Bob Arum Response to Dan Rafael Question

[zeidrich]

i really hate arum most of the time.... wth ...

but mosley vs pac would still be entertaining, i want that iron chin mosley go down!!

[Tamis!]

I don't want to see any of those fights. If Floyd isn't available, then the only possible fight I would want for Pac is Bradley if he beats the crap out of Alexander and Khan.

All three of those fights, Mosley, Cotto, and JMM, are unacceptable.

Too bad we know who's the real boss...

OK, so how would Arum sell a fight with Mosley, who was routed by Mayweather in May and then looked terrible in a draw with Sergio Mora in September?
"That's something that I'm paid to do," Arum said.

I really can't stand that sick son of a ***** scumbag! I just can't believe he's justifying the possibility of a Pac-Mosley damn!

Tested huh???Er,the Punisher??Maybe,yes,no??

This just proves that once a fighter is at the top of the game, he will stop taking chances.

Once Floyd became the top dog he cherry picked high pay/low risk fights, looks like Manny's doing the same thing

[IMDAZED]

LOl @ the familiar responses. Remember?

"That scumbag Arum! He's forcing Manny to fight Margarito!"

[BattlingNelson]

I'm sure his fans will swallow that line, hook and sinker.

Not only his fans. Also the casual boxingfan will bite. Hardcore fans knows it's bs but will pay for it anyway. Arum has been a succesfull promotor for many years for a reason.

[Chuckguy]

Arum is just throwing Shanes name out there for there to seem like options
he is going with the most money and that is a rematch with Cotto
at 147 after cotto has been fighting at 154
smart move Bob

yeah let's face it - Clottey, Margarito & Mosley = 1 Mayweather, monetarily, anyway.

That fight, would be a good fight and a legit threat to Pac. But, only at 135, anything higher JMM doesn't have a chance and it would be a BS fight just like Floyd-JMM was. But, we know Pac is not going all the way down to 135.

It might sell, since Pac is draw, maybe not a bigger draw then Floyd but he close. So he really can fight whoever and is going to sell. But, yea that list crap.

I am willing to give Pac a pass for this year, cuz he did have a very strong 08 and 09 run. No matter what the haters say it was a strong run. So I don't mind him fighting a year off and fighting tune-ups. But, if you going to fight tune-ups 2 years in a row is just not going to fly.
