Arum, King Side Against Floyd Mayweather

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Both sides have their points, promoters make boxers big but they can take advantage of fighters, it's a real messy situation.

Mayweather made alot of money with both HBO and Arum. He was making above-market paydays for all his fights. It's OK to be critical of how Arum does business, but PBF has to remember that they were partners-in-crime.

Floyd still harbors some resentment for that shady **** that Arum tried with the Margarito fight.

floyds right.. i always felt that way the fighters take the risk of there life...

What Mayweather is doing is great, I just hope he does a better job then Delahoya cause Delahoya is turning into another Arum or King, boxing needs some good promotors who looks out for fighters.

Don King should keep his dirty mouth shut, most of his fighters are broke today, even Mike Tyson who made around 350 mil in his career is broke.

Arum and King are bad for boxing, they fix fights, they steal money from their fighters, the pay judges, the pay referees, the pay fighters to take a dive, I hope they both disappear soon.

Floyd is playing with fire in here and think he will get robbed against Hatton if he comes against Arum and Don King both promoters are very very powerful and influncal at the same time. If he want to comment do it when you already retired dont risk unneccary enemies

The fight won't be going the distance. PBF won't get robbed.


He's going to stop Hatton in 8 or 9 rounds.

yup, or mayweather is going to win so convincingly that if he does get robbed, the state commission where ever there fighting at will have to over turn in

Promoters do do a big part of it.Although they take a huge chunk out your money.My suggestion is when you're really big and popular? Then get your own promotional company cause you can promote yourself then.

Except, as plenty have pointed out, almost every single one of these promotional companies set up by stars such as Lennox Lewis, Prince Naseem Hamed and Roy Jones Jr. are actually more like shell companies set up by HBO to keep these stars in the fold.

They are unable to promote their own fights without a co-promoter, and they sure as heck aren't ever seen promoting shows when they're not fighting -- quick, when was the last time you heard of Lennox Lewis or Roy Jones promoting a show?

Winky Wright's promotion ended up being another facade, this one supported by Golden Boy. If Mayweather truly does go forward with his own promotional venture, I expect it to be similar, though I wouldn't be surprised if he was one of the lone guys to really try and strike out on his own at some point in the future.

floyd is right to speak out against arum and king. promoters should not be making more then their fighters. I mean look what happened to diego corralles and gary shaw. I hope mayweather promotions becomes a force in the industry to really benefit the boxer.

And with floyd's next three fights bringin him about 100 million he should use that money wisely and hire a top flight ceo to run his promotional company properly.
