Jose Ramirez Extends Top Rank Deal

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ramirez and Top Rank announced the deal on Saturday hours at a news conference before Ramirez attended the Top Rank Boxing on ESPN card at Madison Square Garden. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed but Top Rank said the deal is "among boxing's most lucrative long-term promotional pacts and keeps Ramirez in the fold for Top Rank on ESPN main events for years to come."

"I turned pro with Top Rank, and this is where I want to be," Ramirez said. "Thank you to (Top Rank chairman) Bob Arum, (president) Todd duBoef, the entire Top Rank team and my manager, Rick Mirigian, for believing in me. While I am a unified 140-pound world champion, there is so much for me still to accomplish. I want to become undisputed champion in 2020, and I am confident that my dream will become a reality."

DAZN folked out $4m to him just to fight Hooker.. Top Rank/ESPN would have had to make this a lucrative deal..

Maybe a $1.5m-$2m guarantee each fight as long as he’s champion? Must be some clauses in there.
