The future doesn't look good for Top Rank

Bob Arum is to important to Top Rank, his loss will effect them greatly. You need to be cold blooded and ruthless to win in this game and Arum has that in spades, he might have other good boxing people but there is only on Bob Arum. Plus he also has the gift of gab, he know exactly how to get the media playing his tune even the ones he doesn't pay for. He can't be replaced~ Look at Main Event, they were one of the biggest they were well built but the key player died and now while they are still a good company they fell off big time, I would expect the same with Top Rank they will be around but they won't be the same~

I think Top Rank will reign supreme for a long time. GBP and Dibella market their talent too fast or not fast enough only to trail behind Top Rank in the end. As somebody already stated Top Rank has a company of heads and great match-makers to bring along their prospects GBP and Dibella has a ways to go..

They are pretty good in building people up. Anyhow, I don't think TR is going anywhere. GBP has just been very aggressive for the past years. Also, I don't like the idea of them going out soon. That would mean only 1 major promoter ( gbp ) and that would suck for us fans.

King is still in the game and still has a stable of fighters.but King was only 1 person.Top rank is a company with other heads He's still in the game but he fell off big time, he's clearly not on top anymore. King also employed other people, including family members. So because a fighter loses they can't be a draw anymore? Crap so a lose ends your career now? It doesn't end your career but it hurts your marketability, that's why promoters protect their cash cows

Cotto left Pac is gonna retire soon Pavlik is done Margarito is done Bradley is gonna get knocked out Chavez Jr is gonna get massacred by Martinez (IF he gets by Lee and they go through with this fight) Rios will probably lose his 0 at 140 Donaire is the only one who's gonna stay on top for the next few years so a lose ends your career now?

Don't sleep on Bradley. I see Rios, Garcia, and Donaire going to GBP though. Arum isn't dumb, greedy and a prick, yes but dumb.....nah, he is far from dumb. He knows that Pac is going to retire soon and cash out and that he is starting to reveal too much dirt about Arum. He brings Bradley in and plays it up like Bradley is a "come forward" fighter and that's what meshes well with Pac but I don't think that is what he really believes. I think he knows Bradley is probably going to beat Pac, I mean the guy has seen Bradley fight before and the guy dominates the opponent. He just shuts the other guy down and controls the fight...this Pac fight will be no different. Bradley doesn't just barely win fights, he can get dropped by 2 mega bombs in a fight and still get up to dominate so lopsidedly that he wins by UD. Tim isn't going to run away from Pac, he is going to block, slip, counter and side-step all night; Pac is going to be confused I can see it now. Arum knows this and is primin Bradley as the next market piece...Bradley is eager for the opportunity and Arum thinks that he will be able to easily control Bradley because he is so eager to make the "big money". Floyd will retire in a few more fights and by then, Bradley will have headlined 4 or so PPV's and the idea that Bradley is an African American boxing superstar will be getting belted on every HBO boxing telecast and by ESPN. Before long, Bradley will be the replacement Mayweather (from a business marketing standpoint....not as in he is next Mayweather prototype boxer, with the same skillset) Arum will have an easy few couple of years but Bradley will start to buck up at him after a while and he may even consult with Mayweather about branching out on his own.

They still have people. He's just running out of legit fights for Pacquiao. This is the first legit fight we've seen Pac in since Cotto and Clottey, that's the hard truth. He still has people that can make money in the future and beyond though.

People said the same thing about Don King. No promoter stays on top forever. King is still in the game and still has a stable of fighters.but King was only 1 person.Top rank is a company with other heads

Yeah, because they merely survived all these years since the 60s by fluke. They've shown they don't know how to find and recognise new talent and promote them to the top. Give me a break. They'll create more stars just as surely as the sun is set to rise tomorrow morning. the world keeps turning and more fighters will come.Arums been around since the 70's he's had ATG fighters,the show don't stop homie People said the same thing about Don King. No promoter stays on top forever.

I know that a lot of people can't because they are buying into the hype and don't know much about the Japanese fighter, but I can easily see Toshiaki Nishioka beating Nonito Donaire if they fight. I like Donaire, but he is not as good as people are claiming and Nishioka is an excellent boxer. I am happy that things are not going well for Top Rank. The way that their company is ran is absolutley despicable and every boxing fan out there should despise Bob "I Have No Soul" Arum for all of the things that he has done to tarnish the sport that we all love.

the world keeps turning and more fighters will come.Arums been around since the 70's he's had ATG fighters,the show don't stop homie No doubt.. However I think Arum might leave the game when Pac does... Top Rank won't go anywhere though.

As harsh as that sounds, I believe Bob's demise will help top rank become even better, not worsen. I agree....

u forgot reason 1 arum is going to die. As harsh as that sounds, I believe Bob's demise will help top rank become even better, not worsen.

Cotto left Pac is gonna retire soon Pavlik is done Margarito is done Bradley is gonna get knocked out Chavez Jr is gonna get massacred by Martinez (IF he gets by Lee and they go through with this fight) Rios will probably lose his 0 at 140 Donaire is the only one who's gonna stay on top for the next few years you dont think Rigondeaux, Jose Benavidez or Mikey Garcia will do something in this sport? These were the first few that came up. I'm sure there a few more that I might have missed. Besides, even if Chavez, Rios or Bradley lose, they will still be fighting for several years to come.

just because a fighter has a loss doesn't mean they can't draw The just have to have a fighter that appeals to mexicans

If Rios goes over to GBP then I assume Garcia would want Donaire to come along too. That leaves...Marquez? Trainerss don't care who promotes their fighter. Roach got fighters promoted by Top Rank, GBP, Gary Shaw, foreign promoters, etc. Marquez is a free agent.
