    Arum is killing boxing

    with these bull**** opponents for the p4p no.1

    if he's as good as you say he is Bob why are you protecting him?

    his comments about Ortiz case in point, he's the kid cant speak spanish....he's actually fluent, but is that an excuse to not fight him?

    the only way boxing gets new stars are if the existing stars fight the up and comers, why isnt Pac doing this for the good of boxing? he will get paid regardless

    Bob if you care about boxing let Pac fight an Ortiz or a Berto or a Bradley or Amir Khan

    Good points,but it's not Arum alone.If Pacman told him he's not fighting ancient legends,(like Mosley),or cheating tomatoe cans (like Margarito),then I'm sure Arum would comply.But they're both robbing the sport together,hand in hand.

      He will keep doing what he is doing as long as it is making him money. With boxing being such a barren wasteland with 2 stars (and one not fighting), people will continue to buy whatever is put in front of them. He has zero motivation to let Golden Boy back into the party.

        PPV and Premium Cable kill boxing. If HBO wouldn't have got Foreman-Frazier 38 years ago boxing would be huge today.

                dude you know i usually agree with your posts but come on man. That didnt stop Mike tyson being a household name, or Manny Pac

                bull**** decisions, bull**** cards and one sided fights kill boxing

                  One household name a decade do not help the sport.

                  bull**** decisions, bull**** cards and one sided fights kill boxing
                  Bad decisions go back to something I've posted before but get little response with: State commissions. They have zero accountability and no incentive to be good.

                    Iv seen better prospects than him not make it, and looking at Bobs matchmaking at the minute i dont think his potential will be realised with Top Ranks Ultra cautious matchmaking

                    Jeez that could be another thread, how the myth of Top Rank matchmaking actually ruins fighters, case in point Miguel Cotto, whose prime was wasted at 140 fighting b class fighters getting safe money
