Has Bob Arum's age finally shown?

[ELPacman]

First he puts Cotto in with Margarito. Lost that gamble. Next he puts in Pavlik against an old yet very cagey and experienced veteran that usually ruins careers. Lastly, he's attempting to put Pacquiao against a giant in a size difference that would look like something out of the heavyweights when they attempt to face Valuev. All highly risky fights and so far he's 0-1 with this. Not to mention as by my signature, these are 3 of the most exciting fighters. You don't want to see any of them end up retired yet or damaged goods. We'll have to see how Cotto rebounds but the other 2 are mostly all that boxing has left in terms of excitement and to draw large crowds. Very big gamble for the Bobfather.

He's just a promoter tryin to make money. Whatever fights he thinks he can get paid on and do his fighters at least some good, he goes for.

Just throwing this out there - maybe he's planning on retiring and he's *****g together the biggest fights possible to cash in. Who knows

Maybe Arum really is a boxing fan and wants to see interesting boxing matchs. Or he just wants to make back the money he's put into his fighter.

Don't be throwing out there, it the truth. Thats exactly whats happening, you think he's gonna be at this til' the age of 100. He reserved Pac for De La Hoya, so he had to do something w/ Cotto, put him in front of Marg (which he owns as well) get Pavlik a BIG opponent before his MW showdown w/ AA. He a true business man who has invested alot in these guys and he's doing one thing and.......................

in response to the title of this thread when i was at the pac vs diaz fight ARUM was being pushed around in a wheel chair by his entourage??? i wondered if his health was ok for i never seen that side of him before?

he proberly wants 2 retire so he's milking it for all its worth. imagine the $$$ he's gona make with pac man -v- odlh.
also with golden boy promotions signing up alotta fighters he's making the most out of the ones he's got left.
