Prominent boxing promotion Top Rank, helmed by veteran promoter Bob Arum, has officially concluded an eight-month period without a primary broadcast partner, a phase often dubbed the ‘TV wilderness.’ The company has now secured a new agreement to bring several of its fight cards to the DAZN streaming platform. This new partnership is particularly noteworthy as it casts a spotlight on Arum’s historical criticisms of DAZN. For many years, Arum was among the platform’s most vocal detractors in the United States, openly questioning its subscriber reach and raising concerns about the implications for fighters tied to the service. This significant development follows the recent conclusion of Top Rank’s extensive and high-profile collaboration with ESPN.
