No ***s don't always look out for one another. They found and fund charities and make huge philantropic donations to all denominations, not even mostly to ***ish Charities, in truth, but, for example a ******* ***, like most of the American ***s, will vote for *****, who is antagonistic to Israel and favourable to the medieval Arabs.

Why... because they ALWAYS vote ******** even if only a hopeless fool were the candidate. this is a deeply engrained LOYALTY relic of the early days of ***ish immigration when they received Social aid mostly from ********ic Organisations.{although much of the funding was supplied by charitable ********** sponsors}

When it's business, they can understand each other better than others might, and can cut out a lot of posturing and messing around and get to the nub of the deal. And they make sure it's a good deal all round, both for themselves, the Sponsors and, particularly the fighters, to whom they have deep commitments. That's why Arum is the recognised best promoter for his fighters.

beautifully put!

I have been expecting this after they lost Pac/Mosley to showtime.

[Blubba]

this is great news!

greenburg shared too much in his relationship with al haymon, that was main downfall of hbo.

WAR BOBFATHER Arum!!!

I agree with you completely, and it wasn't only trying to get "quality fights" within budget, but that the supposed quality fights very often turned out to be "stinkers" that, considering the styles and past fights of the fighters, should have been OBVIOUS to Greenburg and his colleague(whose name I forget for the moment) and that the ******* budgets were being frittered away by incompetence. I was surprised how, failure after failure, he was still there.

Maybe a contract stipuation of some sort, which kept him there.

Kery Davis and IMO he is the guy who should go as well as he is the one who has brokered most of the contracts HBO fell into

Damn, Pac's stardom got the dude fired.

[Elotero]

well let me amend this a bit

I am not saying the best should never fight the best

what I am saying though is that it shouldn't be the benchmark as to how to make fights

guys like Gatti and Ward would never be on if this was the approach we took solely.

one should look at the overall picture in making fights happen

Do you really think whoever ends up with the job will have your intentions, or end up being another Greenberg clone? Someone with 0 interest in the sport who is only looking at the bottom line?
