    Top Rank are just prospect builders, nothing else

    Their cheap cards really suck lately. The only interesting thing is watching for guys who will potentially be good in the future.

    Basically Shobox.

      You're right. Shobox had undefeated prospects fighting undefeated prospects. Top Rank just put their guys in as -1200 favorites over and over again.

        Some yes , some shows no but what can you do when you spin everything as one
        Meaning maybe the Bobfather should start naming his shows kind of like Shobox , we knew what we were getting

          Fury-Usyk and Bivol-Beterbiev both needed Saudi involvement. Top Rank are cheap.

                Hmmm , that wouldn’t surprise me and would make sense
                The shows have gotten worse but some have been pretty good especially the Japanese cards

                  What differentiates it from PBC is that most of their semi-big fights are on regular subscriptions. Fights that would have been PPV on PBC. I don't see Adames vs Gausha, for example, being on PPV if they were TR fighters. How TR manages to make fighters accept fights on non-PPV is pretty impressive.

                    Good fughin point
                    There would be hundreds of posts if it was a ppv bashing it but for free I won’t argue that much
                    Anything I don’t have to pay for is great imo
