Media PBC x Top Rank to work more together

I think it may have more to do with Top Rank getting cut from ESPN.

I’ve heard they are sending their lesser names to Probox and bigger names to PBC shows while they work on a tv - streaming deal/deals

Apparently they'll still be doing some fights on ESPN according to Bob. He mentioned multiple platforms and they already have the Japanese market on Prime with Inoue as their star over there. He was asked if this newfound working relationship between Top Rank & PBC had to do with Turki and the Saudis and he confirmed that it did at least in part. I believe that it's the main reason.

Never liked Bob Arum, made millions out of Pacquiao's back and disrespected Crawford, it was his fault for not knowing how to market him. That guy is a leech before being a promoter.

A place in hell will await for him when he will die, probably will end up near Don King.

This is exactly like back in 1984 when all the old time rasslin promoters got together to form Pro Wrestling USA to try and do battle with a young upstart Vince McMahon who was blazing a trail across the nation and putting everyone else outta business

McMahon is rumored to have said he wasnt worried because with all those egos in one room they wont even be able to agree on what to order for lunch

The joint venture lasted less than one year and quickly fell apart, for the exact reasons McMahon predicted, while McMahon's worldwide empire is still going strong 4 decades later

Something tells me this fancy pants new powerhouse conglomerate between ole Bob & slick Al will meet the same fate, prolly explode just like the Mega Powers did in '89

Top Rank & PBC aren't merging. They're just going to be working together more closely now where before they only begrudgingly did so on occasion.

Sure they will, bud, sure they will, they'll all work together and be one big happy family, just like when all those promoters vowed to work together to battle Vince McMahon back in 1984

Pro Wrestling history answers all questions. No reason to entertain any alternatives.
