A lot of you dudes blame Arum solely which is quite ridiculous. There are match makers. Not only that the fighter themselves have a team. They have an adviser and/or manager, a trainer etc etc and the fighter himself that also has to do with the opponent they fight. Some fighters like Juanma, Chavez Jr, Gamboa and others are co-promoted. So it's not just Top Rank. But, again cuz' Arum is always talking they just blame him.

Anyways, Top Rank isn't losing any luster. It's arguably the best promotional company in the game right now. I don't know any other American based promotion company with the resources that Top Rank has. Top Rank is the last real promoter with perhaps Main Events. That they don't need the networks. They use the networks but they don't need them. The rest of promoters need the networks. Which is why the networks are becoming promoter-like because wannabe promotional companies can't do it without them.
