Why dont boxers get traded?

[New England]

Like athletes in other sports?

I read an article recently and the UFC traded some MMArtists to other promotions and it looks like they're all better off.

contracts are bought out. that's basically a trade.

but usually a promotor doesn't want to relinquish the right to promote an asset he invested into,.

How many PBC fighters would Al have to give away to acquire Crawford from Arum??

I'm not sure trading makes sense in boxing like it does in other sports, but I made a thread about boxing trades a few days ago cuz its an interesting concept I agree.

I DO THINK boxing promoters could work together better in the US like they seem to do more often in the UK. I feel like the UK promoters look out for the greater good of their fighters more often then US promoters do. US promoters are stingy with their fighters. So if US promoters would say hey let this guy come over to my platform & I'll let this other guy to come over to your platform to give the fans the fight they wanna see & the fighters the opportunity & money they want that would seem doable without actually trading fighters for good.

That's exactly how I see it. Take someone like Zurdo Ramirez. Arum has no1 for him unless we see Zurdo vs Hart fight 3+ times. Ramirez to another promoter for 2 or 3 featherweights from GBP or PBC would likely play/pay out well for everyone.

Benavidez (the older 1) and the Charlos for Crawford.

Maybe they should split the divisions among the networks to force guys to fight each other.
