        Looking forward to seeing Crawford vs the two Garcias, Danny and Mikey. Let's see if they'll still continue to mention each other's names now that network issues can no longer be used as excuses not to fight.

          Arum has already announced it's going to be a Top Rank PPV.

            Seems like this has been a long time coming with Peter Nelson's & Bob Arum's relationship.

              They might just be waiting out Al Haymon and PBC.

              If that venture goes belly up then HBO will be in a prime position to sign up the top fighters afterwards, since they have been saving their money while everyone else is spending like crazy.

                    Pretty sure the split has been in the works for months now.
