I think Wealth TV showing the card of the year (the Viloria Marquez fight was arguably the third best on that card) and picking it up for buttons will have given HBO and Showtime bosses pause for thought. They can't not at least bid for this fight in case it's another barnburner.

Viloria wins btw.
Arum is involved via Viloria so I would guess Hbo grabs it should it get made. Arum is just as likely to stay in house and milk this Viloria resurgence for all its worth. Its a remarkable run for a guy that has been in the game for well over a decade but he has never seen anyone close to Gonzalez. He had to work last time out but I think he may have overlooked Estrada. I like Brian but he will think he is fighting a crowd if he ever fights Roman. I don't know what they will do about the weight unless Gonzalez was already thinking on moving up. 4 pounds is a lot that far south.

Gonzalez by decapitation.
