Saul Alvarez might sign with Top Rank

[XviciousX]

Top Rank is working on a deal with promoter Tutico Zabala to co-promote popular rising Mexican welterweight Saul Alvarez (30-0-1, 22 KOs). If the deal is finalized, his first bout would be televised on the March 13 Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey pay-per-view view card at Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Alvarez, 19, who has been drawing big crowds in Mexico and gaining exposure on Mexican television giant Televisa, would open the telecast. The promotion for the March 13 show, which Top Rank's Bob Arum said will be called "The Event," will kick off in a few days. Pacquiao is due to arrive in Los Angeles from the Philippines Saturday night. Arum said a news conference to formally announce the fight is scheduled on Tuesday at Cowboys Stadium with a second news conference scheduled at New York's Madison Square Garden on Wednesday. Arum said members of the famed Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad would be on hand at both press conferences and would serve as round card girls for the fight. Arum added that fight tickets will be priced at $700, $500, $300, $200, $100 and $50.

seems like Golden Boy and Top Rank are competing to sign Alvarez

knock out blow by top rank over golden boy if they get the mexican ginger.

If saul alvarez is smart he would sign with top rank. golden boy has never developed a young prospect to star status.

The fact that richard schaeffer mentioned alvarez as a possible opponent for fraudulent jr. tells you all you need to know about GBP. Buncha amateurs.

If Alvarez wants to keep that 0 for a while longer, he should sign with Top Rank. lol.

It would also be smart for him because he'll pick up 2-3 vacant belts and be considered a superstar before he even lands a big fight.

Care to match JWW and WW level of opposition between that guy and your favorite undefeated fighter?

Saul has superstar written all over him. Hes already huge in Mexico, has a eye popping record and is very young. He has huge technical deficiencies but hes exciting to watch. His awkward style makes for a very fan friendly fighter.

I think he should go to top rank, unlike Golden Boy , they know how to develop their stars and are never in a rush to cash in on them. GBP has so many HBO dates they don't know what to do with them. I really can't wait until their contract with HBO is done.
