Arum claims MGM Mirage putting freeze on Top Rank

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

So if not Valero, you want Julio Diaz or another tune-up fight? You know he can't fight Campbell, Guzman, Juan Diaz or any LW out there.. Is it hard to understand?

An inexperienced, unknown, SMALLER Valero is GREAT.
Yeah.. it is July 5th, and NO LIGHTWEIGHTS are available for November. Nice job, Subic.

Check,

This would be a relative non-issue if it weren't for Slippery Bob.

If Bob said that Pac has gone through the murderer's row of Mexican SFW's and now wants a bit of a break, I would understand and even agree. Time for Pac to make some $$$.

But Arum turned down a Guzman offer saying that he "needs pac to do 350K PPV buys". then, he goes and fights guys with no profile whatsoever.

HUH?

you know how boxing promotions work.

guzman is a credible threat. valero is a solid win but highly doubtful could he beat manny.

guzman is someone you fight only for big money or a belt. let joan do what he needs to this year and he'll get a big payday next year with manny.

diaz fight didn't do well so he's setting up an excuse why the next pacquiao fight will NOT be in vegas?

The Pac-Diaz fight did terribly. Pacquiao is not a draw.

isn't katsidis , diaz , marquez , campbell , casamayor and guzman all already done deals to fight each other?

I think it's a matter of time before GBP and Top Rank stop working with each other again.

Which is where manny needs to say "we'll fight down the line, and it will be bigger".

The truth is that manny can't (or at least, hasn't) sold a fight. His Mexican opponents have been the draw.

okay. let's get this thread back on topic.

uncle bob is not a ****** man.

there is a reason for everything he does and say.

what could possibly be the reason for him stating this about golden boy and the casino?

he's cancelling the valero fight?

diaz fight didn't do well so he's setting up an excuse why the next pacquiao fight will NOT be in vegas?

a november fight is scheduled for hatton-paulie is the reason nov. 8 is not available to top rank......an excuse to pay paulie step aside money which he said he wouldn't do?

Before, HBO gives Golden Boy special treatment.. I won't be surprised if Oscar is doing the same thing here... Hatton-Paulie is a GoldenBoy fight... I don't think it matters anyway if there's a 2-3 weeks gap.. Maybe also Mr. Oscar can get a date and venue easily all day in Vegas.

[Scott9945]

no need to get racial , bud.

it's a thread on top rank and mgm for god's sake.

He is a shameless bigot with no class.

The Pac-Diaz fight did terribly. Pacquiao is not a draw.

i know they didn't sell out the arena but any figures on ppv yet? 200k would be ok.

i wouldn't say manny isn't a draw. if we compare him to oscar he isn't. but compared to most guys he is. he's not doing too bad for the lower weight classes.

[MakeDamnSure]

isn't katsidis , diaz , marquez , campbell , casamayor and guzman all already done deals to fight each other?

ALL those fights are signed and sealed.. I'm wondering why he can't understand that..
