What's really going on with toprank??

[HEZEKYHWH]

Okay here's my rant, and I want to hear from you guys what you feel as well...


CERTAIN FIGHTS ARENT BEING MADE, AND TOP RANK IS IN TROUBLE. Their stars aren't happy, CHAVEZ JR. DONAIRE, GAMBOA ETC.

I mean do you guys really think it is in ARUMS best interest to set up a PAC VS FLOYD FIGHT RIGHT NOW???

If Floyd whoops Pac (more than likely will) then that puts arum in the position of losing his #1 cash cow. And he doesnt have many left at all....


Juanma is already done basically....
Pavlik was pissed
Gamboa is pissed
Donaire was basically just as pissed as Gamboa was , and even recently stated and sympathized with Gamboa.
Cotto Left TOP RANK...

Are we beginning to see the beginning of a dynasty crumbling??
Theres much bad blood between Chavez Jr. and Arum as well as Alex Ariza has stated as much lately.

I mean have you guys ever seen as much nonsense out of a promotional company???

And reading between the lines, ARUM seems to be a little nervous just as he was with this GAMBOA situation. Even stating that he feels "other parties" are filling Gamboa with promises basically.

Just as with PACS counter offer, what people fail to realize is that Pac isnt in control to offer anything.

And even ARUM CAME OUT AND STATED AS MUCH HERE RECENTLY. WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT PEOPLE TALKING FOR MANNY WHOM ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO.

The promotional company seems to stick its foot in its mouth as people contradict one another religiously.

HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT TOP RANKS CURRENT SITUATION??

ARE THEY FINE, OR AGAIN ARE WE BEGINNING TO SEE THE FALL OF A DYNASTY??

thoughts???

eh, they are fine. You left out a lot of names too that aren't unhappy. Rios for example.

anyways, pac is going to retire soon, that's a fact. they will lose him win or lose against floyd. such is boxing. They have a massive roster (tons of rising prospects as well) and new stars will be born. The company doesn't rely just on pacquiao, it's a big promotional company with tons of fighters.

arum will be gone eventually too and todd debouf will take over, which I think will be good for all of boxing.

2-3 years ago people said golden boy was in big trouble because all of their stars were getting old (hopkins, mosley, oscar, winky, marquez) but next thing you know they have rising stars like canelo, khan, etc. It's a cycle and the same will happen with TR.

Atleast choose a diff Avatar when making threads like this

[Larry the boss]

Arum is ripping fighters off and refusing to make fights with other promoters the act is getting old and stopping a lot of potentially great fights

Let's be real.

Nearly every promoter is ripping off their fighters.

Arum isn't unique. King is really no different.

Sports go through tumultuous times when athletes find their voice and compare their salaries to the top brass' cut.

It just happens to be boxing's turn, but most boxers are just so glad to be getting any money that they stay loyal to the promoters that keep them hungry.
