Comments Thread For: Arum: No Way is Victor Ortiz is Ready For Mayweather!

[Bee Keepz]

Arum would squeeze every last drop he could get from Ortiz.



I'll take this fight any day though, just take a look at Gamboa - he's on idle and he's also got star potential.

Arum is terrible for boxing. He basicall said that he didnt care about what boxing fans wanted when he made Pac-Mosely b/c a fight becomes a financial success when the casual sports fan buys it. Which is true, but there's a line, and Arum crosses it all the time.
Dibella is a great promoter who make tons of money for his fighters (Taylor, Malignaggi, Berto, Martinez, etc) but he genuinely cares about the sport. Arum doesn't.
Plus, If Ortiz loses the fight but wins a few rds, he will have helped his career, while making millions. He'll have raised his marketability and casual sports fans will know who he is. Unless he gets DESTROYED, this fight is a great move by Ortiz, and will help him even in a competitive loss. a win (which very unlikely, but possible) and forget about it, he's a superstar!
also, ask arum how it worked not "ruching" to make Lopez-Gamboa, and building that fight up

[rasdun]

this also after everyone knew Moesly had 0% chance to win. Ortiz is a lot more "ready" than Mosely was for his fight.
Arum has no shame!

No Way IS Arum GOOD for Boxing!!! who gives a **** wt U think!!!!
this is wt Real fighters do Fight the Best regardles of the odds its an opportunity and either u take it and RUn!!! or U MILK THEM like u have chavez JR. Ortiz works the body 1st 6rnds to slow him down than finishes with a KO!!!!! VIVA MEXICO CABRONES...F.U.K, B.O.B- A.R.U.M.

I agree with Arum. Ortiz is not ready for someone like Floyd, but everyone knows he would not be saying that if Ortiz was fighting Manny next, lol.

Ortiz has a better chance of winning this fight than some of the guys Manny has fought.

Money is everything in boxing now if promoters can't get money from you they move on and left you scraping for scraps. Unless boxing gets rid of promoters you can't expect anything more from blood sucking maggots. But Arum still has a point Ortiz isn't ready promotional-wise. If you gave Ortiz more opportunities to build his market appeal you could still get money from him even if he loses to someone like Mayweather. Fans thinks Ortiz is ready just because Floyd picked him. Floyd picked him cause he's green and unproven that is all there is to it.

Arum got the nerve to talk about Ortiz ain't ready but he put Mosley who was done off in the ring with Pac.

Bob On Ortiz Vs Mayweather Jr.

“I had 11 years with Floyd and I say that fight won’t happen. For 11 years, I had problems getting him to consider a southpaw opponent. He refused to consider any southpaw.”

Quote:
Bob Arum puts his foot in his mouth AGAIN.

"I wouldn't have wasted or thrown a young guy like Ortiz into this match against Mayweather at this particular point in his career," said Arum."

THANKS FOR THIS AMMO!!!!!!! U ALWAYS COME THRU!!!!!!

[Carpe Diem]

He's just mad he won't be able to get some piece of the pie anymore.
