But historically they match up their fighters against one another and they have that luxury by having that deep stable.
Garcia-Porter-Thurman have all fought each other.
MGarcia fought Broner/Easter.
Lara/Hurd/Trout have all fought each other.
The Charlos have fought Trout/Jrock/Lubin.
Mares fought Leo twice, Leo fought Frampton twice.
No 1 promoter is perfect, you can't force a guy to be great and fight every top guy 1 by 1.
The thing is there's no denying that if you sign with Top Rank you will be protected as an investment, that's good for the fighter but you will also just get blatant ducking and that's just how it goes.
They gave Prograis an ESPN date just that he didn't enforce his mandatory vs. Jose Ramirez. It's a smart move by the promoter but it's because they felt it wasn't going to slanted in their favor. On the other hand they fought Orozco because they felt he had a big edge over him.
PBC isn't perfect but for GGG he won't be matched soft if he signs to SHO, that's why Top Rank would be the way to go. Arum would squeeze the juice left by giving him gimme's while demanding a 40% split if Canelo wanted to fight for the 3rd time.
