Greedy arum has a small cut from Shane's purse plus future promotional rights

[dyu]

That is the real reason why Arum is willing to give shane $5M dollars in the first place.
Seriously, this fight should be boycotted.

it's one option you act like this isn't common practice

were you this up in arms when GBP got options on Lamont Peterson?

Lamont is a bum :-) haha j/k

Why not take the lesser $3.5M offer from berto? Because arum makes money for himself (and not for pac) if shane is the opponent.

mosley is gonna get to fight cotto and marg next. no doubt that's why mosley is getting the fight, a decent guarantee, and has to give up promotional rights to arum.

True that. Arum again is in a win-win situation.
This is basically like an in-house fight. If shane wins, he doesn't have to worry about it because he will have promotional rights on shane.
He can then use that to make fights with cotto and margarito, w/c shane publicly admitted that all the fights he want are with TR.

Call it what you want but Shane left GBP for be a TR fighter.

More than anything Mosley deserved this fight. He deserves the payday.

How? What did he do to deserve it? And not only that, he just got a huge payday against Floyd earlier in the year.
