And yet.
Arum says he has to look exciting in this fight, change his style and entertain or he isn't getting offered a new contract. And even if he is offered a new contract it won't be for the same kind of money as his last one.
And if Arum won't sign him will Golden Boy want him? The last thing they want is to match him with Santa Cruz who has the ability to sell a lot of tickets and be in a lot of exciting fights in the future. Getting shut out by Rigo puts a big damper on his career.
Now I've said this watch Haymon sign him. But which of his existing fighters would Haymon match him with and why? ( I think Santa Cruz is GBP and Haymon.) And who would buy the fight?
