Arum's leaving out how TR won a $1.2mill purse bid to have Golovkin fight Mundine in Australia back in March 2010.


Golovkin also met with Richard Schaeffer, who nearly signed GGG before Universum threatened legal action. Ironically by the time GGG signed with K2, GB bought Universum.

Top Rank also could have signed Usyk. They were in deep talks in summer 2013, but Usyk has choosen K2 because they offered him better contract. I think GGG situation was similar - Arum was simply too greedy.

[Motorcity Cobra]

He didn't sign him because Golovkin isn't Mexican

[Motorcity Cobra]

His resume would be a lot better with Bob. Bob isn't afraid to take chances. He'll even lose money on a fight because he's using that fight to set up a bigger fight

He made the better choice with lomachenko....he's not a f'n pu$$yhole like triple fachina is.
