BoxinG is BleeDing B/C of BOB ARUM: The Contradictions, Lies, and Hypocrisy.

[deanrw]

Arum is willing to put his Bread and Butter (Cotto) in with your unbeatable beast (Mayweather)

Pavlik is fighting Lockett as Lockett is some idiots Idea of a Mandatory Challenger. Arum cannot help that.

Winky needs to get his ass in a tuneup fight because as it stands right now, he does not deserve a title shot.

Sure Arum is an ass, but so is every other blood sucking promotor out there trying to sell the fans loads of trash while they protect their investments. ODLH and Hatton are not being discussed as repeat opponents for Floyd on the merit of what the fans want, it is all about the money honey.

Arum was willing to let Cotto tee off with Mosley, that was a risk and he took it. He is no worse than anyone else. If Golden Boy was truly Golden, he would not be fighting that chubby little guy soon. If Mayweather the promoter had a set of balls, he would not be out there playing the entertainer role and instead would give the fans what they want.


Your entire post smells of excuse. You are trying to demonize Arum, for the pure motivation of making Mayweather look justified in ducking Cotto. I see right through your Bull****.

Does Cotto give you nightmares?

In the words of Bob arum "I was lying yesterday telling the truth today"

I'm afraid that everybody in the sport is a hypocrite, It just goes that some people have a bigger influence than most!

Everyone can be proven a hypocrite if you only go far enough back to find some small part of a quote that would prove your point.

Winky vs Pavlik would definitly be a fight worth watching. I'd like to see how Pavlik deals with that defense.

The reason Bob Arum is willing to put Cotto in against Mayweather is because it's a win/win. He makes more money with that fight than any other fight in the sport- no other fighter in his stable is going to be able to bring that much money into Arum's pocket as Cotto could fighting Floyd.

If Cotto wins he now represents the biggest thing in the sport- and also almost certainly gets more cash to shove under his mattress with a rematch. If Cotto losses, he just made a **** load of money and has his one loss to the pound for pound champion.

Cotto winning will put him on top, Cotto losing won't damage his reputation much as he lost to the sport's best fighter - he'll still be a force at welterweight...so he doesn't stand to lose much.

So, saying Arum will put is top dog in against Mayweather isn't saying much. I mean, he only stands to gain from that fight...in reality he can't lose. Even a loss doesn't carry much negative impacts.

But then again.

You admire a coward who has ducked every top elite of every division he has stepped into.

A simple fact.

To be the best. Fight the best.

No excuses.

You're right Floyd Mayweather, the boxer who fights men for a living, is a coward. I hate it when people don't approve of a boxer's choices so they call him a *****, etc. He's a ****ing fighter. His career is violent. How can you call any boxer a coward? It's pretty much the height of ******ity.

If Mayweather came out of the closet, Horus would be ****ing guys within the week.
