Comments Thread For: Arum Says Network Deals Cause Snags With Golden Boy

And so does Floyd.

and.... "if Bob Arum doesn't want a fight, a fight won't be made. Said this for years".

Fak bob. He thinks were idiots??? Loyalty my @ss. Him n pac jumped ship on hbo for showtime:

You really are clueless when it comes to the business side. Having one fight and jumping ship are two different things and were involving two different fighters. So were Mares and GBP willing to take the fight on HBO? If you can't show they were willing to then shut up. This is a TWO sided standoff and BOTH sides are either to blame, or not to blame.

and.... "if Bob Arum doesn't want a fight, a fight won't be made. Said this for years".

And if Floyd doesn't want to, he will not. It takes a special kind of stupidity to not see how both sides are to blame. The list is endless on the obstackles both guys have put up. That is common knowledge and accepted by non testical suckers.

So he just went to the negotiation table with Pac to talk about his daily activities? lol

At least try and use the Margarito/Pwill/Martinez vs Mayweather negotiations. o wait....

Not that I don't think Arum is a scumbag in his own right, but I don't think GBP are saints either and clearly they have their own agenda too. People have complained for years about Pacquiao only fighting Top Rank guys. But what has Mayweather fought in the last 5 years? Golden Boy fighters. It makes no difference either way. I think both companies are about making money and both HAVE worked outside their umbrella with Dibella, Shaw, and a host of others. They're only hurting the sport from great fights being made. Inevitably it'll bite them in the ass when they have no other fights to make.

Cause TR fighters fight TR fighters. No agenda thats a fact. Look now with Nonito. Look how long and difficult it was for Martinez to get fight and i believe he had to sign away some rights. Floyd fights GBP foghters cause they have the class. If thats bot the case then why did we see bradley v pac and now bradley has no one, a fourth fight with JMM, and now possibly rios who hasnt even fought at WW.

They BOTH were serious but BOTH are Prima Donna's that wanted the fight on their own terms. Get it? Got it? GOOD! How the fuk LONG does it take folks to realize both Pac and Floyd are Prima Donna's who both want more control than they want the other guy to have???!!!! That is as obvious as a mountain.

Pac’s not the problem. Bob Arum is. Pac will sign multiple contracts paying him pennies. He don’t know any better. Bob Arum is the hold up and the fact that he tried to screw Floyd out of money back in the day doesn’t make things any better off when Floyd is forced to deal with Bob rather than Pac doing his own business.

Bob has the final say and Pac as a fighter, just does as he is told and takes what he is given. Which is to select a fighter that Bob tells him to select and takes the amount that Bob gives him.

We all know Bob, he’s been in the game for decades and If Bob wants a fight, he makes a fight. Nobody, not even the great little Floyd Mayweather can stop Bob from doing as he wishes. You’re giving Floyd too much credit while also thinking Pac can actually do as he wishes.

Doesn't Golden Boy have a fight coming up in a week or so that's on HBO??? Arum is a crusty old bastard!

[flint]

angry arum is lying. it is personal. the networks are not the problem. GOLDENBOY forked over $3 million for arum and donaire to split. they just wanted mares to fight donaire. the networds didnt have anything to do with the fallout. everybody was going to be compensated. arum destroyed it wih professional excuses.

[rckdees]

yeah scumbag bob does think fans are idiots and that's for more reasons than one, but if for one minute, you believe this cretin is loyal to any one network or any one sponsor, given the amount of decades he's been conducting his shady operation, he's probably right.
