    Arum using the "bait" of Pacman to destroy Golden Boy?

    Am I the only one who thinks Arum is using the appeal of fighting Manny (and a big payday) to make Golden Boy's star fighters leave them? First there was Mosley. Where while with Golden Boy, they wouldn't even CONSIDER. But he leaves Golden Boy and now he's set to fight Manny. Then Marquez, who while with Golden Boy they said the public wouldn't even be INTERESTED in that fight. But not that he's expected to leave Golden Boy, he's "next in line".

    This has to be devastating to Golden Boy. Cause it looks like their stable of fighters CAN'T get one of the top 2 money fights out there unless they LEAVE Golden Boy. Might be time to "make up" with Bob, Oscar!

      Fortunately for GBP, they are HBO's bookers for fights.

        This is the biggest reason why we have not seen the biggest fight out there, the fight everybody wants to see...

          Unfortunately for HBO, Showtime-CBS is available if they're not. GBP still is, the biggest loser. LOL

            Showtime is there but wow how boring can they be??
            I was watching Cotto Mayorga relentless and that show was so boring. Plus a lot of info about the female boxer.`

              I have no doubt in my mind that arum's end game is the total destruction of all opposition, in this case Golden Boy. Being a businessman, its quite natural for a man like him to work on getting rid of competition.

              However, Golden boy has vast monetary and human resources at their disposal to work on countering the Bobster's moves.

              As a spectator of the sport, i'm obviously hoping Golden Boy maintain the status quo since its always the customer who benefits from a healthy, competitive market.

                If you wanna fight da Pacman, you gotta bolt Golden Gal promotions and join Top Prank.

                This fued will prevent Donaire from fighting the Agbeko-Mares winner

                  The pacquiao-mayweather fight got another stumbling block to being made as there will be the added question of who will carry it...hbo or showtime?

                    Yeah, but that doesn't mean that to get a shot at him all road must lead to Arum too. I agree with the TS, it's more then suspect how these fights are coming about, both Mosley & Marquez were nowhere near the short list of possible Pac opponents a year ago. Now Mosley's a free agent & Marquez let his contract with GBP expire and they're #1 & #2 on the very same list. Makes you wonder just what really killed a Pac/May megafight.
