Well, just like I predicted, Arum is blaming Haymon for everything, and also claiming he won't do anymore business with HBO.
"Well, he can talk Paul Williams till he's blue in the face. My position is clear - they jerked me around for two weeks. It wasn't Dan, I don't blame Dan - he got jerked around by Machiavelli. I don't want to hear about Paul Williams, I don't want to be involved with Paul Williams and I sent a letter to Dan stating just that."
OK, but is this edict forever?
"Forever, for anything," was Arum's retort.
What if the offer was raised to $10 million then?
"It doesn't matter."
