Golden Boy has a better complete roster and more elite fighters.
TR has a very shallow roster (compared to GB), but they do have a much better prospect pool IMO.
Put it like this. Showtime is only Golden Boy, they strictly show fights from that promotion. HBO is lacking right now, and they're Top Rank PLUS every other promotion (DiBella, Goossen, K2, etc..).
I'd choose Showtime/GB over Top Rank/HBO all day at this point.
HBO (Home Box Office) and I will tell you why. When you took at ESPN's
top P4P fighters in the world 9 out of those 10 fighters on the list fight with
HBO. The only fighter on that list that appears on Showtime is Mayweather
now HBO is not just limited to Top Rank, I just need to clarify this, HBO has
promotional agreements with other promoters such as DiBella Entertainment
(Sergio Gabriel Martinez), Goosen Tutor Promotions (Andre Ward), K2, Eddie
Hearn and MatchRoom Sport (Carl Froch) so, HBO is not only just limited to
Top Rank Boxing. Showtime seems to be only limited to Golden Boy there is
a few times like on ShoBox series where other promoters might participate in
those events however, it's rare. FACT HBO in my opinion is better than CBS.

HBO & Top Rank have the better fighters.
7 of the Rings top 10 p4p fighters are with HBO, 3 are with ShowTime.
The best fighters Golden Boy/ShowTime have include; Floyd Mayweather, Danny Garcia, Adrien Broner, Saul Alvarez, David Haye, Quilins & Deontay Wilder. Only 2 of those guys are ppv stars [Mayweather & Alvarez] & only 3 of those guys are in any top 10 p4p list & 1 of them is a paper champion [Adrien Broner].
The best fighters HBO/TopRank have include; Pacquiao, Timothy Bradley, Donaire, Mikey Garcia, Marquez, Guillermo Ridondeaux, Andre Ward [promoted by Dan Goossen but an HBO fighter], Sergio Martinez [HBO fighter but promoted by DiBella E], Wladimir Klitschko & Gennady Golovkin [both HBO but promoted by K2].
ShowTime/Golden Boy dominate lightwelterweight, superwelterweight and somewhat welterweight [where you can't take undefeated Timothy Bradley & Pacquiao out of the equation yet].
Besides those divisions; HBO dominates.
HBO & Top Rank also have the best prostects and younger up and coming champions in boxing including Olympic kings Felix Verdejo, Vasyl Lomachenko among others.
Shotime/GoldenBoy, 1st cause that's where TMT is and better fight's are happening
showtime golden boy they have the better fighters and they put on better undercards and there not evolved with bob aum
Who's better? Why? What'd you prefer? But all I'm gonna say is Top Rank has looked like sh*t this year.
