Comments Thread For: Arum Hopes To Mesh With HBO Sports' New President

[MrRolltide91]

What the new Pres should do is this:

After the Pac/JMM bout, approach all the parties involved. Floyd, Pac, Arum, GBP, and Al Haymon. Tell them that if a Pac/Floyd deal isnt finalized by early 2012, then they will have to independently carry thier own fights on ppv. No more support from HBO.

they can always go to showtime

Yep, Showtime would be all smiles if Hershman pulled a Greenburg move like that. And then HBO would be known as "Shaw Box Office."

He's going to tell Bob to cut the crap, or take his lame in house shows somewhere else.

Excellent idea. . . Arum can carry his own PPV's; he might be stubborn, and try to front at first, but no way he wants to completely sever ties and relations with HBO Mayweather, however, doesn't have the money like that to throw down upfront, nor the intelligence or man-power to arrange his own PPV's. . .
So that will be forced to fight Manny FINALLY. . . Lol, no more of this "if you da best, take the test" bullshyt. . . testing has been agreed too. . . mayweather is just bytching. . . LOL for the past two years it's been something like this: Floyd - if you da best take the test. Manny - Ok, fine, whatever arrangements you want; let's get this fight on! Floyd - If you da best, take da test! Manny - ok. fine. lets make it happen. Floyd - IF U DA BEST! TAKE DA TEST! Manny - WTF?! Ill take the damn tests you bytch made, female beating hoe-cake!!!. . .

two separate answers about testing

#1 - saying what PR wants him to say
"no more issues about testing, everything is fine" .... then

#2 - complaining about it

"we have a commission and follow the rules right? why is he creating his own regulations? he's not the commission. he's creating rules because he doesn't want the fight."
.... then someone comes in
"we wanted 14 days prior to the fight and the day after"

And you'd promptly be fired.

HBO would never tell Arum and GBP to go **** themselves, that would be financial suicide. Hardcore fans could boycott Pac and Floyd's future PPVs but we're a minority, most of the money is generated from mainstream fans who are incredibly gullible. Basically there's nothing we can do besides sitting back and enjoying this soap opera.

Up your ass Bob Arum. You are worse than Don King even, with your underhanded bs. You want to keep all your champs in house and avoid any non Top Rank risks. You kept Cotto away from Floyd and now you are keeping Manny away from anyone who has a chance in hell of beating him. Well unless the opponent is Top Rank lol...i.e. Cotto. If Floyd signed with Top Rank, he would have already fought Manny, Arum would have had nothing to lose. Pac is the cash cow and we all know it, he won't let him near Floyd, Martinez, M. Jones, Berto, etc. Screw you Bob lol.
