    Fair, but Arum doesnt want any part of this fight now (which has been mandated). Hell I rather it happen on ESPN/ESPN+ since itll be cheaper

      every fighter takes cherrys in between tough fights...on any platform

      he has put thurman, garcia and porter all in against each other....hes about to put two top 10 p4p unbeatens against each other ...and he will make more good WW fights going forward once thurman gets back into the swing and mikey/spence gets a winner

      if he had more talent in the MW division the charlos would be getting tougher matchups...he just doesnt have many great fight for them at the moment...

      he put swift and lara up against each other

      you are delusional and just plain hating on al if you dont believe hes made good fights...hes made better fights than oscar and bob have over the last 5 years plain and simple...to deny it is to just plain hate

      tell me about crawford...who has he fought thats a great matchup? even their plans for crawford first big event kinda stink...khan was **** on years ago around here

        Well it's not just Bob Arum. Every promoter does it, it's just Bob Arum today. This sport is broken.

          At least Wilder is still willing to pursue the rematch and his team says they won't have a problem doing a joint Showtime/ESPN ppv.

          So there is still hope.

            Sending up prayers they come to their senses and do this. Its best for both sides and TR and PBC could put on a very nice undercard and promotion. That said, because it makes sense and this is boxing, it wont happen

              why do people care about this fight? they fought and fury won. lets move on. lets not waste time with pointless rematches so wilder can get his "win" through political means canelo style. just move on and go their own ways.

                Wilder says he still wants the Fury fight. And that the network the fight happens on won't be a deal breaker on his end.

                So if the rematch doesn't happen it won't be because of Deontay.

                    what has arum done lately and what has he done for crawford?
                    Hahahahaha! It took Wilder 40 fights to finally fight a real opponent.

                    Are you really saying Spence/Mikey is a good fight? Yet you call GGG/Brook a horrible mismatch?
