    Bob Arum confesses: I blew it on Mayweather-Pacquiao

    Sure, a spark could relight the flame and the fight could be resuscitated instantly. And, noting that today is his 75th birthday Elvis Presley could be throwing a party but in reality The King and Floyd-Manny have all left the building.

    When Pacman promoter Bob Arum looks into the mirror, he sees one of the bunglers.

    Uncle Bob is not often given to reflection, let along self criticism. But he told me Thursday that he fumbled the ball big time in how he handled the Mayweather camp’s persistent demand for random blood testing.

      “I made the biggest mistake on this,” Arum said. “I tried to appease a guy and a camp that cannot be appeased. It was like when (British Prime Minister) Neville Chamberlain (no relation to Wilt The Stilt, albeit a better foul shooter) tried to appease Adolph Hitler. You give something, they ask for more.”



      “I tried to appease this little egomaniac and it was a mistake. I should not have done that from the beginning. I should have said you take your list of demands on testing, you go before the Nevada commission and see what they say. I should’ve told them go to Nevada and make these requests on your own.”

        Floyd and Arum are grown men who need to put their dislikes for each other aside. The sport is a business not a personal grudge match.

            I had some Pilsen for new years. I'm sipping on some cheap ass Pabst Blue Ribbon right now.
