Why is Bob Arum so ******?

[RichCCFC]

He seems to get outsmarted by Mayweather's team nearly every time and this is coming from a huge Pacquiao fan.


Pacquiao vs Hatton - Very good fight, Mayweather announces fight vs Marquez (bigger - at the time) the day before the fight.

Pacquiao vs Clottey announced, Mayweather announces fight vs Mosley shortly after, much bigger fight (even though I believe Clottey to have been the better fighter).

Pacquiao vs Marquez announced, Mayweather yet again steps in and announces a fight vs a guy coming off another huge win in an exciting fight just months earlier BEFORE Pacquiao vs Marquez so he gets even more of their attention. Further still he puts it on Sept 17th, why the **** didn't Arum use that date? Tell Marquez to screw his tune up or push it forward is what he should have done.

Basically Floyd is fighting guys coming off big wins with catches yet he's still hyping the fans up, Marquez - old lightweight but coming off TKO win over Diaz in exciting fight. Mosley - old welterweight with nearly 2 year lay off but coming in off TKO win over Margarito in a good fight. Ortiz - not old, not too small but he's not as good as hyped up right now (only drew with Peterson last year, lost to Maidana in 2009) yet again the fans are buying into it from the exciting fight with Berto.

Because evidently Floyd's business team is pretty good.

Arum doesn't really care I imagine Pac is still putting millions and millions in his pocket.

I think most would agree that Mayweather vs. Ortiz was the best WW fight that could be made outside of Pac-Floyd.

Arum had to see it coming.

uncle bob gets a huge cut of pacs money, so he wants him out there as regular as possible with the easiest opponents.

*******s are going to rain red k upon you. but you are right

The two best fights for Pac (besides Mayweather) would have been Bradley or Ortiz. Ortiz, who is with GB, probably wasn't an option yet as it was just last week that things between TR and BG started to work out (and you know Mayweather was pinging Ortiz before this).

Arum has been trying to woo Bradley over temping him with a fight with Pacquiao but promoter issues prevents this fight from happening this year.

Who do we have left that would be a good fight? JMM I'm just irritated its at 144, if it was at 140 or below I could say that it was the better choice than Ortiz/Bradley.

Lets face it, Mayweather seems to be fighting only GB fighters and, well, he had the right fight available to him right now.

As long as people continue to buy Pacquiao's PPVs I hesitate to accuse Arum of being ******.

100% agree

do people ever stop to think that Bob literally doesn't care what Floyd does

unless he signs on the dotted line to fight one of his fighters I assume Bob could care less. His company is very successful without his services
