      This is such a **** fight...Pav-B-Hop is just a crap fight all the way around...At 170 what is the point? B-Hop is old and extremely boring and he'll make Pav look awkard and make the fight a total bore...Plus it on PPV just more reason to limit Pav's exposure...I don't care about BHOP and this nonsense matchup...Boxing was havn a great start but after Cotto-Margo we are getting ****ED ON ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THESE PPV's!!!!!!!!!

        At least Golden boy is moving and shaking things up, he has gotten involved with AEG to start promoting fights around the world instead of only in Vegas. He has gotten involved with the US amateur boxing program to maybe bring more interest to the future of the sport. He brings major sponsors to the fights he promotes, he is thinking outside the box instead of doing things exactly the same.

        He has talked about making a pension plan for his fighters and bringing boxing back to network TV, I know people love to hate on GBP but they just ignore Arum ****ing up the deal he had with Versus and taking boxing away from network TV.

          I think if Arum retire or dies, I don't think Top Rank disappears.. Top Rank owns the lower division and has the Big 3, Pacquiao, Pavlik and Cotto... Either someone replaces him.

            I usually take sides with Arum over GBP, but the way Arum stole from Versus is indefensible.

              If Pavlik beats Hopkins more impressively than Calzaghe did, it will add fuel to the flame for a Calzaghe-Pavlik clash sometime next year.

                A fight with Hopkins is much better than a fight with Rubio or Mora... l0l

                  Maybe, but they weren't going to be on PPV.

Cotto is the same, they all say"whatever they want, is who i will fight". What is he feeding these guys to make them all say that? Unless these guys are pushing for all this **** behind the scenes which i doubt, i blame Arum. no one cares about kelly vs bhop. the only real fights for him are AA, Sturm, Joe, and the elite of 168! Pac needs to forget about hatton or odlh,and stay at 35! so many good matchups for him there. Bob is gonna seriously **** up the sport with all this bull****. I am so disgusted!
                    In Arum's cyberlife he is in fact Ultimateboxa!

                      yeah top rank is not in bad shape.

                      they have the best and most popular fighters in 3 of boxings most popular divisions. lightweight , middleweight and welterweight.

                      and heavyweight is **** right now so those 3 are even more important.
