The past month has been kind to Arum

Damn, Arum has more rematches up his sleeve, than Marcos Maidana created for himself from '09-'11. Ortiz rematch Khan rematch Morales rematch ...and still, a Guerrero fight that got cancelled, still waits in the wings.

Im sorry but Jessie vargas sucks. he's a likable kid but like everybodys saying hes very average.

Fierce;13202815']He had a rough 2012. Old man deserves this. how u figure? PAC Marquez 5, Bradley pacman did close to a million, Martinez vs Chavez was a success,nonito foy??

I just don't see that with that kid. Can't see Vargas going far at all. What top flight fighter is he really going to beat? That dude is straight average IMO... don't see what's so great about him

Arum produced another star last week in Alvarado, aside from Provodnikov. And I think Vargas is gaining momentum. I just don't see that with that kid. Can't see Vargas going far at all. What top flight fighter is he really going to beat?

Ruslan Provodnikov IS NOT a Top Rank fighter. He is a Banner Promotions fighter, Art Pelullo promotes him NOT Bob Arum. That said I think Crawford is the real find. Never heard of the kid coming out of Omaha but man was he impressive. Interesting to see if TR promotes him as the anti-Broner in the 135-140 weights. Oh dang, really? Whoops.... I think he'll try and still make it off with him though... if not... I'd say he'd put Vargas in there for name value. Crawford is a find though, really impressed with his fight last Saturday Might aswell keep matching these fighters together over and over, i think thats as good as it gets until Arum does a Don King and becomes irrelevent. Arum's old, he'll die before that happens

I wouldn't mind Provodnikov vs Lucky Boy or Jesse Vargas

arum needs to sign gamboa and have him move up to 140

And the thing is... he can fall back on all these rematches in the end. Pac/Marquez 5 Rios/Alvarado 3 Provo/Bradley 2 Might aswell keep matching these fighters together over and over, i think thats as good as it gets until Arum does a Don King and becomes irrelevent.

Really fan friendly fight so far, although no one expected Bradley-Provodnikov to end up like that.

This is the forgotten piece of the puzzle. Khabib gives Arum so much more flexibility in his mixing and matching from 40-47 A piece that has just entered the equation is Terence Crawford. I think he's capable of beating guys like Lundy and Soto, so Arum should get up on that. Crawford/Lundy and Allakhverdiev/Soto or Aydin on the same card.

This whole situation is funny, it's like Top Rank got loaded with more ammo.

Arum also has yet to use Allakhverdiev in any meaningful way, so yes, he is in a very lucky position. This is the forgotten piece of the puzzle. Khabib gives Arum so much more flexibility in his mixing and matching from 40-47 Then you got Jesse Vargas too.

Arum got lucky with the Bradley vs Rulsan fight being what it turned out to be. Nobody saw that type of back and forth war coming. We already knew what we were going to get with Alvardo vs Rios. The things is though Alvarado and Rios took fights off each others career with those 2 fights. If they do a 3rd fight as each others next fight their managers would be fvcking fools. They both need to rest and fight stay busy cab driver. Marquez and Manny are both on their last legs and runs in boxing. Marquez koing Manny has his Jordan vs the Utah Jazz moment and should go out like that but he is not. IMO Arum has fights on paper because of performances and name recognition but in terms of what will happen on fight night remains to be seen. Marquez and Manny are at that point where you never know if this is the night father time catches them no matter who they are fighting(elite or a cab driver). Bradley is ready to roll and be where he is for a while. Ruslan, Rios and Alvarado won't last long taking that kind of punishment and fighting in consistent wars like that that. That's what people pay for.... the fights on paper. Nobody knows how a fight is going to go down until the bell rings man.

And the thing is... he can fall back on all these rematches in the end. Pac/Marquez 5 Rios/Alvarado 3 Provo/Bradley 2 Damn, you basically hit all the nails on the head. There's really nothing else to add to this other than luck has been on Bob's side the past few months. The RESULTS of those fights are what strengthened his stable a little more. Marquez/Bradley is PPV worthy if he makes it around September with the Mexican holiday around that time.

True, Ruslan made a name for himself. Who wouldn't wanna see him fight again? Tim defiantly made more fans and kinda got fans to not think about the PAC fight as the only thing that defines him. He's a tough guy. Not a fan but he's a good fighter. Alvarado just made a bigger name for himself Saturday and hopefully Bob doesn't diss him. TR is looking ok so far. Fck Arum though. I can't stand that old piece of sht. And the thing is... he can fall back on all these rematches in the end. Pac/Marquez 5 Rios/Alvarado 3 Provo/Bradley 2
