BoMac is Bud's manager



Bud team is trash ... him and all his ppl have no business savvy

They didn't do that bad if we are talking about "business", Bud makes millions/fight, an even higher figure purse would only be realistic if he'd fight Spence or Pac,which is why it's good that it seems like TR is letting him go.

I could give a fukk what trash Arums talks at him as long as he lets him go without tying him down for years with a lawsuit.

so i guess they didnt straighten shyt out with tevin....well either way i think jojo prolly loses this fight

I have Jojo winning this one. He's a tough guy, can take a punch and this Tajik-Russian cat, Rakimov looked real bad against Fuzile until the KO. He started well in the first 2 rounds or so but after that Fuzile gave him a boxing lesson up until he abruptly got stopped when he exchanged once too much with Rakhimov. Not hard to hit, dirty (not necessarily a disadvantage but he is), fights angry and due to his immensely high guard he is very susceptible to body shots, got hurt by Fuzile with bodyshots a few times. Which is Diaz's bread and butter.

Diaz won't move away as much as Fuzile did, different style so Rakhimov has a chance to catch him slipping but I think Jojo wins a war.

Not gonna complain cause it's just dude's 9th fight but this doesn't raise my blood pressure or anything, Hammer will fall. Yoka's hype died down a little because he got popped but otherwise he's a solid looking prospect who's very athletic for a HW and has the fundamentals down too. Lots of stuff we don't know about him yet but gonna be interesting how they bring him up further. He's with Prince too just like Ajagba, not sure if Jared Anderson is with him too or just signed to TR but either way, TR has some depth in HW talent now.

im not high on yoka either..hammer is a pretty durable guy too..he can def give that roid head some rounds

BoMac is Bud's manager



Bud team is trash ... him and all his ppl have no business savvy and lack hustle

So his manager need to speak publicly on Arum comments?
It seem clear to me Bud and his team don't REALLY give a fukk about Arum comments based off their reaction. So either they eating to the point they know Arum telling the truth and they getting the better end of that deal or it's really a publicity stunt and they talked to arum behind the scenes already or something.

All in all this shyt is Bud's fault at the end of the day. He signed the extension knowing how they've done him this whole time so I don't feel bad for him.

They're not letting Bud go til October 2021. He's locked in and Bob already said he's turning over Bud's career to his son-in-law, he's done with Bud. But he still on the TR plantation.

What it is, is Bob Arum telling the truth because his old ass don't have a filter anymore and got angry because Bud's lawyer sent a threatening letter to TR. It ain't for publicity because that's bad business when you're trying to make a fight with Pac or Spence. You lose all leverage when you say "he don't sell, he ain't shyt." How does that help him at all in negotiations? Your own promoter telling you you're B-side and a non-factor on PPV.

And they are getting the better end if TR loses money and they get paid, however, he's been taking pay cuts to make fights. So is he really winning? No. All of it is a mess and Idgaf anymore really, we not getting any big fights from Bud because he don't want to fight nobody fr.

that's why i said that shyt was dumb and honestly i was expecting TBC to be on some "release me now" shyt
but ultimately PBC got access to the reported numbers regardless what Arum says, if the bout was against Spence they knew their guy did better numbers and had leverage
60/40 sounds a little too much to me but it seems like PBC was already leaning in that direction before Arum said shyt
(flipside is ppl like Danny Garcia pressing for more money could been a purse duck if everyone knows TR don't have much wiggle room cause Bud don't sell )
ultimately we gotta wait till Oct to see what TBC does. If he resign I won't even be mad cause it will mean he getting another easy bag and is ok with getting paid to coast

Crawford said a while ago in an interview he wouldn't even still be boxing if he didn't have so many people to take care of. The man don't love the sport like that he is comfortable where he at, and all this is probably a publicity stunt to distract you from the fact that he has fought nothing but 'fringe contenders' () since he moved up to 147 basically and he isn't about to be matched up with nobody legit for a while.

Must suck to be a Crawford fan, Spence done gave me fights with 2017 Kell Brook, #4 ranked P4P fighter, a FOTY with Porter, and gonna fight Danny next, and then if he wins gonna unify with Pac, then probably gonna fight the winner of Keith and Ugas.

Meanwhile Crawford only option is round 2 with Mean Machine.

Must suck to be a Crawford fan,

For what?
A good scrap is a good scrap. All bud fights be exciting and end on a crescendo
ain't no $75 glorified sparring sessions or life and death hug fest when TBC fight
nikkas get hit and nikkas get knocked out
and you really feeling yourself like Spence ain't just start taking meaningful bouts, consistently, in 2019
enjoy them porter and garcia rematches yall about to get fed over the next year and half

Still better fights than Mean Machine pt 2 bruh.

Crawford is P4P #1 and has been matched up like a prospect his last 5 fights basically. Vergil Ortiz Jr. arguably has a better stretch of fights his last 5 fights bruh.

So Yoka never failed a test but he missed a bunch why don’t y’all like Yoka otherwise he looks like the best or second best heavyweight prospect to me. I’m biased on Big Baby
