Top Rank

Top Rank, Inc. was a Paradise, Nevada based boxing promotion company founded by Jabir Herbert Muhammad and Bob Arum, which was incorporated in 1973. Since its founding, the company has promoted several world class fighters, such as Muhammad Ali, Alexis Argüello, Oscar De La Hoya, Roberto Durán, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Marvin Hagler, Manny Pacquiao, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Erik Morales, Thomas Hearns, Paulie Ayala, Iran Barkley, Michael Carbajal, Larry Holmes, Ray Mancini, Carlos Monzón, Terry Norris, Gabriel Ruelas, Rafael Ruelas, James Toney, and many others. The company has promoted such superfights as Hagler vs Leonard, Chavez vs De La Hoya, Holyfield vs Foreman, Foreman vs Moorer, Leonard vs Hearns, Hagler vs Hearns, Ali vs Frazier II and both Ali vs Spinks fights. The company also promoted George Foreman's comeback to regain the world championship, culminating in the knockout of then IBF/WBA champion Michael Moorer on November 5, 1994. Recently the company has focused primarily on Hispanic fighters.

Top Rank was sponsored by Tecate.

But when the rematch between Pacquiao and Bradley's closing ceremony is there in MGM Grand Garden Arena, Top Rank had having a great time paying tribute to the Olympics and brought to the fame and honor to enlighten our movement.

There are no tournaments in professional boxing, but the amateur boxing did it.

Top Rank Boxing on ESPN
Top Rank Boxing and then-fledgling ESPN formed a partnership to bring a weekly boxing to the cable network which culminated with the first regularly televised boxing series since 1964. The first event was held on April 10, 1980 in Atlantic City, when middleweight Frank Fletcher decisioned Ben Serrano. The now defunct Top Rank Boxing on ESPN was the longest running cable series and weekly boxing series in history, after celebrating its 16th consecutive year in 1996.

Legal Disputes
​Top Rank was involved in a legal dispute with Golden Boy Promotions (owned by De La Hoya, whom the company formerly promoted) involving eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao which was settled to allow for future Top Rank fighters facing Golden Boy Promotions fighters starting in Oct 2007 with Manny Pacquiao vs Marco Antonio Barrera 2, Miguel Cotto vs Shane Mosley in November 2007, Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Márquez 2 on March 8, Bernard Hopkins Vs Kelly Pavlik in Nov 08, De La Hoya vs Pacquiao in Dec 08, Mosley Vs Antonio Margarito in Jan 2009, and Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton in May 2009.

Top Rank owner Bob Arum has also had a long-standing feud with owner of Don King Promotions, Don King. The two have been accused of having a strangle hold over the sport of boxing and have had several altercations over the forty plus years they have been competing with each other.
