Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Buying 'A Piece of Top Rank is Very, Very Expensive ... No Incentive to Sell'

[DClefthook]

Someone who wants to enter boxing and buys only top rank is like someone wanting to enter professional football and only buys the Afc west. If you want to make boxing work in America you have to buy Top Rank GBP and PBC

I think the "brand" value of ANY promotional company is pretty much ZERO. The value would be in the projected revenue of remaining promotional contracts and broadcast agreements, and the value of their content library. And you are correct that the library value is entirely subjective.

The brand value can be whatever they want to assign it and its purely subjective. doesnt mean potential buyers would agree

That thing can't be sold?! This is boxing...
Whomever buys the brand eventually goes broke because the real asset or value is the proverbial flash drive..file etc..

Bob ain't selling his business to a Goyim.

It's already in his will to pass on to someone in his family.

do you bring race into every aspect of your life? is your main purpose in life to identify as a victim?

Good Ole Bobby gonna live to 200.

if he sold it, probably would get Billions of the Catalog alone, also Top Rank has Infrastructure: Bob has Building(s), Gyms...

amazing that he is still sharp and still Promoting boxing after all these years and at now 90 years old and doesn't seem to be slowing down at all good for him

Arum is running circles around others in the sport at age 90. It's impressive that he still has all his faculties.

Bob and his son in law saw what was coming. Top Rank owns more fight video rights I believe than anyone else. He finessed the networks on those rights and likely took less short money in favor of long term earnings. It’s a smart move, top rank will exist longer than most companies just off that alone. I’d say they are likely profitable for the library alone before even making a current era fight dime for the year.

That maybe true, however, which fights can’t one get for free on YouTube?
Things are a lot different than eons ago when no one had access to videos or even pictures. The real value might be in real estate if Top Rank owns a bunch.

Well said! IMHO real estate gives them the $ to keep the people allowing them to operate happy.. Bob isn't Fury.. loose lips sink ships and all that good stuff.

I wish i could say otherwize, but this is boxing.

Franklin vs Whyte is a good reminder of what boxing was and still is..
