      What have I been missing? The recent Lara/Martirosyan fight was on Showtime, not PBC. The Thurman/Porter took a year to make. The ESPN fights that were promised are not happening. I rarely see Atlas and people are missing FNF. Not to mention a $925 million lawsuit was filed by investors against Waddell & Reed.

      Why are you people making these ****ty threads?

        Arum created this himself. Pretty sure he was the one that decided not to do business with GBP and Haymon because he could make more money keeping everything in-house. If i was Haymon i wouldn't throw him a lifeline **** him, Top Rank is dying.

          I agree.

          Without HBO, they are getting $50k per show license fees on Spanish network. They cannot fulfill their contractual agreements with their mid range and top end fighters.

          The game is almost over for them.

            Bankrupt doesn't mean broke and it definitely doesn't mean finished.

                  LOL. How long til TR is out of business in your opinion?

                  Cmon guys. I think Arum might be the antichrist, but most promoters in boxing would cut off 3 random fingers to have Arum's roster, connections & savvy in this game. TR isn't going anywhere.

                  Boxing fans so f#cking dramatic lol. Everything is dying or dead or a bum or unbeatable. Nothing is ever in the middle. Nothing is just...alrite or okay.

                      I think TR will just be in the shadows. They can do their Solo Boxes shows which nobody pays attention to.
