Bob is just pointing out the obvious. Unless they can figure out a way to please ESPN and Showtime the fight won't happen.

Maybe they'll just never fight each other. PBC, Top Rank and DAZN will all have their own heavyweight champion.

But somehow Haymon and PBC will get the blame like always.
Everyone knows the Arum is the anti-fan promoter. He never makes the big fights happen, in fact he destroys them.
Hearn, Haymon, and Golden Boy are the ones who are delivering the big fights.

Is he supposed to pass up making money so someone else can make money? I want to see the best fights too but for some reason, people think the solution is to create a monopoly instead of having people actually working together.
If the fight doesn't happen, it's because Arum AND Haymon didn't work together. Not that it's Arum's fault because he signed Fury.
The competition in sports allow fighters to get good deals and better treatment, but not the events fans want. The NBA getting a monopoly on basketball was good for the fans.
The UFC getting a monopoly on MMA was good for fans. We didn't have to cry for Brock Lesnar vs Fedor type fights anymore, or the NBA champs vs the ABA champs.
