What he means is that he cant wait for pedraza to fight other top rank fighters

Mismatches after mismatches, then have him grab a vacant WBO belt (Top Rank belt) against a nobody, and finally feed him to a better, more marketable prospect/contender or world champion moving up in weight -from the Top Rank roster of course-
Pedraza about to become the new Rocky Martinez.

Merry Go Around Fight.

All you Top Rank haters would get more respect if you just stated "you hate Top Rank no matter what they do!" All the Top Rank criticism seems to be the same criticism you turn a blind eye to when its done by Haymon, Golden Boy etc. Haymon struggles to get his top fighters to face each with guys fighting barely once a year! No one has more TBA's or mismatches than Haymon boxing cards! All promoters do mostly in house fights because that's how the maximize their profits. It's not just Top Rank!

He'll probably end up a Lomachenko opponent at some point

Isn’t that what PBC does? While Lomachenko fought a Roc Nation fighter like Rigo last fight and a GBP guy like libares next. Crawford fought a Matchroom guy in Indongo last fight and his two fights Prior were Haymon fighters Felix Diaz and John Molina. Gilberto Ramirez just fought a guy promoted out of South Africa and same for Ray Beltrans opponent. Jerson Ancajas fought a guy outside of Top Rank.

Then this Saturday you have a tripleheader on Showtime with PBC versus PBC in Wilder Ortiz and Charlo vs centeno (now pushed back to April) and Dirrell can Uzcategui.

So out of the 6 fighters on the broadcast 5 were PBC with Uzcategui the exception and he only got the fight because he’s the mandatory. But u don’t say nothing about the constant PBC in house fights. Smh.

Hater knows Pedraza got talent TOP RANK knows how to promote good for PEDRAZA!

Arum has done well with that PR audience with Cotto & JuanMa. Idk if Pedraza is as good as those guys doe & I'd bet on that being the case. So idk if Arum can capitalize quite as much with Pedraza as he did on other PR cats.

Respect to Arum going shopping lately. Should be a lil more interesting to watch these ESPN cards with some of these names being added that are ready for bigger challenges vs the guys still on the comeup with TR like Conlan & Stevenson.
