    What a horrible and stingy and racist company that treats its clients like crap. Glad Crawford exposed Top Rank and Bob Arum for severely overpaying their fighters to fight guys with little to no name recognition.

    I have no issue with boxers fighting for what they are willing to fight for. But if the inflated ego and value some of these fighters think they are worth is confusing. What had Joseph Parker done in the years since losing to Dillian Whyte compared to Joe Joyce to deserve more. Also he was the away fighter on the promotion and comes from the other side of the world.

    I don't understand the high purses of Devin Haney either, not sure what makes him popular, his style is boring and so is his personality

    Ludicrous that Stevenson is paid that much. Just terrible. Bob is really sucking him off.

    Top rank is the worst. In house fights over and over while the best fights cant be made because he literally hates to do buisness with other promoters. Hes deprived us boxing fans of the biggest fights for years because of this. But good for Shakur, at least hes getting paid.

    In all fairness that's only two hundred thousand per low blow with a bonus of two hundred thousand for the body slam.

    How much did Shakur pay for missing weight? Did he even pay?

    As long as it makes sense financially I love to see boxers pocketing most of the profit.

    Terrible promoter, which was why many big fights fell through. In house fights are terrible for the sport. Absolutely terrible.

    Arum doesn't have a problem working with other promotors and certainly not Al Haymon.

    Lomachenko-Russell (Haymon)
    Gzvozdyk-Beterbiev (Haymon)
    Fury-Wilder 3X (Haymon)
    Crawford-Khan (Haymon)
    Crawford-Porter (Haymon)
    Lomachenko-Rigondeaux (Haymon)
    Pacquiao-Mayweather (Haymon)

    Crawford-Spence could have easily been made, but Spence didn't want it.

    Arum let Lomachenko fight on DAZN against Campbell.

    Im not talking about PBC or DAZN thats all recent stuff.. youve obviously not aware of the big fights Top Rank deprived us from with Golden Boy Promotions for the better part of a decade when GBP had all the other talent. Do your research. The timeline im talking about there was no DAZN, there was no PBC, there was only Top Rank and GBP that mainly had all the talent and they were not working together because Arum refused to do buisness with Oscar De La hoya!
