I really hope Bob and Lou work together on some up and coming fights. Arum is right in the fact that Lou is a genius. I really wish Lou had the money of someone like GBP because I can see him putting together some excellent fights/cards.

FWIW I hope Dibella and Arum can get together and make Martinez vs Cotto vs Margarito winner, sometime this fall.

Na, most likely it's going to be Martinez vs Chavez/Zbik winner. We all know Martinez wants his belt back and with his Emeritus status he can fight them whenever he pleases...Which will probably be this fall

Even though sometimes i get pissed and call this guy greedy arum is responsible for alot of mega fights in the past don king only had one real cash man and that was mike but arum had alot stars and yes the promoters job is tough cuz u do have to put money out of your own pocket but u ge much more back but unfortunatly Lou doesnt have the money of arum and GB and Don king cuz i thinkhe would b a good promoter

[ShoulderRoll]

Don King put on great undercards. Arum would rather use that money to "promote" and give the fans **** undercards

Cotto-Martinez is a mismatch. I thought you were bashing Sergio in the past for trying to take easy fights.

I don't think he really can demand Chavez jr, if he wins, to fight him. Because not only Arum is behind Chavez jr, but also Sulaiman. If they think that Julio is not ready for Martinez, then he won't allow fight to happen.

Arum is the best promoter when it comes to making a fighter the most money possible.

Shaw, Dibella and GBP don't have any idea how to sell a PPV and are only surviving because of HBO's deep pockets.

Arum really on his knees for pac saying the president would watch him fight lok dont you wish arum you have to put great cards not ****ty ones like you have been doing
