        True indeed. And he's gonna put all three of these on one card when anyone of them would have been great undercards. He's just cashing out these young boys for no profit, he better pray there's no upset.

          GO ON OSCAR VALDEZ INSTAGRAM AND YOU WILL SEE BRADLEY... HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS WALKING AROUND AT 180 POUNDS.... PBC IS KEEPING BOXING ALIVE IN AMERICA AND HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS!

            its a flop but oscar valdez is probably the biggest star on the card.... Stevenson maybe 2nd biggest

              Sucks for Arum. Because Valdez, Magdaleno, Ramirez, and Stevenson should be put on HBO or on a regular network.

              Why isn't Top Rank getting the same business as Golden Boy Promotions on HBO yet has more established talent then them? Makes no sense.

              Again if you can't get Valdez, Ramirez, or Magdaleno on regular HBO why not use the HBO Latino platform for them?

              Bob Arum needs to find a network to work with the same as Golden Boy Promotions did to showcase their non speaking Spanish talent and to compete with PBC. Plain and Simple

              For example the USA Network use to do fights why not try that avenue?

                  Seems like HBO only focuses on certain fighters from now on which is a shame. That card is absolutely not PPV worthy.. Ramirez vs a top guy would be nice to see, but vs Burask? WTF?

                    Because Bob is a dinosaur. He was dominant for so long because of the lack of competition. It was him and Don King at the top and King ruled the heavyweight division. Once the Heavyweight division started to stink, King was gone. Then Golden Boy came along and gave Top Rank a run for their money and had them on their heels before Oscar decided to play nice with Bob and fire Schaefer. Since then Golden Boy and Top Rank have done more business with PBC than they've done with each other. He's out of ideas. It's either HBO or PPV. A forward thinking person would've seen the eventual decline in PPV and invest in other ways to generate revenue....Oh, there was one person who saw that.

                      Problem #1

                      "The handout to which Arum referred is a license fee from HBO for the rights to televise Valdez and Ramirez fights.

                      Problem #2

                      "That license fee theoretically could come from Showtime as well, but Top Rank doesn’t do business with Showtime"

                      Prolem #2 is his OWN doing! I don't feel sorry for Rtards and dummies like that...
