    Blame the ways of the sport, not Arum. The way the sport is structured today, someone's always getting ****ed.

    Arum consistently develops great talent and constantly dips into his own pockets to put on cards. While you may not buy the Latin Fury's and the other Top Rank PPV's, think about how much worse off the sport would be without those fighters being accessible to the public.
    Exactly, I basically said the samething. Without even reading what you wrote. We on the same page with Arum.

      Floyd's a disgrace to boxing by fighting 2 smaller men and retire again by not making the weight limit.

      Pac goes the hard way fighting Hatton and Cotto while FLoyd goes on the easy way by avoiding a strong WW

        Pound for pound, Arum is the best promoter in the game. It's been like that for a while.

          When Cotto beats Pac he will buy out of Top Ranks Contract.
          He has given Cotto no respect since the Margarito crime.

                  First of all, with the sole exception of purse bid fights, its illegal for a promoter to take a "percentage" of a fighters purse. Revenue splits are something different alltogether. Its legal for a promoter to say "we'll do an 80-20 revenue split, however it is illegal for a promoter to say "I'll pay you $3.5 million and 25% comes back to me.

                  To say that Arum takes over 25% of "Pac's money" is nonsense........

                    Arum really is the best promoter out there right now. Then again that isn't saying much. They are all greedy money grabbing bastards. If I had to say which one was the worst out of all promoters, going outside the sport of Boxing, it is without a doubt that disgusting shill Dana White.

                    Dana White is shameless trash... It's disgusting how little he pays his fighters, even the belt holders...

                      I dont know about him taking pacquiaos money, but i do see floyd accepting a 50/50 split. He must or else who will he fight next? ___________ I thought so and then his comeback would be nothing. Just likes Michaels Jordans comeback wouldn't meant nothing if he didn't win the championship again.
