Looks like they're going to fight after all! Could be a good scrap!

I think I'll probably go to it!

Says who??

Heavyweight boxing writer Dan Rafael!

Apparently Murata didn't want to vacate his title and Brant would have made peanuts fighting for the vacant title compared to what he'll make fighting Murata, so they came to an agreement!

Arum's a sly old dog.

Threatening to walk backed Brant's team into a corner. Cohen Promotions probably doesn't have the money to risk being the lead promoter of a world title fight, especially with no TV money.... if Brant loses it's their ass.

Nice. Much better than Murata/Quigley and Brant vs some bum. Good on Murata for not backing down to Arum and forcing this fight

Cohen fights on Showbox a lot and CBS Sports (though I haven't seen boxing on their in a while.)

I wonder if Oscar could still line something up for Quigley

Apparently Murata won't be the only gold medal winner on the card, Fazliddin Gaibnazarov has been added to it according to this http://www.asianboxing.info/asian-ne...n-october-20th
