with everyone, it wasn't until Haymon showed up that these cold wars began.

      I have it completely the other way around.

      Haymon will work with everyone, including Top Rank.

      But not only will Top Rank not work with Haymon, they will only work with other promoters when they have no other options, old in-house Bob prefers doing it his way..... and for his top guys, you have to sign with Top Rank and/or give Bob options..... like Mosley/Marquez/Bradley were forced to do.

        What an awesome tournament this turned out to be!!!


        So really what they did was just skip the tournament altogether, take an existing fight and make it for a vacant belt and then make Khan mandatory - essentially they just wanted to make Garcia vs Khan II. What a jip
