Comments Thread For: Arum Pours Cold Water Over Beterbiev-Bivol: That Fight Has No Pizzazz; Bivol Is Sort Of Boring

[L. Cipher]

Translation: Bivol is promoted by someone else and has a tricky style for my fighter so I will make sure not to let the fight happen

Sure, Bivol is not the most exciting boxer, but we want to see the best against the best don't we?

To think that Arum promoted fights involving Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran. Nowadays he's more about not matching the best fighters against each other, all about the dollars.

You don't need to own the water if you you own the faucet.
isn't it obvious? Exclusive network contracts are used to to cut off fights and feed fans mediocre fighters until they're beaten in what they label as an upset.

Damn, I thought Bivol was scared. Both sides are ducking.

Classic uncle Bob. As usual promoters won’t give us the fights we want.

This is about Arum...period...full stop.

Arum has the exclusive rights to supply content to ESPN, he just lost the welterweight division and lightweight belts and he's not risking lightheavy.

For the record, YES Ward is right....Beterbiev on the downside and he's very vulnerable, no question about it, and even if fans don't believe it Arum certainly does.

You need to stop using the term "no one" when you just mean you..
