Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire a Free Agent, Parts Ways With Top Rank

[Motorcity Cobra]

I think top rank still has that tru tv deal plus they have their own ppv shows.top rank has been building stars for years mainly using hbo they will be fine.pbc with all their channels have yet to create their own star. Not a single one.

How are they gonna build stars with their own PPV? Crawford is the second biggest name on their roster and his PPV got 50k with the backing of HBO. You think this inhouse PPV is gonna build Zurdon and Valdez? Magdaleno-Donaire was a fight HBO would've bought but Magdaleno didn't want the fight. Now he's fighting on a PPV that might sell 10,000 if they're lucky. Without HBO he can't build stars.

Don't think the Tru TV deal is there anymore. But they have a lot of talent but they need more platforms in my opinion.

While PBC doesn't have a superstar on there roster they do have stars such as Thurman, Wilder, Garcia.....etc....now those guys haven't separated from the pack such as Canelo or Pac but PBC is still building these guys into eventual superstars one day. (Possibly)

Top Rank needs an English platform to showcase more of there none Spanish speaking talent.

Floyd should sign the kid up.

Top Rank barely has any real stars left. Top Rank brags that some of their guys have bigger guarantees than most Haymon fighters, and that's the problem when it comes to getting money from HBO. Guys like Crawford, Bradley and a few others don't even want to fight without near seven figures

They likely let Donaire leave because he had some crazy 750K minimum per fight.

You might be on to something. I saw this yesterday but couldn't figure out who they were talking about.

Floyd Mayweather is in serious talks in signing a former multiple time world champion to Mayweather Promotions! #boxing

no the tru tv deal is over with

how is this ppv good for anyone? its not gonna get any sales and no exposure for the guys fighting on it.

How do you define star, wilder thurman, garcia are just as popular as crawford

lol what? nobody knows who wilder is. thurman and garcia aren't ppv stars and their fight against each other didn't help their cause.crawford is much closer to becoming one and he can if he beats pac. That passing of the torch fight is what you need to get to the next level. pbc doesn't have a legendary fighter like that in their stable.

Nobody has a legend like Pac in their stable. You're talking about Arum having a Tru Tv deal and that's been over for a year or so. That proves you don't even watch his fighters if they aren't on HBO.
