If Chavez Jr vs Peter Manfredo is a sign of our sport jesus freakin christ kill me now!

If the direction of the sport was into my pockets and bank accounts, I would be pleased with it as well!

fook you arum!

Bradley headbutting his way to victory with Alexander quitting, Montiel being allowed to go on, Pac fighting a guy that everyone knew was finished in Mosley, Judah pretty much quitting, Mares winning on obvious fouls, Lara robbed, Macklin robbed, Haye blaming bad performance on toe, Ortiz headbutting, then kissing Floyd then saying sorry again and then again and then knocked out, BHop not wanting any, Navarz not fighting, Pac fighting a guy who a year ago was to small but now hes ok, Cotto fighting a known cheater, and you like the direction its going?

Some good ones in there but a few.

[Ring Leader]

Yes he is pleased because almost every penny in the sport is falling in his pocket. The fans even know this sport is complete **** due to the promoters. **** they are ****ing up this sport we love. It is never about the fans and always about the ****ing money!!! Give us Mayweather Pacquiao already you greedy ol bastard!

only problem i have with the sport atm is the fact that home town decisions are rife... were having them every month in the uk, and were not usually known for it.... it ruins the sport, and turns people off..

who wants to support pheney champs who didnt deserve the win.

The Racket Squad: If We Pay, It's Our Fault

If we purchase what Arum sells, we cannot blame him for our ignorance.
Every fan has a choice. I don't see a huge rebellion taking place in the sport.
There is still no union, pension or health care for professional prizefighters.
Unless you are on board that train of thought, then the Arum's will multiply.
Oscar is no better.
John McCain has been the only U.S Senator to seriously address needs within pugilism.
Write a letter to your Congressman before you order your next PPV.
The promotor is only as strong as the dollars we give him.
The fight club has become a legal monopoly.
Only Pac and Floyd can truly call any shot he desires.
That makes 2 fighters out of how many?
Pro's are not registered with the same practical IRS standards of other occupations because most work 2 or more jobs.
The state of the game is horrible and the paying fan to blame.
Every penny that went to the Mayweather/Ortiz or Hopkins/Dawson promotions should be partially refunded.
But that's another story and another piece of the problem.
Sure. Arum takes advantage of the state boxing is in but we allow him to flourish.

of course this crook is happy with the direction of the sport.. he has a media hyped steroid using bum.. and a bunch of other bums in house fighting and all the money is going to him.. and nobody is calling him out on his bull****.. especially not the "intellectual **********s"
