Comments Thread For: Shaw Blasts Arum Over Pacquiao-Bradley Comments

[pistol whip]

Bradley >>>>> Margarito. End of discussion

Yeah because the 1000 fans that turned up for his match with nate campbell just screams money money money.

[BritishBoxing92]

Promoter Bob Arum said last week on BoxingScene.com that he doesn't think there would be any real money in a fight between welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and junior welterweight champ Timothy Bradley should a fight not get made between Pacquiao and Mayweather.

looks like shaw got a bit touchy tbh....anyways pacs most likely gonna fight Floyd if the negotiations keep up.....or as a last resort margarito....anyways bradley can keep on wishing....he would get KOd by pacqiuao

Arum has a point, Bradley isn't really ppv maaterial. He isn't even as good as every1 here thinks he is. Personally, I think Alexander, Vic Ortiz and even Khan are better then bradley. Maidana isn't better skill wise but I think he whips Bradley 2. Now Shaw's points are bigger then Arums. Clottey was not ppv material, no1 in the usa gives 2 ****s about him and all Arum wants is fighters fighting eachother for the very reason Shaw mentioned. Oh and so he can keep the $$$$ in house.

In fairness 2 Clottey, he has held his own vs Cotto and Margarito in the past. That's better then anything Bradley has done in his life.

Well boxing fans would be far more interested in a fight between Pacquiao and Bradley than a fight with Pacquiao and Margarito. Which is the fight Arum wants if the Mayweather negotiations dont work out. But I guess Arum thinks Margarito is a bigger draw too? Get the hell out of here....

Shaw did call him out on his tendency to only put his big money fighter against other fighters in his stable, it will always be a win/win for Arum.

And whats wrong with that I mean it's not like any of us are gonna see any of that money. Shaws just pissed that none of his fighters can draw much of a crowd evene in their own hometowns.

[THE REED]

I'd definitely side with Gary Shaw on the comments back and forth..

[The Big Dunn]

From a business standpoint Bob can't put Manny in another ppv fight against someone who won't draw over 1 mil ppv and create a large live gate. Bob can't say it publicly but Manny's next fight needs to attract a large audience if Manny wants to make the same money floyd makes for fighting.

While I know Margarito is an interesting fight it would almost have to be in Mexico (unless Jerry Jones helps get Marg a lisc in Texas). I don't know the costs invovled but it would surely be more exspensive to have a ppv from Mexico than the US.

[Deevel916]

Both make some good points. Bradley really isnt known outside the diehards, and Arum does only seem interested in pitting his fighters against one another to keep all the money in house.

[counterpunch]

Totally agree on Gary Shaw's opinion.
