Seems like Bob is hoping to do with this guy what he tried to do with Zou Shiming. I like that Top Rank is focused on international talent though.

Arum is the king of signing talented guys who'll never be big in the United States. Idk wtf he's thinking in recent years.

Hope he's about to sign some India TV deal or something with these last two signings cuz these mfers just gonna be as popular as these talented eastern euro guys have gotten that no one can pronounce there names still if they are reduced to US fights mostly.

Great, another weak ass defense for Zurdo coming up after Murdock gets that work too

Guy is already 33. Needs big fights asap or he will amount to nothing.

this guy has got some good amateur wins under his belt but that was 10 years ago and he only has ten fights so far?? he has been developed and promoted poorly from a boxing sense, maybe he should just make millions in Bollywood

The Asian market has been Bob's white whale for years now. Bob tried through Zhou Shiming, Ryoto Murata, and now Singh. Honestly I don't understand why other promoters are ignoring Asia. Imagine the dividends if you were to create a boxing star from China or India with their 1.3 billion plus population.

If he's gonna fight him in India fair play, but I feel like this guy will be like Conlan & fighting primarily in the US & idk why outside of thats where TR is based.

Conlan should be fighting in Ireland/the UK. These two India guys need to be fighting in India...more anyway I don't think the boxing business is fully airborne yet in India, but these two guys should be the John L Sullivan's of India professional boxing not in the US fighting for no one who cares.

Bob's a US promoter familiar with US boxing, it's only sense he will want to build his fighters in the infrastructure he knows. Plus none of these guys are spring chickens. Conlan is the youngest out of all them at 27, they need to be fast tracked here in America where they can get the most experience and title shots in the shortest amounts of time. And lastly I think Bob believes in the Hollywood-esque storyline 'the son leaves home and returns a champion' angle.
