2 fights his fighters would easily win of course. what about when you dont have the best fighter? are you willing?

I have been saying that Arum will need to stop his in-house nonsense if he is going to keep Bud. Bud is a dog and he won't be satisfied only fighting Top Rank fighters. It is in everyone's best interest if they set aside their political problems and get the best in the ring against each other...

All networks. Even the idiots at HBO need to do this.

I believe those fights were mentioned as examples. It could be something like Ramirez vs. Khan on Showtime or maybe Andy Ruiz vs. Luis Ortiz on ESPN.

As opposed to what? Doing Ortiz against the club fighter he's facing tomorrow and Khan facing some welterweight ranked at 400 in the world for his comeback fight.
