Arum's put together his share of good fights. All promoters at their core are greedy assholes. But they're necessary evils. When they're giving us what we want, we're happy as fans. When they're holding **** up, we get irritated with them. Same goes for the fighters. I won't say Arum is bad for boxing. He's just another promoter looking out for his own interests like all of them do. Sometimes we get treated because of that, sometimes we get denied fights we want. Just the way it goes.

Bob Arum is jus keepin Pac fights within Top Rank fighters to keep the money in his pocket

Josh Clottey, Miguel Cotto, now threatning to use Margarito as a backup plan

We know he is a big stumbling block in advising Pacquiao in the Mayweather negotiations, what you all think??

No, he knows the business better then anyone. And why is he the stumbling block? Im sure that ANY promoter would have done things in a similar manor.

He maybe slick and sneaky but is the best promoter out there IMO

Wow 2 in a row, but lets look at the last 4 fights before that, Hatton, DLH, Diaz and Marquez. Im not sure where diaz is signed but i dont think its Top Rank, so before Cotto most fights were against other promotions.

Mayweahter has fought WAY more guys from GBP then Pac has from Top rank

Oh yea because you and everyone else hated Pac/Cotto and didnt want to see it.

How can you complain about fights thats everyone wanted to see?

For some reason people point their fingers at Arum when EVERY other promotion does the same thing.

Please advise me why your not picking on GBP for matching up thier fighters too
