Comments Thread For: Dana White Lashes Out at Arum Over Pacquiao-Marquez

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

UFC President Dana White has lashed out at Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, over the making the fourth fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. White, who admits he bet money on Marquez, told 5th Round that Pacquiao's career was placed in jeopardy by putting him back in the ring with the opponent who gave him the most trouble.

If it was White's decision, he would have matched Pacquiao with Timothy Bradley, who won a controversial decision over the Filipino star in June. He predicts Pacquiao would have knocked Bradley out and then placed himself in position for Floyd Mayweather Jr. or another major fight.

I am all for hating Bob Arum, I didn't even agree with the fight but criticizing Arum for making a fight because Pacquiao was likely to lose is beyond deplorable. As a promoter it is stupid in the sense that he has ruined his product but that only illustrates what is wrong with the sport.

arum isn't to blame.......

And Dana White claims he makes the fights that people want to see and what is the best fight. Yet he just claimed he wouldn't put his cash cow in danger for what the fans want. Dude, is the exact same type of promoter Arum is.

Hold up,hold up i thought Dana was the one who said the best should fight the best..now he is saying it was dumb to make the fight against someone who could beat Manny?

[hectari]

Dana White is spot on.

Did you see the look on Arum's face when Pacquiao got knocked out? He had the look of a guy who just lost his cash cow, and also Arum had to psyche himself and hide with a poker face at the bar after the fight he was getting buzzed on vodka, acting like he was happy with the outcome when he really knew he pushed his luck.

I know Marquez would KO Manny, you never put a fighter who has another fighters style nightmare against your guy, Arum's logic was that JMM has no power and that the fight would go to the cards and PAc would get the decision.

Dana White is 100 percent right, Pacquiao should have been put in with Bradley, but the ppv numbers were low and Arum is a greedy bastard, and knew Pac Marquez drew over a million buys, but ARum didn't know that the Bradley rematch would have broke a million buys, because the robbery had people talking so people would have ordered the rematch.

Arum already destroyed the Juan Ma vs Gamboa fight, and the Pacquiao Maywather fight, and is the Donaire vs. Mares fight next?
