Eddie must really want him to clean up the 115 old guard lol
Clean it up or die trying
Didn't bam take sor's spot? Makes sense Sor would be next to face Bam.

Crazy first defense for sure though lol
He did but this isn’t even his weight class and he’s all the way in the deep end with King Sor

Any of the Stanleys wanna explain to me why Beterbiev with his 17 fights N 17kos isn’t a PPV star… I mean he’s on the Great Top Rank… he got the Kos that make it so easy to be promoted :jbhmm:


I’ll be patiently waiting for my Answer :mjgrin:

exactly :mjlol:

hell why not add Joe Smith to that as well.

Dude should be bigger than Plant with all of them KOs and top level fights, but he isn't. :patrice:

nikkas really thought they could use the puncher excuse when half the nikkas over there on TR are KO artists :gucci:

TR not only hit or miss with promoting black boxers, they hit or miss with white boxers too. :hhh:

Im with you on this, tank easier to promote due to his power, the non knockout artist is what shows if a promotional company is good or not.
I give them credit for building Tank though, they did a good job and it helped that Tank got more committed in these last two years, before that with the weight problems and out of ring troubles for a time it seemed dude might head down the Broner route in terms of wasting his talent, fortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
But you're right that there are guys who just attract mainstream attention you can see on their social media following too, two fighters who are like this from the "new generation" are Tank and Ryan Garcia.

This is where you are twisting things.

Saying the PBC engine is massive and that only they know how to capture Tank’s rawness doesn’t mean people are anti Top Rank. They just can’t. J Prince had Kanye West and Quavo among others at Shakur’s last fight in ATL where TR tried to feed off of Tank/Barrios and that had 0 buzz, pre, during, and after.

Already acknowledged TR is huge. And they need to keep these Blood Sweat and Tears series going (pretty close to All Access)

Already acknowledged they are good for guys coming up etc.

There’s a reason why Haney’s Day in Camp is his largest viewed promotional video by a landslide though.

That being said, TR is a better fit for others. They might be able to get Haney back buzzing again (def will bring more buzz than DAZN, who literally didn’t release any shoulder programming for Haney, 0).

Haney comes across as a naturally nice guy (on the surface at least), which is what TR loves.
Okay then, I see what you mean and I respect your opinion, can't say I agree with it too but fair enough

To be expected coming off fighting Saunders, Plant, Bivol, and Golovkin.
I'm not even a Canelo stan, but anyone who has a problem with him taking a soft touch after Biviol/GGG in the same year only has hate on their minds.

Like, that's exactly when you take one.
