    They had Paul Williams and Broner top 5 P4P FFS!

    Berto was handed a title and HBO gave him a bunch of money to fight nobodies.

    Seth Mitchell was an ovbvious train wreck in the process but still got payd and pushed.

    Some other names;

    Raushea Warren
    Ricardo Williams
    Rock Allen
    Curtis Stevens
    Jaidon Codrington
    Eric Harding
    Zab Judah

    Gary Russell Jr is another, even though he's a good fighter. He's not what they were claiming he was when he was first coming up and won ESPN prospect of the year. They were talking like he was gonna have the type of career Lomachenko is having/ will have
