Bob Arum Reiterates: Top Rank for Sale

Just wondering why Arum has to sell his baby. Produce your fights and sell them to DAZN doe.

"Oscar Says Many Things That Don't Make Sense" -Saul "Canelo" Alvarez So UH...YEAH! I would not take anything Oscar is saying serious as far as all this "This Or That Guy Will Never Get A Shot At Canelo" because Canelo can come right back around and agree to fight that guy and once again Oscar will look absolutely SILLY and have to get on board with it because that is what Canelo wants

For those of you that baah Arum now you can buy him out and run it your way. ShaneMosleySr should buy it. He loves giving away money that doesn't belong to him.

https://pmcvariety.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/ari-emanuel-endeavor.jpg?w=1000 Endevor Company is going to own it all eventually INCLUDING PBC and TOP RANK! Only a matter of time The "Promoters" will eventually be completely Fazed Out from this sport it is coming slowly but surely and a lot of people don't consider that a bad thing at all

(...) A big player will have to step in and buy majority stake of Top Rank. (...) ... The problem, these days, is that such a "big player"doesn't exist...

Can't blame him. Who can keep up with the sky high prices fighters are demanding? PBC is probably just waiting for a buyer. This sport is going to the dogs.

Think of how much Top Ranks video catalogue would be worth. All of the Ali fights, Sugar Ray, etc. etc. They own all those fights. That's definitely valuable but the question is how valuable? He's refused in the past to even think about selling the vault. A big player will have to step in and buy majority stake of Top Rank. Arum is 90, but his stepson and the crew have been doing most of the heavy lifting for years anyways. Question is, does he want to give the company to his stepson when he is dead or rather sell it now and leave to his blood family?

Arum 'has held discussions with Endeavor, Liberty Global, and even DAZN.'"Anything is for sale,"https://t.co/NlDVsoSLAQ— Robert Joyner (@robnashville) February 20, 2020 Bob Arum tells me reports are true he is contemplating taking on minority investment of Top Rank, up to 40 percent. Nothing imminent, he says, but possible it would happen within one year. Arum, 88, said he would remain the face/voice of the company.— Lance Pugmire (@pugboxing) February 20, 2020 https://www.businessinsider.com/bob-arum-would-sell-top-rank-for-the-right-price-2020-1 Arum actually mentioned on Mannix's podcast he is open to this but just hasn't found the right suitor yet. Blavatnik owning TR would be interesting but not sure what they do during the remaining years of the ESPN deal. Wonder when they have an out? If they have one? Endeavor owning TR and UFC would give them all the leverage on ESPN for future negotiations. There are rumors that Arum was looking for 250-300M for TR. Does anyone bite on that figure? Think of how much Top Ranks video catalogue would be worth. All of the Ali fights, Sugar Ray, etc. etc. They own all those fights.

DAZN would expose their fights on a global scale. DAZN already broadcasting PBC fights in other countries PBC can’t reach. I would expect ESPN would broadcast the US fights until that contract expires. DAZN get it done!

Don’t think a sale will happen. If it did, though, DAZN/Blavatnik makes more sense. AND, it will make DAZN a better company with a better roster.

It would make sense, Arum is almost 90. I don't see DAZN buying though. They've been bleeding money from boxing for a year and a half with nothing to show for it.

Don’t think a sale will happen. If it did, though, DAZN/Blavatnik makes more sense.
