Is Bob gonna let Jose Ramirez cross the street?

[Floyd is TBE]

Bob Arum is never expected to reach across the aisle. It's always the other side's fault

[Stinger1]

If its a big offer that Ramirez wants to take and Bob won't let him then it's going to end one way.

Ramirez is the A side. Why would he cross the street? Dude has a pretty big fan base.

Because Arum is doing exactly what he said PBC was doing this weekend. Only difference is Spence actually has some good fights lined up while Ramirez doesn't until the winner of the WBSS. And it's a unification.

But in reality if i were Bob I wouldn't send one of top my fighters to that app nobody is watching either. It does nothing for Ramirez to unify a belt when more people will be watching on in the arena than on the app.

Bob should let Ramirez fight Hooker. I have no doubt Ramirez would beat Hooker.

Ramirez vs. Hooker in Fresno on DAZN in July sounds good to me.

[Mister Wolf]

Do you think he believes Lomachenko would beat Gervonta?

Not sure I think if he had the same kind of confidence in Loma as he does with Crawford he would be calling for it saying he is willing to make a deal.

Nah, it has nothing to do with confidence. And he would have more confidence in Lomachenko beating Davis than the other way around. The one difference is, Lomachenko has other options while Crawford doesn't. And Crawford's team is putting pressure to Arum/TR to make the big fights with the PBC fighters. For Lomachenko, he could make the Campbell/Lopez/Commey fights. What does he have for Crawford? Brook? Collazo? Mean Machine? Big difference there.

Wrong! Bob knows Loma would beat Tank. He'd favor Loma over any of the top 130/135 and even some 140. Yet he won't send Loma off ESPN.

The difference is he's trying to make money off Crawford and he can't do that without PBC welters. And even though he knows that he's still not sending Crawford over there. He's talking about a 50/50 joint PPV. So he won't send Crawford over there either. It's all about the money. Not his confidence in his fighters. And from a business perspective that's not a bad thing.

Yep, has nothing to do with confidence. Arum wants things done on his terms and he's fight with any fight taking place. Again, not uncommon from others, but just not what he portrays to the media either.

He is the A side and DAZN is the money side. DAZN's budget is 200+ million. ESPN's is 100million.
