Bob Arum is doing a horrible job at promoting this fight

[javelin_fangs]

are you talking about the same canibus that got Pwned by LL?

First of all, Canibus didn't get owned by LL.

Second, listen to 2000 B.C., Mic Club the Curriculum, Rip the Jacker and For Whom the Beat Tolls and then tell me dude is not lyrically amazing. This dude raps circles around your favorite rappers.

It's just because Clottey is not that known, If it would of been Pac VS Mosely and Mayweather vs Clottey then the tables would be turned. Mosely doesnt have the best fan base but he is known.

That's probably true. But Pacquiao would have had a lot of trouble getting the Mosley fight.

He knew what he was doing when he turned down the Mayweather fight. That's why it took him two seconds after the arbitration failed to announce he was going to fight Clottey instead of Mayweather. After about mid-December he had no intention of fighting Mayweather. Clottey was his best available option. In hindsight, if we're honest with ourselves, Pacquiao really should have just agreed to fight Mayweather.

not to mention posters complain that GBP protects its fighters now they are complaining that they dont deveop them
hhmmm
dont you have to protect him them to deveop them?

There are people on this board who just regurgitate whatever Bob Arum says. I think that's annoying because Bob Arum is anything but honest when it comes to anything he says about other promoters and their fighters, especially Golden Boy and its fighters.

That said, I think there are also people who are upset that Tim Bradley can't get a fight with anybody, which is a shame. But that's not all Golden Boy's fault. I mean it'd be nice if Victor Ortiz or Amir Khan were to fight Bradley, but neither of them is really ready for that type of fight yet. Also, Ortiz-Nate Campbell and Khan-Paulie Malignaggi aren't bad fights for Ortiz and Khan at this stage of their careers. Golden Boy has to look out for it's fighters while its also putting on fights fans want to see. Bradley is just an unfortunate victim of that at the moment.

LL aint my fav but everyone knows that he got owned
that doesnt mean he isnt legit or has skillz
all I asked was if it was the same canibus that calls LL Daddy

Please
Nas, jay z and Biggie would rap geometric angles not circles around Canibus

Although we may not agree on music specifically hip/hop I have to agree with you on this.

I would love to see Bradley go against pac.

Sorry you're wrong. I bet you haven't listened to Canibus since 2nd Rd KO. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to talk ****, but if you think that you must not have followed dude's career. Especially not Nas or Jay Z. Even Biggie...I just don't see him being on Canibus' level. From about '98 to about '07 he just kept getting better and better and better. His latest **** is still good too. If you're a fan of metaphors, story telling, punchlines, etc. there's no way you can't love Canibus.

Lol...we probably do mostly agree on hip hop, but just not many people who like hip hop have treated themselves to Canibus' music, which is unfortunate for them...lol.

Anyway, I'd love to see Bradley-Pacquiao. Unfortunately, if Arum ain't willing to put Edwin Valero against Bradley we know for damn sure he ain't putting Manny Pacquiao against Bradley.

Not only is it getting overshadowed my shane mosely's fight but even me a hardcore boxing fan i find myself forgetting pacquiao and clottey are fighting soon every once in a while.

If this is pacquiao's last fight that would be a joke

I agree. There is a big reason for this. Just dont understand why

[Brother Mouzone]

i belive arum knows this fight is not going to do well in ppv and it will not do good head to head against mayweather vs. mosley ....if he were to heavily promote the fight and it does not do good people will say the fight was heavily promoted and it did not do well pac's star power would take a hit .....arum is saving face he can say the fight was not heavily promoted and that is why the fight did not do well on ppv.

300K are good numbers in my opinion and I'm expecting 500K out of this. Just that this could have done so much better.

1 mill it does 600k.

Promotions should be happening, Arum even said he is doing less commercials and more face to face shows.

Not sure WTF he is doing here but I stand by 600k. I'm not even from the US so no idea how bad the promotion is lol.
