Will Top Rank even exist once Lomachenko and Crawford retire?

[ShaneMosleySr]

Their stable is absolute garbage.

It seems to me like they’re relying on guys to become superstars who I doubt will ever make it.

They have a bunch of guys who clearly aren’t elite and the one who really seems to have a chance, Shakur Stevenson, is a bore and punches girls in parking structures.

They will keep going till Bob is dead.

Which maybe before Crawford and Lomachenko retire

Top Rank has to turn Shakur and others into stars before the ESPN deal is up to ensure getting another deal.

But it's easier said than done.

Top Rank has been on thin ice many times over the years, but always finds a way to survive. So it's tough to bet against them.

But yes, their roster is very thin. They had three of HBO's top stars at a time HBO was struggling and before it was too late, they leveraged those three stars to land an ESPN deal (and then immediately lost one of those three stars).

Arum is a brilliant promoter, but he won't be around forever. Even if his stepson is capable, it doesn't mean he'll be able to regain momentum in tough times as many times as Bob has managed to.

Top rank has existed long more than I have. I think they’ll continue doing business after those names..
But they should find someone to take arum’s coat

TR has been around for almost fifty years now. It will be around for however long Bob is around for.



****, Arum has forgotten more about boxing than most promoters know.

todd has been around long enough to learn and know how to run the company and most feel hes way more involved these days than most would believe....and that bob is kinda running out in front of the cameras as a figurehead while todd does most of the real work....

bob is still a pretty sharp cat for his age....hes a BS artist too...but hes pretty sharp

[pillowfists98]

As long as the future GOAT Teofimo Lopez is on the roster they'll be fine.

[mcdonalds]

They better hope teo KO's Loma

He’s incredibly sharp BECAUSE he’s a BS artist. All promoters are, but Bob keeps all of his lies and stories straight lmfao

Top Rank has a deep young talent pool, Shakur, Lopez, Inoue already have a huge following at a super young age.

Shakur Stevenson - Arguably the best young fighter in boxing
Teofimo Lopez
Naoye Inoue
Edgar Berlanga
Joshua Greer Jr
Xander Zayas
Gabriel Flores Jr
Joseph Adorno
Jared Anderson
Keyshawn Johnson (pretty much a given that he's signing with Top Rank after the Olympics in Japan..he might come back with a GOLD medal)

I'm probably missing a few.
