Comments Thread For: Arum Rips De La Hoya: "He Doesn't Understand Boxing!"

[toolegit]

Dela Hoya is full of crap anyway. He is shady individual and shady promotion outfit.

[Mayas]

Both Top Rank Boxing, Inc. and Golden Boy Promotions, Inc. are two bulllshhitt companies.


Oscar and Arum are both crooks that are ****ing up boxing right now, with FIXED FIGHTS, duckings for their fighters, and stalling the careers of worthy great fighters like Humberto Soto, Margarito, Angulo.

$2500 for a DJ? Who the hell are they trying to book?

[Pullcounter]

arum is obviously talking about the bussiness side of boxing......in that department, arum ****s on any promoters out there.....

arum is the best promoter in boxing bar none. king is a close second, but has been inactive as of late.

arum's the guy responsible for the careers of dlh, wifebeater jr, pac, cotto, etc...

the student isn't better than the master and arum pwns dlh all day long

This is a joke. GBP has been faaaaar more innovative than TR.

And it shows that GBP's fights have had higher ppv sales and higher gate revenues.

Most likely at a higher price in terms of paying their fighters more, speding more on fight night and promotion.

Also the added bonus of having Oscar, Mosely, and Hopkins as founders.

DLH beats Arum on putting on the fights BOXING wants to see.

Khan/Maidana, Mayweather/Mosley, JMM/Katsidis, JMM/Diaz2, Hopkins/RJJ 2,

Give me three fights (not including Pacquiao) this year Top Rank made that made as much chat as one of these.

GBP is boxers promoting boxing. The way it should be.

For someone(according to Senile Arum) who doesn't understand boxing, De La Hoya is doing GREAT!!!! De La Hoya has been promoting for ONLY 8 years & Greedy Ass Senile Parasite Arum for OVER 40 years & De La Hoya's "Golden Boy" promotions are doing JUST AS GOOD as Arums "Top Rank"!!!! & Really ¿Who in hell is going to believe what Senile Arum says?, Arum was the same A S S H O L E that in 2000 admitted to the F.B.I he BRIBED the IBF to get better rankings for his fighters & was Also fined $125,000 by the Nevada State commission for a BRIBE to get a fight sanctioned in 1995!!! & Arum was the same guy that said during an interview with Ariel Helwani from "Fan House" that MMA is for SKIN HEADS & ****SEXUALS!!!! this all shows that Arum is just a greedy old Senile idiot that just says ****** no sense making comments & is full of s h i t!!!

[WESS]

I agree, think once a fighter breaks into a level of fame he should be his own man and be able to choose his own fights and not be fed opponents, Manny needs to break away from uncle Arum but I honestly doubt he would even if he had the chance, Arum is pulling many strings for him and Manny likes it which is a shame


Thanks man, I'm sick of Top Rank promotions as a whole

I don't think Pac really cares. Bob does a lot of work for Pac outside of the ring and makes his job easier as his focus is JUST fighting who is in front of him.

But your right when you get on the De La Hoya, Mayweather and Pac level of stardom you don't really need someone to promote or pick anything. Your name is big enough to do the job and if you fight for the fans and learn to incorporate getting big names/fights at the same time. You cant go wrong.

Promoters only care about one thing. Not losing that momentum of winning so that cash flow keeps coming in higher and higher each time to the point that they don't even care how good the fighter is, just as long as it makes money. This is the situation there in now. Its time for Pac to walk like De La Hoya and Mayweather did.

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum was not amused by some of Oscar De La Hoya's recent comments that were posted on his personal Twitter account. De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions, made several public criticisms about Arum. The 79-year-old veteran promoter fired back when asked for his opinion about some of the comments.

Arum was to blame for placing a fake deadline back in July when Roger had to go to court. Bob is smart, he knows that all he is to do is hoodwink the part-time fans.
