Comments Thread For: Arum: HBO Will Not Financially Back Ortiz-Marquez Bout

[plaster]

no public response from schaeffer and the golden boys must mean that bob may be right

[ThePrince]

No ****.

Was anyone ****** enough to think that a fight with Victor Ortiz would make a return on a $5 million investment on JMM (plus the $10 million rematch clause) plausible? This whole thing is just Schaefer throwing a temper tantraum because he's losing out on yet another 1 million+ buy PPV involving one of his fighters to Top Rank.

Just let Marquez go and show some dignity, this is getting pathetic.

HBO already learned their lesson when GBP last PPV BOMBED. Less than 50k ppvs? Are you serious?

Pac vs Marquez 3 will happen next, book it.

Lmaol are u bob arum? Theres a reason why hbo gave preference to gbp because top rank fights suck aside from manny it produces low ratings. **** just look at mosley vs pac boring as card is sad when arce vs wv was the better fight. So far lot of pac fans and people that rode pacs bandwagon are already saying pac sucks why is he always figthing sorry fighters. One of my cousins who was all into the media and said he loved pac just like you finally realized how much of a fraud pac is. He bought the card at his house we were watching it and everybody literally just went outside after the 5th round to drink and chill. He finally accepted if mayweather fought him he would make him look like the ordinary fighter he is.

This weekend for the people that spent $55 they sure got riped off and wont buy pacs next fight. Arum is just mad after manny he aint got no one plain and simple. Gbp khan, ortiz, canelo etc.

Make the best fighters earn their paychecks.. Sometimes I get the feeling that people on here are greater fans of PPV sales, Money earned, and Promoter's talking garbage than they are of boxing.

If someone told me there was going to be people boxing at a neigbor's backyard I'd be there..

[brick wall]

gpb will have to shoulder some of the financial burden if they want to get hbo backing. if they want to keep jmm they'll have to lose money...in return they'll gain points on the battle of promoters with top rank.

i guess hbo is kissng arums azz,And want manny back.Its funny that people ripped the marquez-ortiz fight,Claming ortiz was to big for him.I guess ortiz would whoop mannys azz as well.

if ortiz cant handles maidana's punches. what makes you think he could handle pacmans. ortiz better stay away from pacman coz this time he will quit boxing for good.

I don't think it's about ripping the Marquez vs Ortiz fights, which I don't mind watching. Ortiz is an exciting boxer. But it's more about Pacman Vs Dynamita III
