This isn't a Loma situation. That guy was a finished product ready to go from the start. At 85 you gotta wonder how long Arum has left.

This is a little surprising considering the current trends in the sport. If you watch what Floyd has done with Jack, Davis (Tank), Tabiti. I think it's fair to say that they are on to something at Mayweather Promotions. All of his fighters have gotten opportunities, even J'Leon Love (not all have succeeded obviously).

I don’t get this move at all
It may not be a Loma situation but they could both be world champs, or even 2 weight world champs in the next few years.

Floyd seems to be doing ok so far but his stable is weak. Apart from Davis he has no world champs. Jack arguably robbed in his last 2 fights isnt a great sign for a promoter. Also I cant imagine Floyd pays anywhere near what Arum or Golden Boy can. I think Conlan got a 7 figure signing on fee, no way Floyd would do that.
