    Top Rank cable deal?

    Both Steve Kim and Dan Rafael have mentioned the possibility...though Kim says "basic cable" and Rafael says "major cable"...

    Steve Kim wrote earlier in the week:

    "It's being speculated around the industry that Top Rank is on the verge of securing a monthly television deal with a basic cable outlet."



    Dan Rafael mentions it in today's chat:

    "I think TR has it's own TV deal in the works with a major cable network."

          TR could announce a deal with BeIn and we'd have a half dozen threads a day about how BeIn is the new paradigm in sports broadcasting.

              I am glad to see haymon's moves are making Bob add programming. But does anyone trust anything Dan puts out right now?

                it's been rumored Turner might covert truTV to Bleacher Report TV or AT&T and DIRECTV buying Time Warner and turning Audience Network into b/rTV but it looks like Turner will soon have its own sports channel as well.

                    More boxing on tv is not the answer. Better boxing on tv is what's needed.

                    I'd rather see TR be innovative by streaming their small shows on Youtube to build up young fighters in showcase fights. That way no commericals and easier access. They can get their revenue off the gates and pay the fighters a percentage instead of a guarantee.
