Top Rank knows how to build prospects make them into local attractions and get them belts.
They just struggle to make those same fighters bigger once they hit that first plateau.

This is why Oscar Valdez is a spent bullet and why Crawford hasn't had a meaningful fight the public cared about since Gamboa.


The last star they got over the hump was :deadmanny:


N they were damn lucky to use Floyd to get Manny so over

I don't care that they 'built' up Floyd, Oscar, and Pac 20 years ago. Who do they have. Ow that is making waves like that, cause none of they top boxers get talked about that much or sell like that. Hell they top fighters are begging for fights. :heh:

right now fury is riding the highest wave in all of boxing...thats TR's cash cow

Crazy thing is Fury's two fights in the US not involving Wilder were complete flops. Wilder without Fury still sold a respectable number of PPVs for a non boxing ass nikka, but they try to make it seem like Fury sold that fight. :heh:

Gonna be interesting to see how TR continues to build Teofimo and Shakur... Both those guys seem like future PBC fighters.

I don’t know why but they don’t seem fit that Top Rank Mold or something :mjpls:

but the bottom line is that they, casuals, saw Fury destroy someone that they perceived as a good fighter clearly..thats why TR week in week out show footage of Fury beating on Wilder like its the thing to do..bob knows what he's doing on that front lol

pac is about the last fighter to be forgotten breh.

a 40 year old Pacquiao in 2020 is PBC's biggest draw and no one on their active roster that can even challenge that outside of maybe Adrien Broner has since blew it since he can't win a fight no more

thats a wild hot take considering how much work Pac put in the lower divisions and who he beat

When did Pac blow up? Pacquiao wasn't being talked about like that even after whooping Barrera and his two fights with Morales, both of whom were huge stars in Mexico.

Pac without Floyd Mayweather would be Nonito Donaire bruh, a respected fighter who for the most part would of been(or will be) forgotten about over time. Pac is completely a product of Floyd Mayweather not Bob Arum or Top Rank.

It's a lot of revisionist history in here, Pac wasn't making waves until they attached his name to Mayweather, just like Crawford wasn't making no names until they attached his name to Spence. They literally do the same thing over and over building up they fighters on the hard work of other fighters and y'all eat that shyt up.

Didn’t even look like him, makes sense since it was in the dark.

Between that shyt and that fight with those kids a couple a years back, he needs to change his circle. Little Hakeem from Empire nikka got too much talent and going for him(proper promotion and push) for it to be squandered over some bullshyt :francis:
