Where is Top Ranks financial strength?

[DaNeutral.]

Frankie 5hit show Warren has admitted his pockets are empty after winning the bid for this Fury fight. He can only afford a turd of an undrrcard, one that really is not fitting for a Heavyweight world title fight or a PPV.

So where is Crispy Bob to bail him out? Are they not joint promoters of Tyson Fury? Surely Frank and Crispy Bob would of been patting each other on the back to of out bid Matchroom and get one over on Hearn but is that where Bob left it? Is that where Bob leaves Frank to struggle to actually build a half decent PPV event? Or look like an absolute joke like he currently is doing?

Where is Bob and his Top Rank super powers?

That's how it is when the fight is held outside the US. Bob Arum puts his whole soul when the fight is in his home country. Warren doesn't have to do anything other than sit on his couch just like Shirley Finkel in the Wilder fight. What does Bob know about the sport in the UK?

Since toprank lately has the thinnest undercards out of all the major players (in the US), I guess they are not in a good position themselves.

Well Crispy Bob doesn't seem to need 5hit shows help but Frankie has fkked himself here and could of done with some help. Frank is guna continue to foam at the mouth at Eddie Hearn for god knows what reasons but crispy racist Bob seems to be letting Frank sink here and look a total twat.

The main event sells itself. It sucks for the fans especially the ones attending but Frank didn’t need to put on a good undercard cause the fight will draw massive revenue regardless.

Frank should have used this opportunity better though, this is the biggest fight on British soil in decades, so many eyes will be watching, so it’s a chance to sell a Dubois or a Yarde to a casual audience. Even if you just put them in tune up fights it still gives them exposure.

For example a card like this wouldn’t even be that expensive:

Fury-Whyte
Dubois-Hammer
Yarde-Bolotniks
Essuman-Tetley
Then you fill the card out with your top prospects like McCann, Itauma, Noakes, Adeleye etc.

Yeah it’s not Arum’s responsibility. This poor undercard is on Frank Warren.

Arum has made his money, and doesn't care about the managers. Top Rank has watched Manny and Crawford jump ship in recent years and Fury is their biggest marquee name. If he beats Whyte, which he should, that lines up a super fight with AJ or Usyk, unless their rematch goes to a trilogy.

They can build Shakur, Beterbiev and still have Lomachenko when he returns. If Bob can make a fight between Canelo and Beterbiev that would be a lucrative fight. If Loma fights winner of Kambosos/Haney there is another big fight. Tank will continue to avoid him. Murata and Berchelt are done IMO.

I don't see what financial strength has to do with it.

The fight has to turn a profit. You don't get financial strength by losing money.

Calculate what the fight can make. Take off an acceptable profit margin and event costs... you're left with a purse bid amount. That's what Frank did (and Hearn who came up with a lower number).

You're simply seeing that there isn't that much money in the fight. Well not enough to buy an undercard.

[QballLobo]

Warren won the bid so its his show to promote. Fights sold out anyway so who cares about an undercard?

[brettWall]

Top Rank doesn't get a cent from the UK market. Arum's concern is only on selling the US feed. That's where his earnings would come from.
