They have a chance to create another Kovalev type of monster in Beterbiev too but for some reason have done an awful job of promoting him.
Hard to create new stars without them beating old stars. Kovalev shut out Bernard Hopkins to unify three world championships. There's nobody really for Beterbiev to beat that would give him that kind of rub.

True. Then unification is a must for him to at least cement himself as the #1 guy in that division.
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.
Sonny Conto, Guido Vianello, Janibek Alimkhanuly, Paddy Donovan, Jeremy Adorno.
Kovalev was never really a draw either. He couldn't even sell out small arenas.
He was well known enough in the end to collect that bumper DAZN cheque. But I agree though, his profile could have been even higher, poor promotion by Duva and Top Rank meant that he missed out on some really big money.
