Major honours
Founded by Bob Arum in 1966, this promotion has been drawing up the matchmaking map of American boxing for more than half a century. A former lawyer, Arum started by selling Muhammad Ali's fights, then signed the biggest names of every generation since: the prime years of Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard, the box-office run of Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao, and, from the 2010s onward, Vasiliy Lomachenko, Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue's American-market fights. The 2015 Mayweather-Pacquiao bout was a co-promotion with a rival company that nonetheless drew roughly 4.6 million PPV buys and more than $410 million in revenue in the US alone — a box-office record that still stands. In 2017 Top Rank signed a long-term broadcast deal with ESPN that reduced its dependence on pay-per-view, and Arum, born in 1931, still sits as chairman making the matches.

Rivalry
Top Rank's longtime rival was Don King's promotion, and since the 2000s Golden Boy and Premier Boxing Champions have taken that place. Because boxing's structure blocks matchups when fighters sit under rival promotions, this rivalry has repeatedly delayed the fights fans wanted by years.
