Haha yeah and people even claimed he only had Walters to keep him from Lomachenko. Some people are fans or boxers and promoters more than Boxing and it causes irrational views on others fighters and promoters. Bob's no angel but he's delivered good fights for Lomachenko and three, now four of them have had plenty of folks predicting a loss for him.
If you can’t see that Arum is mostly in in-house promoters than you haven’t been following the sport closely.

Of course he is but is he any more so than PBC? I don't think so. Like I said he's done two fights for Lomachenko back to back that the public demanded and most said neither would happen.
Agree. Now if the powers that be follow up the 2nd half of the year with Wilder/AJ, Spence/Thurman. Kov/Bivol, Gary Russel/Diaz and a quality Superfly card then this year will get boxing moving in the right direction.
Frankly, as MMA ratings are dropping, its the perfect time for boxing to put it's best foot forward.
I think Joshua-Wilder, Russell/Diaz and a great Superfly will happen but next to no chance of Kovalev-Bivol and Spence-Thurman but I think that will be balanced out by some gems we perhaps aren't talking about now.
