Does Bob Arum pay refs off?

[RichCCFC]

No doubt he wanted Foreman to beat Cotto, for whatever reason it was obvious in the press conferences..

And then you see the ref

[$coinblatt$]

never noticed the ref saying that.

[strykr619]

dunno about arum paying refs off but that ref in particular wasn't being professional.

[Canelo Phresh]

wow didnt notice that. well arum is cancer to the sport and worse than even don king so its a possibility.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

If the referee had been paid off he'd be staying silent and trying to influence the fight through actions. It seems like there's some bias there but there's absolutely no way he'd risk being found out for taking bribes with outbursts like that.

i didn't notice the last part "go the other way foreman, get out quick." that is strange.

[sweetpea87]

That's some strange ****.

^^^^isn't it a little obvious if someone was "Paid Off" (sometimes i can't believe I'm even discussing this ****) they wouldn't act so obnoxious? He was too enthusiastic about that fight and he got mad every time there was a break in the action, it had nothing to do with the fact that Foreman slipped...matter fact, I don't think any ref likes a break in the action, hence refs break up 2 huggers, unless they're just fighting on the inside.

some of you, give Arum a lot of flack, he might deserve it for some of his ACTIONS, but don't run with conspiracies just to add fuel to a fire.

[TuRoK'em]

or maybe the ref had a bet going on

That was some very questionable behavior on Mercante's part.
He even overruled Foreman's corner throwing in the towel.
Did he have money riding on Yuri or something?
