    Comments Thread For: Arum Says ESPN Momentum Building, Big Plans Ahead in 2018

    The Top Rank/ESPN series has been on a strong run of late and that continued this weekend with the entertaining slugfest between Jose Ramirez and Amir Imam, who went 12 hard fought rounds with Ramirez coming away with the vacant WBC 140-pound title.

      The old man is a crook, but he is smart. Basic cable is the way to go. Good fights and dates.

          Top Rank has done a tremendous job with boxing on ESPN so far, they learned from the garbage they dumped on Versus and are actually helping to grow the sport.

          I hope they keep it up.

              Top Rank doing a good job on ESPN! They got too big-headed on HBO, with too many PPVs! I hope Crawford vs. Horn is no longer a PPV, now that Pacquiao is off the card!

                Top Rank on ESPN has been good for boxing fans. Only problem I have is the lack of independent announcers.

                It feels like i'm watching a stream on TR.com because the announcers are so pro TR fighters. I hate this because I grew up in the era where boxing announcers just called the fights rather than be network employee shills.

                But I will take that in exchange for the quality fights being on the air and not PPV.

                  Bradley is pro Top Rank fighters? He's one of the best announcers right now in the ESPN.

                    agreed. bradley is neutral. i've heard him criticize pac before in a fight when when's suppose to be hyping pac up if he was pro TR.
