Why doesn't the media call out Bob Arum?

Does he have them all in his pocket? Are they afraid of his money and power? The only person I've really seen say anything negative about Bob is Dan Rafael, and he hasn't exposed him the way he should either. What's the deal? None of this. On a global scale Bob Arum is small potatoes til' Manny wins the Phillipine Presidency. At that point Bob Arum becomes de facto ruler of a powerful island nation and thus a global player. Then the NYT will write flowery prose. Boxing isn't big enough to show up on their radar.

Arum is buried deep in Michael Marley....also in Thomas Hauser

You throw these words like "retard" around very freely. Are you aware what it actually means?? Not the sort of thing to throw on someone who disagrees with you. How can you have meaningful discussion with an "agreeable person"......?? I, and every normal boxing enthusiast know that Arum went to Showtime for one fight, but his relationship with HBO is just the same as always, meaning...good. Although he and all the other promoters have a legitimate complaint against the "special deal" given to Golden Balls. His duty is to maximize the income from every source including HBO, and he balances the fees with the long term advantages. HBO needed a little lesson and Arum gave it to them. The same way he took the MannyP-Margarito fight away from Las Vegas, not even bothering to apply for a licence. Most of the decent posters have been chased away from this site by a huge influx of foul-mouthed, lunatic conspiracy obsessed crazies. I don't class you as one of them, but you do jump into some silly, half-baked convictions with no facts. As Elvis once said in a movie, something like " believe only half what you see and none of what you read (hear?).....". arums the only one stopping the mayweather pacquiao fight not floyd and now that the truth is out you still blame floyd for reasons unbeknownst to me and everybody else. you can be a fan of manny and not a fan of arum. not sure if you knew that. anyways as i said all the facts are out now and its blatantly obvious that toprank is stoping the fight not floyd. if you continue to blame despite all of the facts then i have to belief your a racist or you are blinded by ratial/national pride and are not intelligent enough to see its bob arum. thats why i called you a retard.

arum has closed his promotions off to journalists he doesnt like. He bad mouthed hbo because they wouldnt support sh!tty ass pac v mosley. Went showtime and conveniently never released the ppv buy numbers. You know a lil advice you can be a manny fan and still criticize bob arum and toprank. Dont be a retard by choice.

Bob Arum belongs to the same group as the people who control the majority of the media. Won't go in completely, but the educated know what it is. lol @ anyone who believed Floyd was ever 'scared."

you're talking nonsense. Arum depends on the media to get his comments (always badly distorted) out to the public, like all other promoters. Have you never heard that publicity, any kind, even bad publicity, is better than no publicity at all. It's astonishing what conspiracies the crazies think up. They all need to be in mental homes. I suppose most of you are on welfare, can't imagine any crazies holding down a normal job, like a genuine human being. arum has closed his promotions off to journalists he doesnt like.

Jim Lamps and Larry well everybody at HBO pretty much knows what the old fart was doing that's why that Ross guy got fired from HBO because he didn't want to make that b.s fight Mosley vs Pac on HBO. So because he was on to Bob Arum so Bob made a deal with Showtime then want to HBO for Marquez vs Pac and f**ked Showtime that boss at showtime got the new job at HBO and the guy that took over at Showtime used to work for GBP so sooner or later people will not let Scum bag Arum ruin Boxing any longer but it's up to us boxing freaks not to buy his bull s**t fights anymore. Astonishing.....all in one breath, no punctuations...........Amazing...........

Cuz he'll cut them off completely . The sad thing about the boxing comunity is that its pretty much sewn in regardless of major promotion or not. So arum can afford to shut out espn or whoever he doesnt like and still turn a dime out of his sh!t inhouse fights. Smh anyways im completely stopping watching any toprank fights besides gamboa or rios. Lol You're talking nonsense.

