Wow Al Haymond with such huge stable cant produce high quality fights. Al hoymond made boxing worst, he should let the fighter stay with golden boy. All he did was loose investors money.

Top Rank is no longer the house promoter for HBO Boxing, and Bob Arum, knowing that he no longer has hold of regular TV, is flailing about, hoping that someone with TV will actually give him TV.

All of this talk, of "wanting to work together" is coming from Arum, and only Arum. Espinoza isn't talking about Top Rank, no fighters with Haymon are talking about Top Rank, and no TV broadcaster is talking about Top Rank.

Don't kid yourself

Arum is in bad place now,he need a deal and he have some figghters who would give good matchups on showtime so maybe Espinoza will hug him.

Too late in his career. Bradley is as good as done.

The only fighters that Arum has who may be worth anything to Showtime are Lomachenko (@130/126), Gilberto Ramirez (@168, to continue on with what they're doing with Jack/Degale/Bute/Callum Smith/etc) and Felix Verdejo (to line up a meaningful fight for Jose Pedraza @130/135).

No one else under the banner, that I can see, is worth the trouble of working with Arum. And I doubt that Arum offers any of those three fighters.
