    I actually don't mind their fights with their mandatories. Those should be better than the fights they have just had. However, I think I would like Ward-Stevenson, just so there would be an undisputed champion in the division. That fight should happen, but considering the level of opposition Stevenson has been feasting on, it's hard for me to really take him seriously as far as wanting to fight Ward or Jack. We'll see how it plays out though.

      So that's why Alvarez pulled out the Jack fight for the MayvsMc undercard. He didn't want to lose that mandatory spot.

        That's what I'm saying. It ain't like the mandatory's are bums. Anyway you n mix and match Stevenson, Jack, Bivol, Alvarez is a good card.

          So?
          Aren't you the same poster trashing Arum when things don't happen between TR and PBC/Showtime? As in the case of Crawford calling out Thurman?
          There's also Rigo, promoted by Roc, calling out a TR fighter and some non-Floyd fans suggested that Roc make the offer instead, but easily shut down because they're not the main promoter, and TR is?
          And here you are making excuses for 2 promoters that are not even rivals in any sense.
          Dawg, why don't you just admit it's extremely uncomfortable bashing your heroes? Yet it's so easy when it comes to TR, GBP, HBO...

            And again Kovalev is the one who pulled out of the purse bid against Stevenson
            If that ain't ducking what is?

              In Arum's 50 year career name five 50/50 fights he's made outside the top rank stable that wasn't required by a mandatory.

              He's been in the game a long time you should be able to come up with this answer quick

                  In your personal opinion, what is more important seeing fights where fighters want to fight each other or forced to fight their mandatories?
                  Here both fighters want the fight. Fans want the fight.
                  What exactly are you objecting about?
                  Who are you protecting?

                    I'm not objecting to the fight. But both have mandatory obligations. And their mandatory fights aren't against bums either. They're against legit contenders. A Jack-Bivol & Stevenson-Alvarez card is a solid card. Four of the top 10 LHW's on the same card. And the two winners face each other. What are you objecting to?
