    Fighters who need to change promoter/manager/network.

    Not saying any of these will actually happen but here goes nothing...

    -Terence Crawford to PBC. Bob has done a fantastic job with Crawford but TR has no big name Welterweights on its roster. If Crawford went to PBC he could mix it with Spence, Thurman, Porter, Pacquiao, Garcia, Broner etc.

    -Callum Smith to PBC/ITV. Hearn has no options for Smith and his career is stagnating. Under PBC he could mix it with other Champions and top guys like Plant, Dirrell, Benavidez and there also a lucrative domestic clash with Eubank Jr.

    -Billy Joe Saunders to DAZN/Hearn or GBP. Saunders career has gone massively backwards recently, if he signed with DAZN he’d have much better options: Canelo, GGG, Jacobs, Andrade.

    -Dmitry Bivol to ESPN/TR, can’t believe he didn’t sign with them to begin with as all the other Champions are there. Instead of facing Joe Smith Jr, Bivol could be fighting Kovalev, Beterbiev, Gvodzyk, Ramirez etc.

    What other fighters do you think would benefit from moving networks/promotional teams?
    (No HW’s though, I don’t want this to become another tedious Fury/Wilder/AJ debate)

    I disagree with you about Smith and Bivol. There's no reason why they couldn't just fight each other.

      And what do they do after that?
      There’s no options between 168-175 on DAZN

      That fight clearly isn’t happening anytime soon as well.

        You are just looking at the situation now. In a year or two these divisions will have changed. Kovalev and Beterbiev are both pretty old. Guys like Sims Jr and Buatsi will be ready to challenge for titles. Just be patient.

          Jermall Charlo to DAZN with the other top MWs

          Berchelt to the PBC to get the Davis showdown

          Munguia to the PBC (Until he moves up to MW)

          Browne to ESPN with majority of the other top LHWs

            Please...😂
            Buatsi isn’t even British Champion and Sims Jr is still fighting journeymen. Smith hasn’t got time to be patient, he needs to capitalise on his momentum but Hearn clearly has no options for him.

              Charlo is a good shout forgot about him.

              Munguia is waiting for a Canelo payday IMO.

                Don't laugh, Buatsi is already #5 in the WBA, he will be challenging for a world title in 2020 I guarantee you. He's clearly the best young LHW in the world.

                  Berchelt will be fighting Lomachenko soon. No need to go to PBC.

                    Beterbiev for sure though some idiot judge thinks Michel is doing right by Artur.
