Comments Thread For: Arum Sees Benavidez as Next Big Star, Eyes Ramirez Unification

[Clegg]

Before Benavidez fights Ramirez he has a tough fight on July 28th on Showtime vs Former Amateur sensation Matt Korobov, Korobov if he has anything left is a hard fight for anyone.

That fight is deader than Bob Fitzsimmons, not happening.

That fights not happening Benavidez already left showtime

If Benavidez was still with Sampson then Bob Arum wouldn't acknowledge his star power nor would he let Top Rank fighters get in the ring with him.

He's the biggest piece of **** in boxing.

kinda like how PBC won’t acknowledge Crawford and won’t let their welters near him right?

GYM will know the outcome of the Beterbiev situation before the end of the month (Beterbiev is likely staying with GYM), and Sampson Boxing is likely to take Arum to court for Benevidez as well (just signing a deal in 2017 makes the outcome pretty obvious).

Arum knows that he oversold himself to ESPN to get the current deal, is facing the reality of having owed content to fill without the fighter quality to do so, and he's now showing up with a suitcase of money, tryna to poach fighters from other promoters, no different than when Oscar De La Hoya tried to poach Manny Pacquiao with a suitcase of money, lol.

This is gonna be a hilarious summer.

Crawford only just moved up and hasn't even had a fight at 147 yet.

Stop trying to draw a false equivalency.

I doubt that fight happens. I doubt any fight happens for Benavidez for a while.

[Motorcity Cobra]

so benavidez left sampson?

According to Bob but not according to Sampson. He supposedly resigned with them late last year.

So it's probably inactivity time for David
