    Okay, now this I could dig. Let's see if Hooker can even beat the mid-tier WWs PBC has before throwing him in with the top fighters.

          Hooker can be hurt. Could see Lopez stopping him.

                  Lopez is a good opponent for Hooker's first at 147. If he can stop Lopez then it will be a better performance than Thurman who turned into a runner after Lopez hurt him.

                    DAZN paid this guy like four million to fight Ramirez in a fight that generated NO buzz at all and had a gate of less than 250k. Losing guys like Hooker isn't necessarily a bad thing for them.
                    He is a good pick up for PBC. They have a lot of guy's at 147 so it's a good move for Hooker.

                      Andrade is at least around the weight classes where DAZN is loaded at. It makes more sense to keep him then someone like Hooker who really doesn't have many options at 147.

                      The real question is what happens with young studs like Haney? Does he stay there for much longer or does he go elsewhere when his deal expires?
