What's the appeal of signing to Top Rank?

    In this day and age it seem's that TR have some of the best fighters around, but they don't seem to take risks in who they fight.

    Crawford's career, IMHO, has been a joke. He's getting on as well.

    Loma's has been better, but the fight with Tank seem years away.

    Is there any reason why someone would sign with TR and not GB, Haymon etc?

    ESPN giving them more exposure than PBC and Fox, I would think the argument goes. And I would hold off a bit on hating Top Rank too much, at least as far as Crawford's handling. I mean, yeah, he's fought really no welterweight of consequence, but all the consequential ones are with PBC - what's he supposed to do?

    Money.

    Hopefully Teiken or whatever decide the opponents.

    Depeds on the weight class.

    TR has a bunch of the best fighters from 118-135.

    Haymon has the top guns at 147-154.

    Matchroom/GB have the best 160-175.

    Just all depends on who you want to fight.
