Does Arum Deserve Credit for Margarito's success?

[ANDROID_DOES]

This idiot Luciano claims arum doesnt give a **** about margarito and that arum was pissed when margarito lost. So i ask you does arum give a **** about margarito and does he deserve credit for margarito's success? Arum has promoted Margarito like crazy for years now! He's reached out to winky, shane, mayweather looking for big fights for him only to get turned down. He secured a match with him last year with miguel cotto and margarito chose to fight his mandatory...lost and yet arum gets him another title shot and then puts him in the biggest fight of the year against miguel cotto and is now the ww champ. So does arum really not give a **** about margarito? He's been quoted many times stating the importance of mexicans and the ppv they generate. So does he not care about margarito like Luciano claims???

Luciano you are on ignore for this thread so we dont have to hear your dumb ass **** in this thread. I will let the posters decide and to be fair to your **** ass i will not post in this thread either. Poll is public.

He cares, he wouldn't have put him in with Cotto if he didn't.

[Fernando Torres]

If he didn't do it, then some other vulture would have bank rolled his career. The dirty yahood has lind his pockets from the pizzamans career. He didn;t do ****a ll but thebusiness side of things. It was pizza man who bled in the ring.

He cares about Margarito like any good business man cares about his assets.. does he care about Marg the person?.. probably not..

I can tell you that Arum wanted Cotto to win and was confident Cotto would win

no arum doesn't deserve credit for margaritos success. Margarito did this on his own. But also, Arum saw the potential in him and stuck too him. In other words Margarito would have done this with any promoter and he deserves it. If you're good, you're good no matter who you have on your side and Arum saw this and knew it but that doesn't mean that he deserves the credit for what Margarito did.

Of course or he wouldnt have given him Cotto.

My question to this thread is

Is Margarito a marketable guy??

I know hes a champion but it seems like hes a pug fighter, Being a boxing fan I will pay $50 dollars to watch him fight as well as any other PPV, but what about the casual fan? They barely know who he is and I dont think hes a big draw. Cotto was a bigger draw than margs and spoke english and spanish, plus he was being Sponsored by American Clothing Companies.

The biggest draws in Boxing right now are either retired or too old, Cotto was almost a breath of fresh air to boxing as far as commercialism is concerned.

Can they Market Margarito as the new staple for boxing or will he forever be a mexicans idol?

your wrong you must be new to this sport. You need a promoter to get you going and get you the big fights! A promoter/agent can make you or brake you and that's in any sport.

i think he does care about him because up to now margarito has been a very solid client for him. but if anyone thinks that arum didnt want margarito to get his ass kicked by cotto well they are blind. cotto was his #1 guy that he thought could really take him to even higher places but margarito ruined that for him lol! now he will go with plan C probably in where he goes with margarito with plans A and B having been for Cotto.

[Sonic Flood]

Are you kidding me? When he got schooled by Williams, Arum put him in the Co-main event on the Mosley-Cotto card and then was given the IBF Title shot after that.. Too many title shots, Mosley, Cotto and Floyd were offered to him. .What can you ask more fom Arum?
