    Arum is being a prissy b*tch right now. Hes getting his emotions in the way of business..
    if i was under his company as a fighter i would be concerned about his priorities (which obviously only himself) and look for a way out asap

          Im glad for them

          But when you lose a fighter who gets more PPV's then any other fighter has views on regular HBO, you made a mistake

          HBO did nothing good

            That's from a boxing fan's point of view, but if you're in hbo's shoes and looking at it from a business standpoint... it's not so pretty.

              Although Alexander/Bradley may be a better matchup than the 2 ppv's on the horizon, the reason why its NOT of ppv is maybe because they're having trouble even selling out a bingo hall. Last I heard tickets sales were extremely dismal.

                I'm confused of what mismatch or crappy fight did Arum brought to HBO that HBO turned down?

                    But, is that really a crappy mismatch? Vanes is a big mouth who might not be able to back it up. Pero, he's a top 10-15 at 154 and has an undefeated record.

                    Cotto-Mayorga is a crappy mismatch. But, Cotto-Vanes was a solid fight.

                    Don't get me wrong por que en serio, Martinez-Dzinziruk>Cotto-Vanes. So in that sense HBO made the right decision.

                    But, the TS is making it out to seem like Arum was trying to feed a crappy mismatch to HBO that they turned down. Lets not forget that Arum is also giving HBO Montiel-Donaire.

                    People got so much hate for Arum and Pac that they sometimes don't look at the good things that Arum does. He does a lot of bad but he also does some good and he don't get credit for it.

                      It's kinda ****** up that boxing is at the whim of the ego and greed of an 80 year old man.

                      The sooner Arum steps aside at TR, the better.

                      I actually think that the reason he picked Mosley to fight Pac was to cause a split in the GBP camp.

                      Arum can eat a d*ck.
