derrick would have put his foot in kenny porter's ass for real if it escalated

PBC might fukk around and make them headline a PPV.

this would take care of the WBA potentially getting in the way of an undisputed fight

Translated:

Stanionis has said, regarding whether he will go directly against Spence or if he would "wait for the winner", that he "is flexible" but that his dream is "to be the Absolute Champion and monopolize all the belts"

Top Rank paid media something else, dude just don't want to be there and asked questions about TR's relationship with Daniel Kinahan

Ace, will you say sorry to David Diamante?

ya'll discussed Derrick James saying Shawn & Kenny Porter aren't speaking anymore?

You could tell that from the jump.

As soon as he threw the towel and Shawn flipped and retired.

Kenny was kicking his ass on those TR promos too.

Sooner or later Shawn was going to draw the line.

Mayweather Promtions has the PBC engine.

There is no way in hell TR would have pulled off the Tank experience in Atlanta, Baltimore, LA in the same way, not even close.

They tried to replicate it with Shakur last year and it wasn’t even 1/4th.

TR is huge, yet they are affiliated with ESPN which is Disney, not raw enough to capture Tank’s essence.

Yep

The biggest thing Top Rank has over most promoters is fighter development, and other top promoters are matching them in that area.

Stevenson & Haney would be much bigger today if they were with Mayweather Promotions.

One thing in Tanks favour over the other two is that he knocks a lot of opponents out aka one punch power.

That always brings a lot of people along for the ride, always has.

*Not saying the other two aren’t elite, but it’s a lot easier to promote a knock out artist.

Ok but that doesn't mean he has to sign to them in order to appear on PBC broadcasts. Most of the PBC guys are free agents who employ Haymon as an advisor/manager. He doesn't need Mayweather to "get in". Spence wants the fight, he wants the fight, it's gonna happen with or without Floyd, if anything egos and money gonna be a hurdle.

Lol, yes, they are in the game for like what... 50 years... and have a track record of building up stars, putting on mega events but there is absolutely NO WAY they could have pulled it off with Tank. Some of you here just can't objectively talk about anything Top Rank, it's amusing Like even admitting they are a different league to Mayweather Promotions seems to be too much when it's enough to look at how many top 10 fighters, champions, or top prospects each has currently.

TR is huge, yet they are affiliated with ESPN which is Disney, not raw enough to capture Tank’s essence.

Don't think that Disney bothers with talking into how they should promote combat sports. Tyson Fury is as controversial as it gets and he's a Disney guy too by your definition.

Not saying that he shouldn't sign to Mayweather btw I just think it's whatever if he does or not

Top Rank paid media something else, dude just don't want to be there and asked questions about TR's relationship with Daniel Kinahan

"paid media" lmao, what should he do in this situation that wouldn't qualify him as "paid media", like "Excuse me Bob, a lot of ppl don't believe that you really got COVID, aren't you just lying because the Kinahan situation? Mind if I ask you to send me a photo of your positive test?"

I think too that he just wants to distance himself from the whole Kinahan case but what should a journalist do with something like this?
The only right thing about the whole situation they can do is asking about Kinahan whenever they have the opportunity during fight week.
