There are three kinds of sparring in the fight game. One is the daily gymnasium sparring between fighters.

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum gave us an update on middleweight star Kelly Pavlik, currently staying at the Betty Ford Clinic. Pavlik is trying to overcome his addition to alcohol. Arum also gave a response to a recent interview that appeared on BoxingScene.com with promoter Lou DiBella, who said Sergio Martinez would murder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a potential fight. Chavez is the silver champion at middleweight, which makes him a mandatory challenger to the full champion Martinez.

With his 79th birthday looming large and with 40 years on top of the boxing promotion totem pole, Bob Arum does not need to run any marketing tests or poll fight fans as to who might be the most commercial next opponent for his cash cow, Manny Pacquiao.

First off, like every miscreant shown on "COPS," Jim Martin is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

It's not every day that you can enjoy blow by blow reporting from the lips of Bob Arum.

It could soon be the longest list in boxing. I'm talking about the list of fighters who want no parts of 35 year old, one punch KO superstar Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez.

Promoter Artie Pelullo is tying the low key sell for now.

Some people, and you know who you are, have a dual justice system when it comes to worthy boxing matches.

Nobody milks a cash cow like Bob Arum. And, with Manny Pacquiao likely hitting the 1.4 milllion mark for his PPV TV bout against Antonio Margarito, Arum finds himself in a position of udder delight, as we say around the barnyard.

GRAPEVINE, TEXAS—It is indeed true that, in prior attempts to make a Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao super bout, Bob Arum of Top Rank acted like a raging bull in a China shop.
