Who has more pull? Bob Arum arguably has much more power and connections being that he has been at the epicenter of the sport for decades. He has obviously promoted some huge fights in which there was robberies....is it more likely that he has the upper immoral hand in this fight?
Or would Floyd Mayweather and Al Haymon have it? Floyd has produced an ample amount of money for Las Vegas becoming an almost folk hero of Sin City. He embodies the atmosphere the city puts forth and is very appreciated within the cities economy for his draw power with the gambling and service industry. Las Vegas would benefit with Floyd winning. Haymon may be the most powerful guy in boxing right now but he is still is a greenhorn. Is he so powerful that he may have the power to sway the judges for a fight of this magnitude?
Judges and ref get paid just a couple thousand or so per night. You probably just have to buy them dinner to get their favour. Don't need no big bucks or connections.
What?!? You guys serious??
Manny was robbed in '12
If there's any bs breweing it's from the TMT side
If this fight is close AT ALL, it'll go to TMT
No way they let that cash cow lose unless it's clear. Even then it's still a possibility
Arum may actually be looking for something like that, to create a trilogy
No one is more powerful than Bob Arum when it comes to Commissions and Judges.
I do think Al Haymon is more powerful when it comes to the NETWORKS, you know the HBO, Showtime, NBC, pulling strings there.
If there was a time for Arum to flex his muscle, it will be May 2nd.
I think its clearly Floyd and Al Haymon.
USADA never covered up no tests for Arum
The MGM Grand never bought Bob Arum a Buggatti
The NSAC never forced a fighter to change his opponents commission approved gloves the day before the fight
I've only seen one ref let a fighter's trainer jump into the ring and start a riot without getting DQ'd before
the list goes on and on
