    Top Rank is still the top dog, I don't see that changing anytime soon. Arum is a master at this game, been going strong for decades, he'll do whatever he has to do to keep TR right where it's at. He went head to head with Don King for years, look where King is at now, GBP rivaled TR over the last decade, now GB isn't in the greatest shape. TR is the Floyd Mayweather of the promoting game, I don't see that ever changing, at least while Arum is alive.

    It's hard to say. For it to succeed, Mayweather needs to get out of his own way.

    Arum and TR have been around for a minute, but back in the day, King was wiping his ass. I think King defeated himself by exploiting his boxers from every angle possible, including Mike Tyson. After time, no one wanted to sign with King because his exploitations became so well known. With King gone, Arum rose to the top, but before then he was as King stated, "Lonely Bob".
    Pac will only be around for 1 year or so, then TR has no big draw fighters except Terence Crawford. TR does a terrible job promoting Crawford and I'm sure MP is making him aware of his options.
    After looking at TR's list of fighters and comparing them to those signed under haymon, Haymon has the far better list.

    My point is people will try as you have attested to with King, but Arum will keep on keeping on and outlast them, you don't stay at or near the top for decades if you aren't awesome at the job.

    Also, yes Haymon has the better list, he stole them all from TR and GB. Now that list of great fighters just set around and not fight each other for the most part. I don't feel Haymon is good for the sport at all, but I hope I'm wrong and he starts making everybody fight each other soon.

    He's a slick operating mealy mouthed lawyer.
    When he put Pac $65M in tax debt., it became clear that he is no better than King. Just slicker.

    How is Arum responsible for Many's huge tax debt, I'm legitimately asking as I was not aware of this or Arum being at fault?

    I don't know anything about promoting but I expect anything tied to Mayweather to go to the top. On a side note their fighter Gervonta Davis I see having real potential to become the P4P 1# in the world. It'll be interesting to see (if hes as good as I think he is) if one day him and Lomachenko have a showdown.

    Possibly. He has a lot to accomplish to be compared to Bob at least, but Floyd is the youngest of the three and is smart, rich and apparently in it for the long haul. Eventually, maybe.

    He recommended the firm who managed Pac's taxes, and then refused to release Pac's important tax information to them. They folded and snitched on Arum.

    Guess who the founder of Top Rank, Inc was?
    Herbert Muhammed, Ali's former manager and 3rd son of Elijah Muhammed, co-founder of the Nation Of Islam.

    Who's that to Ali's right? To his left is Herbert Muhammed.
