      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.

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

                this is great news!

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

                WAR BOBFATHER Arum!!!

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

                      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?
