Bob Arum, the promoter for Top Rank, talked to reporters over the weekend about where his firm is as they look for a new home for their broadcasts after their deal with ESPN ended. He also talked about Dana White wanting to modify the Ali Act. Here are some brief tips from professionals. Arum on helping Top Rank find a new TV partner "You can see what's going on with streaming and the networks. When we make our new deal, we want it to be with the best chance of getting exposure. We're being very careful about where we're going, who we're going with, and whether it's going to be streaming, over the air, or a mix of the two. "And that's why I left all of my people in Las Vegas. They are having meetings with different companies right now. We see that Paramount realized the value of combat sports and paid UFC a huge amount of money. While we don't expect to get the same amount of money, I think it's a good sign that NBC, Peacock, Starz, and other companies that program buy all or part of our product. "In other words, we might not be able to strike an exclusive contract with just one company, but we can make deals with two or three and put the sausage together to get the most exposure for our product, which is what we want. "Netflix is always in the game because they have so much money." But I don't think Netflix is interested in boxing on a regular basis. They would rather spend a lot of money on what they think would be a huge event and present it that way... I think Canelo vs. Crawford is the first actual fight they've shown on Netflix. It's a big fight, and it will garner a lot of viewers throughout the world. About Dana White's desire to alter the Ali Act "I think that's exactly what he's trying to do: weaken fighters' bargaining power. The Ali Act has worked very, very well, and it's raised boxing purses to an all-time high." It's fair. These fighters put their lives and health on the line every time they go into the ring. They should be paid well. If that happened to boxing, it would be a tragedy.
