      I disagree with one thing about this piece, and that is I really would like to see Arreola/Peter. Thats just me, the fight has a lot for both sides to gain from and not much to lose.

          Amir Khan is not a rising prospect.

          Other than that good work.

            Correction, Manny did not agree to anything except 60/40. Check your facts.

            It was Arum who went ahead of Manny saying that the guy already agreed to 50/50 even if he hadn't spoke to Manny yet.


            This bout will not happen anymore. So, get over it.

              Good article.

              I would've add the Dawson/Tarver pointless rematch.

                You must research more about the 60-40 split about Pacman theres a lot of story behind it... Good read though...

                But i can't believe you missed Dawson/Tarver rematch...

                    Excellent article! I'm sick of over-zelous writers writing essays! You should do this each week... call it "Newshound" or something. Top read and written as if from a fans viewpoint, unlike stuff like "listen to me because I know something you dont, but not really, I just like to pretend I know **** and bore you to death"

                    Nice one rkid!