Because they are scared that any negative pieces on arum will mean 1. He doesnt give them interviewsin the future, or limited access to toprank staff etc. 2. They lose the favours, benefits or "gifts" that arum and toprank give them for favourable stories or exposure. Just like promoters pay judges or offer inducements and favours like hotel and travel upgrades, dont tell me they dont do the same with certain media people. The shills are easy to identify.

because he has them in his pockets :cool2:

The media is gonna tear them apart when the announce peterson or cotto. Theyre cake walk fights forr pacquiao its blatantly obvious he is scared of floyd. If 39 year old lightweight marquez takes away all your advantages with timing and counter punching 35 year old welter weight floyd with speed and reach is gonna tear pac a new *******.

cool...give me your points now flomo, since you would be calling floyd junior usain bolt when he fights pac... bro, floyd's history has me beliveing he has courage issues for a prizefighter, thats just my personal feeling about the guy...do i think he is an excellent fighter?...no doubt about it, but it is what it is until proven otherwise... well then , why are you so fond of wikipedia?..lol....yes and yes.... I never said I was fond of wikipedia. I just made some changes to Bob's page since tons of people check it.

I,ll take you up on that because i think Floyd has nothing to run from he will stand like his last fights and take Pac apart , just like JMM did with Pac but Floyd is sooooo much better than JMM . 10 to 1 , all my points on it . cool...give me your points now flomo, since you would be calling floyd junior usain bolt when he fights pac... Manny has courage, for sure. But, to bash Floyd's courage is bull. Remember man that it was Manny, NOT FLOYD, that straight up walked away from negotiations refusing testing in Early 2010. Everything was agreed upon and they walked away, announced Clottey a day or two later. That doesn't seem strange to you??? Also, it was Manny, NOT FLOYD, that didn't even agree to random testing until Late 2011, almost 2 years later, and he's reportedly ready and set to test. Also, it's Manny, NOT FLOYD, that is traight up refusing to fight on May 5th. Manny has ABSOLUTELY NO LEGIT REASON TO REFUSE MAY 5TH, NONE AT ALL. Give me one good reason that they are refusing to fight on May 5th, the date they know Floyd is coming back, give me one......... Pacquiao is beign exposed as the one avoiding the fight, whether it's him or Arum or Koncz, whatever......everyone is coming down on Manny and rightfully so. His official website even posted something that said he would agree to May 5th and than it was taken down a night later, I mean it's a joke at this point. Everybody and their brother knows that Manny can't refuse May 5th and still come out looking like he wants the fight. Just step up and fight on May 5th, don't claim ecomic reasons as why it can't be done. Everything was agreed upon for them to fight in Spring 2010, i didn't hear any bulls**t about some random make-shift stadium that would seat 40,000+ back then, nope. At first, we heard Manny can't fight in May at all because of a cut, but then when Floyd was suppose to go to jail in January, Marquez was in play for Cinco De Mayo. Than, when it was reported that Floyd isn't going to jail until June, the cut came back into play, as well as the stadium BS. Team Pacquiao is looking really sh*tty right now, no matter what you say man. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR MANNY NOT TO ACCEPT MAY 5TH, NONE, AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. bro, floyd's history has me beliveing he has courage issues for a prizefighter, thats just my personal feeling about the guy...do i think he is an excellent fighter?...no doubt about it, but it is what it is until proven otherwise... Yeah, I went to high school and college as well. How about you? well then , why are you so fond of wikipedia?..lol....yes and yes....

did'nt your teacher teach you not to ever use wikipedia to back your arguments?....oh my bad, did you go to highschool?... Yeah, I went to high school and college as well. How about you?

you'd be right if my hero was floyd junior..but he aint.....i think he has courage issues for a prizefighter but it it what it is... if the fight happens , id give you a 10:1 odds that floyd would run like a mothafukaa from pacqauio...lol Manny has courage, for sure. But, to bash Floyd's courage is bull. Remember man that it was Manny, NOT FLOYD, that straight up walked away from negotiations refusing testing in Early 2010.
