Comments Thread For: David Benavidez - Legal War Looms Between Sampson, Top Rank

[killakali]

Top Rank desperarely needs fighters for those dates.

They are paying more money too. Why do u think Mikey hasn’t signed for Easter?
Or better yet why is he working with Haymon on a fight by fight basis and doesn’t have a contract?

Damn top rank taking over bye bye pbc.

Hart has already fought twice this year and is back in August while they got zurdo a title and he will have fought twice this year with his fight in June. Benavidez only got two fights last year. Clearly he’s making the move for money and more activity. Top rank has 30 cards a year between Espn and the app.

Fighting Hart and Zurdo, toe fighters in their prime is a lot better than a washed dirrell and a never has been Korobov

Who did Hart fight? Nobodies.

None of this makes any sense. If David just renewed his contract 6 months ago he would damn well know if he was still under contract.

If this ends up shelving him it is his own fault.

David Benavidez is becoming more and more popular and I Sampson has done right by him thus far in his career. He's got the potential to be a superstar.

Why Sampson would let him go after he apparently signed back late last year makes absolutely no sense for there company. Top Rank better watch themselves with this one.

Bob Arum was talking mad ***** about Canelo and Golden Boy when they went to court with All Star Boxing. Hopefully they are prepared for the blow back.

Hart almost beat Zurdo Ramirez. SMH. Thats better than getting knocked out cold at middleweight like Korobov then became inactive after Top Rank gave him 3 comeback fights and Korobov asked for and got his release. I would have thought he would have had a plan if he asked for his release but I guess not.

Dirrell has been washed and hadn't done much more than Hart

Jesse Hart just fought Thomas Awimbono and Desmond Nicholson. Zurdo just fought Habib Ahmed and is fighting Roamer Alexis Angulo. Is that better than Korobov and Dirrell?

Because he wants to sign to Top Rank again, duh!

[Pigeons]

Must have gotten more money from TR.

No question, Benavidez did Sampson dirty. Dude, believe in Benavidez when he was a chubby 18 yr old kid and no one wanted to sign him. Under Sampson he became the youngest 168 lbs champ in history just ain’t right. F**k Bob, doing other promoters wrong will comeback and bite him sooner rather than later
