Smith has no chance, so chief support should be something better than prospects fighting an 8 rounder. Fish Eyes Warren gives better value for money than that.
The problem for RN is they only have a few fighters signed. They may have one or two marquee names but those names need to fight the other champs and top dogs who are all promoted by GBP/Arum/Haymon. The last rapper who tried this signed a few names and then couldn't make fights for any of them because the big promoters aren't going to help somebody else into the market.
