Bob Arum The Chess Player

[Bhopreign]

Arum usually keeps himself in a win-win situation. Arum the chess player wants Foreman to win tonight make no bones about it but if Cotto does win, best believe Pacquiao will fight Cotto at 154 for a title and enhance Pac's legacy with a another title in another weight class. If Foreman wins then Foreman fights Pacquiao. This man will maximize his money regardless, all the while grooming and building fighters for a Mayweather sweepstakes.

That's bad for boxing. For the past two years Arum has made sooo much money for these in house fights.

Trust me, you would do the same if you were in his shoes, why have your fighter possibly lose to another promoter's fighter, giving that promoter a chance at the Mayweather sweepstakes? This is just biding time for when Floyd actually do fight someone in Arum's stable, all the while making money off both of his fighters.

I would but I wouldn't throw them under the bus or feed them to the wolves because they lose or think about going to another promotional company. Plus, GBP is learning from Bob, they're signing every damn fight w/ a buzz.

Youre saying Arum threw Cotto under the bus?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Cotto will be with Golden Boy soon anyway.

Why does Arum want Foreman to win tonight? To make less money on a boring fighter that nobody has ever paid to see? And please come up with something better than the ridiculous ***ish angle.

Also how is Pacquiao-Cotto II even marketable after Manny's dominating win?

No, but he's feeding him to the wolves. Arum's been that way with Cotto since that Margarito beating...Arum even defended Marg.

Cmon dude. Look who made the thread. Floyd fan. A Floyd fan that has a problem with Manny fighting Top Rank fighters but doesn't have a problem with Floyd only fighting Golden Boy fighters.
