    I honestly don't see how top rank can stay in business. It seems they lose money every time and outside of manny, none of their fighters can draw. There roster is so depleted from where it was years ago.. Literally have no Latino star on the roster

      Shame HBO would rather waste money on tune ups and mismatches than unification fights like this.

        I don't know how Top Rank can make money on Pacquiao any more his purse guarantees outweigh his draw.

          Very true. Pacquiao's PPV career went belly up after Marquez almost killed him. Rios, Algieri, and Bradley III were all failures at the box office and didn't break 500K. Bradley II did 750K, but Top Rank lost money on it too. They're just living off that Mayweather fight at this point and hoping for a rematch.
