Comments Thread For: Arum: Gary Russell Will Become Another Andre Berto

[sicko]

A prospect like Russell in a fight like last week belongs no better on a FNF, Shobox, or equivalent. What Arum's talking about the kid is too much at this stage though, but opinion's opinion.

A trend with the latest Al Haymon fighters is "fake it until you make it," where we're force fed these guys given star treatment when it's premature to do so. But it happens anyway because a guy like Al Haymon and his connections. Many people can relate to working in an environment with office politics, and it's similar with this situation. The difference is timing.

so Basically what your saying is that Arum is mad because he doesn't have the connections like Haymon does to get his fighters Showcased on HBO lol

I can't hate Gary Russell Jr because he has a Excellent Manager, Haymon is "JUST DOING HIS JOB", he gets his fighters Dates On HBO and A Lot OF MONEY...sounds like a great Manager To Me!
