Jorge Arce, Fernando Beltran Deny TV Deal Friction

By Rafael Soto

Former four division world champion Jorge "Travieso" Arce and the President of Zanfer Promociones, Fernando Beltran, maintain a solid friendship, and both men firmly deny rumors of potential friction due to Arce's decision to join the commentary team of Televisa Deportes, which is the main competitor of TV Azteca - the television partner of Beltran.

"Beltran is my compadre. We have a great friendship and affection for each other. He not only remains as my adviser on a professionally level but also with personal issues and we are like family. I am the only boxer who has ties with his family outside of boxing. I am and I will be eternally grateful with the way he guided my entire career," Arce said.
