    i don't know how top rank is joke when they're probably making more money than everyone else combined.

    you can hate a lot of things that top rank does with some matchups , but top rank knows how to make money.

      Exactly. Todd has no grudges with anyone in the boxing world really. They will do business with GBP and Al Haymon fighters fine.

      Todd Dubeouf taking over will be huge for boxing.

        A massive corporation like Top Rank will always have a CEO under the President, who will take over.

            Course they do, by making there own fighters, fight one another.

            It's not good for boxing.

From interviews I've read in the past with Todd, he seems to have some very progressive ideas that boxing could benefit from. I think it's just that Arum is in the way of that and all his greed and his tunnel vision.

              Arum is VERY oldschool, he's of a dying breed. I'm telling you a lot of the problems we see now with Top Rank will be gone or a lot better when Arum is done.
              uncle bob has been doing some very good things for boxing lately.

              everyone for example was raving at how great the in arena experience is for recent top rank fights.

              i think todd had a lot of influence on that (taking a cue from ufc)

                top rank has some good fighters.

                them fighting each other is not necessarily a bad thing.

                  yup.

                  todd was the one dealing with gbp/pbf for the pac-pbf negotiations.

                  they can't stand arum but they can talk to todd that's why.

                      go look up all the fights top rank has promoted over the years.

                      you'd be surprised how important they have been to boxing history.


                      not everything is about floyd mayweather.
