Hbo did the right thing,IMO.

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.

think about it this way my friend. hbo wanted cotto/martinez arum wanted cotto/vanes. arum said no to cotto/martinez. why should hbo put their money up for a fight that can be described as a mc donalds happy meal, cheap but filling, when they hand their minds on a fight that can be described as fillet mingnon? its like going to a store and asking for a pair of polo boots but the store keeps trying to sell u timberlands. wtf would u do???

arum always does what is good for his bussiness.....none of you mofos are smarter than him in terms of the bussiness of boxing..............

wat's good for arums business is not always good for boxing fans. smh, do u even get whats going on in the thread??? or are u gonna blindly defend arum, because he's protecting his business?

yeah carnal,I wanted cotto to whoop vane.I wouldint not mind seeing
that fight.But i favored cotto in that fight.

Wow HBO just lost their 2 biggest guys to their biggest competitor and millions of $

Unfortunately some posters are delusional enough to believe this is a win for HBO or them making a stand.

[Motofan]

HBO is in the right. Bob just wants to keep cherry picking easy and in house fights to make the easiest money while risking nothing with his stars. He is the worst thing for boxing since Don King. HBO needs to stay the **** away from Arum and just make the best fights out there with fighters who want to actually fight the best. Pac wont be around forever. Arum is screwing himself badly in the long run here. A whole lot of people involved with Pac are screwed when he retires.

Again is not a bad mismatch.

What I would do is try to talk to Arum in making a double header. Where I would at least get a return in my investment.

But, no lets not look at HBO, lets just crap on Arum.

lets be realistic, do u, for a second, think arum was interested in making a double header??? we are talking about a man who was so upset with being denied that he took the pac fight to showtime outta spite. that suggests to me that arum had no desire and was probably not interested in a double header. for all we kno it was suggested.
