That is something that I would expect out of an unsavory character like Don King. Not a Harvard educated lawyer.
But the more I watch Bob operate the more I wouldn't put it past him. Especially after seeing that interview with JMM where claims he was told it was ""business not personal."
What say you?
I have to admit that thoughts of the Clottey fight ran through my mind this past weekend, when JCC Jr fought Rubio.
Rubio did not look at all like the same guy that took out Lemieux. It was almost as if he was holding back.
But then again Chavez Jr. is a big middleweight.
Rubio IMO has been paid to lose to Ouma, Pavlik, Chavez Jr.
The guy that beat Lemieux doesnt show up when he gets to the big stage.
He had Ouma out in the first round, then let himself get outworked to lose a UD.
Talked about power and knockouts and did jack **** against Pavlik.
You guys just saw the same thing against JCC Jr.

Yes. Clottey.
no question Arum fix fights...and so does Oscar and GBP especially for guys like Chavez Jr and Canelo...guys that are not really all that talented or skilled...but because of their Following, both Promotions want to cash in both fighters fame in Mexico
but you can only protect these guys for so long, eventually a Mandatory will come along and expose them all
when you keep everything IN HOUSE...I think fans should be suspicious and it shows in the JMM fight with Pacquiao, we seen that nothing really has changed with Pacquiao since they last fought...Arum was just Feeding him SLOW FLAT FOOTED FIGHTERS
Arum should be nominated for an OSCAR for Best Writer and Best Director For A Boxers Career lol He did a great job with Oscar and has done a great job with Pacquiao
LOLmfaoheheheeee....Like Clottey had a chance. thats what it is...All one big scam. Lets pick the smallest little Filipino fighter and pay off all his fights and hope it never leaks out in the mainstream and nobody ever comes clean and exposes the truth. Lets put our career and names and freedom on the line and risk it all on Manny Pacquiao! lol lol I am so entertained by this level of stupidity heheeeeeee
I have to admit this is a good point and Prbly the best post I've ever seen from you but also it's bob arum were talking about Harvard lawyer he's got friends in high places and friends in low high places of you know what I'm saying so I'm sure he could keep something quite if he wanted to and if it went to court what's the point of having money if you can't use it to stay outta jail mayweathers proof of that
so if arum has to bribe pac's opponent to win fights, what does that tell you? pac is really not that good, no? that's why pbf is such a coward. take the test, pac! i want $100 million! i want 70/30! no test, no fight! no training in philippines! may 5th, cinco de mayo, take it or leave it! 50/50 is off the table!
what a joke.
:bigeyes:
That's because you're thinking this through with childish notions.
White collar crime has always been easier to turn the other cheek toward than blue collar crime. That's because white collar crime is usually committed by college educated men. You can thank those same guys for the American economy, the housing crisis, the broken American healthcare system and a plethora of other crimes against the people.
You make a great point.
With Don King he was a street thug and had ties to organized crime, so you kind of expected him to do shady sh*t.
But since Bob Arum is Ivy League educated I guess it's just harder for me to picture him behaving like a criminal. That is naive on my part though, you are absolutely right.
And I wasn't aware that Arum had already been caught bribing judges and fixing fights.
HURR U R FLOMO DURR FLOMO FLOMO!! !!
Did these kids drop out of school in the 3rd grade just like their pinoy idol? It's sad that they don't even ponder at the thought that Bob Arum is killing the sport that they claim to watch and enjoy.
LMAO at these idiot flomos just exposed themselves how stupid they are. Pac before Arum became his promoter he was already a 3 divisions champ and 2 lineal champ by the age of 24. Beating Sasakul, Ledwaba, Barrera, and Marquez 1 (scoring error) just proved Pac doesnt need anybody like Arum to win in a fight. Arum became Pacs promoter only in 2nd Morales vs Pac. Why thsese retarded flomos cant admit Pac is a great fighter capable of beating any opponent and thats includes Mayweather?
I don't think he works Honest like paying out front..Instead he will lay out a path that benefits your career if you lose this fight.. He lets you draw the conclusion that winning the fight may not be in your best interests.This is how the professionals do things while never breaking a Law.
you are probably right....but any fighter with pride and honor would never agree to that. so lets say this is what happened to clottey. clottey is a chump for doing it. which i would honestly not rule out. i could see a lot of guys out there that would do that.

if arum paid me money to lose to pac, id get the money and still ko him. what can arum do afterwards? sue me for breach of contract to lose?
Why would he give you the extra beforehand?
That's just my opinion. It's the opinion of the guy in your avi too, interestingly enough. But no, I don't buy the fight, I don't buy the outcome of the fight, I don't buy them partnering up two weeks later, I don't buy none of that.
Hmm...OK.
Sorry pals, your pinoy idol is nothing but a fraud who refuses to take tests, cherry-picks, weight drains, and on top of that his promoter is the most corrupt person in the sport.
The sanctioning bodies, and boxing commissions are far more corrupt than what Arum is. Not even sure if Arum is the most corrupt promoter in the sport. He might be. And, even if he is not he is up there.
Well duh he lost what do u expect him to say? I fought my heart out but I robbed? If u guys really think the fight was fixed they would make it that obvious and have clottey come in without even trying to throw?
flomos still in denial ?
manny is just too good , deal with it !! PPV king baby
