"The Don Kings and Bob Arums have had a chokehold on this sport for the last 40 years. They've been able to put great fights on, they've been able to promote the sport, yes, but I believe the days are long past of the way they promote. Now, we have to think outside the box; we have to think like the NBA and MLB and have one commission and one major promoter in the sport.
That's one of the reasons I commend UFC for what they have done in such a short period of time; they are the only real player in their category, the mixed martial arts world. They have been able to organize themselves, have all the TV dates, a pay-per-view every month; that's why they are valued at more than $1 billion. They are doing the right thing, and it's time for boxing to do the right thing, as long as we don't have those obstacles named Don King and Bob Arum.
Absolutely. We need to sign all the talent and get all the TV dates; then you can have your own agenda and have a schedule for the fans and the sport. You can do a monthly PPV, a bi-weekly HBO fight, you can have the best fighters fight each other. When you have five or six promoters, it's very difficult."

But he now claims he's in the boxing business while Arum is in the Top Rank business but only because Bob outmaneuvered him and launched a preemptive strike. Bet he'll say he was 'misquoted' againComment

I just want to see good fights overall regardless of where the cards fall. I don't give a fuck about Arum or Schaeffer. They both can eat a **** for all I care.Comment

don't care if TR or GBP monopolizes boxing as long as the best fights are made, cause I stream the fights anyways and ain't losing a dime.Comment

marquez no matter how difficult it is to write him off is more than ripe for the picking.
rios too strong, too big, too young, too determined to be deterred by marquez.Comment

Saw it coming. Either a fight against Soto or Rios to earn a November in-house fight with Pacquiao. Neither one of them has a realistic chance against Dinamita, we'll see about Pacquiao.Comment
