Comments Thread For: DiBella Erupts: Fires Verbal Bombs at Arum Over Martinez

[Left Hook Tua]

With a limited fighter like Taylor, Dibella shoved Taylor down HBO's throats. Jim Lampley would suck Taylor off almost as bad as he would Barrera. Taylor, who isnt an Al Haymon fighter, got a ton of HBO dates and PPVs.

Another Dibella fighter, Berto received similar treatment, but you can chalk that one up to Al Haymon.

Pretty damn rich since Taylor fought in multiple PPVs. Fun fact, before the Cotto Margarito fight Taylor probably did the same PPV numbers as Miguel Cotto. The average PPV numbers in Taylor/Cotto's era were around 300k. Each averaged those.

And Dibella had built him up to make him a legit contender. The only reason he is being fed to prospects is because he has a name, a name that was helped shaped by Dibella.

warp , there's a difference between making good money and being a star.

taylor was never a star.

taylor was the best middleweight for a period.

of course he'll make good money.

just like how sergio is gonna and has made good money recently.


dibella did do good with paulie (which is why how paulie talking crap about dibella is sad) but again paulie was not a star either.


there's a difference between what a guy like dibella could do for a fighter and a guy like arum can.

if sergio was arum , you think he wouldn't have been fed cotto or margarito or some other names by now?

it's because arum has the stable to do it. dibella doesn't.

Hbo should make Martinez vs Chavez. The Cotto vs chavez fight is a good one, but martinez should get that title shot.

martinez should get what title shot?

martinez is the top dog in his division and p4p.


hbo can't make arum do anything he doesn't want to.

arum will just go to showtime or do his own ppv.

yeah man, this guys is a fucken idiot he literally clings on to pacmans nuts just look at his sig and avatar and all his posts

Your a ****ing moron. Your the one who wants to go off thread topic and bring Pacquiao into this. NOT ONCE did I mention Pacquiao in this thread until someone falsely said I brought him up.

Your the one nutthugging him and I bet you think about him all the time. GTFOH cuz you dont contribute anything to this thread and probably nothing to society either.

Casual fans dont knw who the f_uck s.martinez is

Jermain Taylor was in some of the sports biggest fights from 2005-2007, you know that right?

And Golden Boy promotes Paulie now so....besides with a fighter like Paulie who has no knockout power, Dibella did a good job of getting him a ton of opportunities.

That's promoting.



He's commentated for some latin stations I think. In 2010, Martinez was involved in the second highest rated HBO event of the year.

Obviously you don't know a lot about the business side of boxing.

What you just wrote are all about MATCHMAKING. They have MATCHMAKERS in a PROMOTION COMPANY. IF DIBELLA IS SUCH A GREAT MATCHMAKER THEN HE SHOULD STOP PROMOTING BECAUSE HE SUCKS AT IT AND BE A MATCHMAKER!

Seriously, I get a feeling most of the people here don't have a college degree. You don't need a business degree to know what is best for you and the people around you. Arum as promoter firstly thinks of his company and his fighters. He wants his company to stay competitive and make money. The number one reason why the company is not bankrupt. Do you guys even have jobs?

DIBELLA IS A PROMOTER. So go PROMOTE his own fighter and get Martinez a damn PPV fight. And make it successful. You can't just use a popular name and hope the PPV is going to be successful. Golden Boy Promotions have been doing that and it keeps failing for them outside of Oscar and floyd.

People forget that MAYWEATHER and OSCAR DE LA HOYA WERE ALL PROMOTED BY TOP RANK PROMOTIONS! Erik Morales started his PPV fights with Top Rank too.

DIBELLA LEARN HOW TO PROMOTE! Even Don King at 80 can still go out, make elaborate speeches, and promote his fighters by having press conferences, story-telling to the media, and introducing the fighters to the people. IT IS SPORTS MARKETING 101!

Damn, ignorant people thinking that just because you are number one in something it automatically means you should get a lot of money. Hey, it takes a village to support an athlete or any A-LISTER. An accountant, a lawyer, a publicist, a public relations personnel, a marketing company, stylists, and others define an A-LISTER outside of their profession from sports to acting.

And DIBELLA is a promoter now promote your fighters same with Gary Shaw too. Sick of 3rd rate promoters getting jealous and doing nothing about it. Show your skills.

it's because arum has the stable to do it. dibella doesn't.

And it's unfair to boxing that Arum doesn't share his stable ever. The reason why Taylor was almost a star was because he got the opportunities. Golden Boy shared their fighters with Dibella to make the best possible fights.

The reason Taylor wasn't a star was because he looked like **** against those guys. Could you imagine how big he would have been if he had impressively beat Hopkins and Wright?

Pavlik was almost near star status because he impressively knocked out Taylor and Miranda. He had gained a following and that's because Dibella is willing to put his fighters in with other promotional companies' fighters. Yes I am aware Pavlik was the mandatory, but Taylor could have tossed that belt and said Pavlik wasn't a draw.

If there was one thing you couldn't criticize Jermain Taylor for was that he took on competition, even the 154 pounders that moved up to fight him.

[Carpe Diem]

Anyway, it's about damn time someone has finally stepped on Arum's tail. As far as promoting his Boxers, Arum is a brilliant businessman. We can't take anything away from him when it comes to promoting his Boxers, he's the very best at doing that.

"Probably"? No faggot, you're and it's quite embarrassing. I'm actually ashamed to be in the same fan base as you.




Oh the irony,

Cuauhtli02 will probably forget more about boxing than you could ever learn douchebag.

lol I seriously try to ignore everything the idiots says but im glad people have called him out and exposed his ass, especially that one posts he made awhile back about B Hop being a higher ATG in the middleweight division then Monzon that pretty much confirmed how much the idiot knows about the sport.

[LeadUppercut]

It appears that just as Bob Arum and his promotional company Top Rank buried the hatchet with their bitter rival Golden Boy Promotions, Arum quickly unearthed the instrument and buried it into cross-country counterpart Lou Dibella.

Dibella is right, Martinez has been fighting top opposition, Pac has been fighting old men and bums.
