Regis Prograis has long been one of the best, and most entertaining fighters in the world. The WBC super lightweight champion has been been a great interview and a guy with a fan-friendly, high-octane style.
He's often, though, found himself on the wrong side of the street from a business standpoint, and because of the way boxing is structured, found himself on the outside looking in more often than not.
Top Rank offered a five-fight deal and then a four-fight deal with more money per fight than Matchroom had offered. The deal with Top Rank would have begun with a fight later in the summer against Arnold Barboza. Then it would have included a bout against Jose Ramirez, and then one versus the winner of Josh Taylor and Teofimo Lopez on June 10. Ramirez, though, has one fight left on his Top Rank deal and hopes to make it against the Taylor-Lopez winner.
Also, Prograis in addition to managing his own career is starting a promotional company, Rougarou Promotions. Hearn was willing to help him with Rougarou and do co-promotions with his company to get it off the ground. Prograis said Hearn has been able to make fights with other promoters so he's confident that if a fight comes up with someone he wants who is not promoted by Matchroom that Hearn could make it happen.
