ARUM: "I had never seen Martinez fight before (Pavlik)"

[mathed]

Where are all the people who said Arum is the best promoter in boxing?

Arum only cares about Pacquiao. I don't think he gives a crap what happens to his other fighters because he just wants to make a profit off them.

I noticed he did not seem to care too much about Cotto and he acted like he barely knew who Clottey was

[Pocket Dogs!]

Arum is a ****head. Remember this is the same guy who didn't know anything about boxing when he promoted his first fight for Ali. He still doesn't know anything about boxing. I would only imagine how his stable of fighters would be if he actually cared about them. The only fighter he truly cares about is Pac because he's his #1 money maker.

This is the problem with Arum. He is the worst promoter in the sport.

How do you have a valuable commodity like Pavlik, and you have not seen his opponent? I understand that you have Trampler as the matchmaker, but Martinez was in a FOTY just recently and many people were saying that this was a dangerous fight for Pavlik.

Meanwhile, Arum is putting all this energy into getting Margarito back in the ring.

I can't imagine that Oscar, DiBella or Shaw not knowing who their top guy is facing.

That is it right there, he has Trampler as the matchmaker. Who arguably is the best in the business. I could careless if Arum have ever seen Martinez. Now if Trampler was the one who said it. Then that would be a problem...

Trampler and the matchmakers at 160 are hands down the best at matchmaking for the boxers in boxing.

Why are you guys complaining or even talking about the matchmaking? I don't know you, but I want to see the best fight the best and you **** faces are ****ting on one of the geezers that have prevented it as soon as he does it. If he would've seen him before the fight probably wouldn't have happened.

When the best don't fight the best, you guys want to complain, yet you want to act like managers and matchmakers after the fact.

This is the ****ing HBO commentators fault, in that last few months I've noticed that people just regurgitate the bull**** that comes out of their mouths.

People just want to hate on Arum... Some of them do it cuz their favorite fighter hates him. But, is just ridiculous...

[jrosales13]

How could he say that when in the conference calls he said he thought Martinez won the Williams fight by a slight margin and viewed him as a tougher opponent than Williams? Dude is talking out of his ass.

He is just talking out of his ass... That old mutha****a is a walking contradiction... People say he is a liar but they believe any crap that come out of his mouth if it fits their agenda.

That's right....every promotions company has a team or a key man who handles matchmaking.

Dude what is he 80? A a millionaire? Do you really think he's sitting around watching boxing in his free time.

Arum ass is one of the biggest boxing fans on the planet and hes usually right in the middle of our tv screens in the crowd.

For him to have NEVER seen Martinez fight is irresponsible.

ofcourse...........and it shows he actually spends less and less time runnning the company..........he should leave already......he is standing in the way of alot of good fights happening.

He's a busy man for his age. Still not a good idea since Pavlik is one of his most popular fighters. He's not necessarily the matchmaker though, he's the promoter. Still, the guy was dangerous. At that point he's worth a look right?
