the official F u arum! thread

I disagree with this. The controversy made Pacquiao/Marquez 4 bigger. The publicity it created is advertising on its own. Little wonder Arum's talking about breaking all PPV records with a rematch immediately after the fight. Even at this point it is borderline delusional to think that a 4th Marquez fight will do better numbers than a Mayweather fight. And while I agree that controversy can be a great selling point, I do not believe that is the case here. The reason being is that most people feel that Marquez was robbed more than once in this trilogy and aren't eager to see another "Bob Arum production".

Arum is a businessman first and foremost...in his mind several cashouts with lesser opponents is greater than one cashout with Mayweather (which he feels he'd be reduced to if mayweather wins) The truth is that Marquez is the more dangerous business venture. Manny got a controversial win and look what it did to his marketability. Just think if Marquez actually wins next time? A loss to floyd doesn't hurt marketability as much, it sets up a lucrative rematch, and all those other fights are still possible. The fans get what they want and Manny can still do huge numbers until he hangs his gloves up. Instead, TR has shown they have no problem screwing the fans over to keep their golden goose alive. And as long as we support their every endeavor, why should they? I personally will not buy another TR event unless its the match all the fans want to see.:boxing: I disagree with this.

I want someone to kill bob arum, just a few shots to the chest, nobody would truly care.

pac fans love arum he's their God ...this thread is gonna make them cry :bottle:

Arum only cares about making himself as wealthy as possible. He doesn't care what the fans want.

u are right, i dont want the floyd fight ANYMORE.....pac has lost his prowess , floyd should've fought him when he was on top of his game instead of cowering .....fukk floyd and his games.. Pactard :bottle::bottle::bottle:

Of course I do. I personally don't like watching Pacquiao v Marquez, I only watched it because everyone said it was controversial and wanted to form my own opinion. But I'm not blind to the reality that money talks in the professional world. well if we never get this fight i hope arum gets karma 4 fukking the fans, fighters and the sport.

u are right, i dont want the floyd fight ANYMORE.....pac has lost his prowess , floyd should've fought him when he was on top of his game instead of cowering .....fukk floyd and his games.. :bottle::bottle:

Just make a "Kill Arum movement" on facebook and get a ton of likes, maybe a crazy person would indeed assasinate arum and we would all be happy

ur a joke u dont actually want the fight u are right, i dont want the floyd fight ANYMORE.....pac has lost his prowess , floyd should've fought him when he was on top of his game instead of cowering .....fukk floyd and his games..

Of course I do. I personally don't like watching Pacquiao v Marquez, I only watched it because everyone said it was controversial and wanted to form my own opinion.
