Aren’t there still a few issues for boxing’s cold war to be resolved, namely: which fighters are actually contracted to Golden Boy and not Al Haymon; and Stephen Espinoza from Showtime wouldn't let Top Rank’s Bob Arum attend the conference call to promote the Russell Jr.-Lomachenko fight (due to Golden Boy winning the purse bids and Top Rank not actually involved in that promotion)?

It seems that HBO have re-established their working relationship with Golden Boy for the Hopkins-Kovalev fight, but was this motivated purely to compel Kathy Duva (Main Events) to drop her court case (as there were no damages), because Bernard (a free agent) could have got a bigger purse fighting ‘Superman’ instead?

And obviously Golden Boy say that they’re willing to work with Top Rank, but they haven’t done so yet, have they? For example: Manny Pacquiao’s next opponent is Chris Algieri.

The biggest issue of all is the fact that Showtime & HBO generally don’t work with each other.

All this political shenanigans confuses me!

Bernard Hopkins is actually a Managing Partner in GBP so I wouldnt quite class him as a free agent.
