Promotional politics ruins the reputation of the sport, because it prevents the best fighting the best, simply because of the selfishness of promoters, who work for the benefit of their bank accounts rather than the benefit of Boxing.
This greedy piece of shit is actually trying to justify a Pacman-Margacheato matchup. No way should any comission let that cheating muthafuka box after what he did; then having the nerve to protest his innocence; get the fuk outta here! as if the guy didnt know his trainer was putting plaster in his gloves! giv me a break! Its an insult to the intelligence of loyal boxing fans! Bob knows hell sell out cowboy stadium easily 4 that match simply based on Pac being such a big draw and Margo being a Mexican.
Even if Shane lost to Batty Boi Floyd, Pac would be better off fighting Shane in November, simply because Shane destroyed Margo, and is one of the best possible opponents for him after Gayweather.
It's obvious Bob loves In-house money, hence Pac-Cotto, Cotto-Foreman, Cotto-Clottey, Pac-Clottey, Cotto-Margo, among many more in-house matchups, and now he wants Margo-Pac!
In your opinion, does such matchmaking hinder the reputation of boxing?
An overwhelming No. He is for the good of himself only. He doesnt even care too much about his fighters, watch him carefully after one of his fighters loses, he looks at them like they let him down or like they left the milk out to go bad.
He is a bitter old man trying to better everyone, the only one he doesnt tango with is King because King wouldnt take Arums shit.
I will never pay money towards something that Bob Arum is involved in. I believe Bob Arum thinks that I, like all other boxing fans, am a dumb f*Ck who is just waiting for him to bait me with his next sparkling, polished turd so that I can give him my money. That will never happen.
The more of his polished turds that you buy, the bigger the piece of shit his next shit will be.
Boxing will continue to suffer until the day Bob Arum dies.
No, he working for the good of his pocket.
He prevented Lopez-Caballero and Pavlik-Abraham.
He acts as if he wants to negotiate with Mayweather, but in reality he doesn't care if it happens or not. He wants to keep getting 100% of the promoters' share (when it's an in-house fight) instead of splitting it 50/50 for a bigger part with GBP at boxing's expense.
He would love to make Pacquiao-Margarito and keep taking the full promoters cut of an estimated 1 million buys from Pacquiao fights, instead of half or a third from 3 million buys.
He doesn't give a shit about boxing.
