    you said arum won't feed ramirez to crawford because he won't let his mexican fighters fight blacks...ramirez obviously is not the a-side in this matchup right? so it doesn't matter if the mexican fighter is the a-side or not...he won't still let his mex fighters fight blacks accordind to your twisted logic so why are you bringing up this a-side ****? you're one weird fanboy bro

      Yes, his A-side Mexican fighters. His top fighters are
      Fury
      Crawford
      Lomachenko
      Ramirez
      Valdez

      Ramirez is only the B side to Crawford. Every other fighter he'll be the A-side against. Bob is not going to get an A-side Mexican to a black fighter. He never has & never will.

          Brook is shot and not a top opponent anymore, but Bud did say on Rogan something that made me thinks he wants out of Top Rank,wich i hope he'll do, you know how long he has till his contract's over?
          He flat out said him being with TR is a road block.

          I'm not 100% certain what his contract with TR looks like but TR / ESPN's deal runs to 2025. I'd HOPE Crawford wouldn't have signed a 7 year extension.

            lmao lmao lmao

            He fed Marquez to bradley. He fed Beltran to Crawford. He fed Benavidez to Crawford. He Fed Rios to Bradley. He fed Vargas to Bradley.

            He tried to make Valdez herring and Valdez turned it down. He can’t force the fight.

            Just like he tried to feed Margarito to Floyd. Promoters can’t force these fights.

            But to say he doesn’t feed them is laughable and a lie

              No fighter is signing a seven year extension, especially a 30+ year old lol.

              Probably ends sometime next year.

              But once again, if he doesn't want to leave TR or sign elsewhere, why should he? No fighter should ever be forced to sign with someone he doesn't want to sign with.

                Here's what's going to happen.

                Arum will give a PBC welterweight an offer. They'll decline the offer. Bob, knowing full well that they would decline his offer, will whine to the media and blame Haymon again.

                Then he'll use that as an excuse to have Crawford vs. Mean Machine, which was his plan all along he just had to make it seem like he was trying to get a top opponent, then tell the media that he had no other choice.

                    Kavaliauskas is rated #8 at WW by the RING and #10 by TBRB. A top-10 contender is a top opponent.
