    bob arum: i forbid ppv #'s to be released until six months have passed

    "These early numbers are never accurate, so I forbid these numbers to be released for six months until everything is settled," Arum said. "I'm sick and tired of releasing these numbers that are not accurate. They're just projections. The fighters hear it, then they complain if those aren't the final numbers."

      Maybe this jackass needs to stack the ****in undercard with interesting fights and maybe the PPVs would do better. Of coure if the JMM-Floyd undercard is bad he won't have anything to do with that. But Arum reems you up the poop chute when it comes to putting bull**** fights on PPV like Pavlik-Mora for example.

        I agree, I was very interested in seeing the Luevano-Bernabe fight happen or something similar to that caliber.

            And why does he critise other people's PPV numbers after a day or 2?? Tell everyone that someone else's PPV bombed....why doesnt he wait for six months??

            So we should wait for any PPV involving Top rank for 6 months but he can tell us how other people PPV didnt do so well after 2 days??

                uh-oh... it sounds like Hatton-Pacman didn't do as well as he expected.

                  obviously you would have to apply that rule to every ppv to be fair
