Comments Thread For: Arum: If Cotto Wants Chavez Jr. Next, I Will Get it Done

[edgarg]

Bob Arum is a piece of ****. Cotto would be out weighed by 20-25 lbs. Arum is exactly what's wrong with Boxing but nobody has the balls to stand up to him because he holds the golden pinoy.

Bob Arum better start sending his check to the WBC because Martinez is Chavez's mandatory, so uncle Bob better pay off that fat prick Jose Sulaiman or the WBC might actually start upholding its own rules.

You guys have all the answers yet not one of you is even slightly involved in what goes on to make, not only a fight, but a whole promotion. You know absolutely nothing except foul mouthedness and obscenities. There's Chavez, whom Arum is making ssingle handed into a superstar, without him having had a single amateur fight, and Cotto, whom Arum has already made into a superstar, and incidentally made him a multimillionaire several times over.

So why don't you let the man do his promoting and get your enjoyment from the results. Neither of them will fight anyone they don't want to. That's not the way promoting agreements work, although you all delight in regarding fighters as ******.

You're all just crazy.

This is just Arum's way of making Cotto re-sign with Top Rank. He is dangling Chavez Jr. Money in front of coto to remind him why he shouldn't be looking at anyone else.

If he is that's his business, and all the promoters use this as a bargaining tool, with none of them as likely to make fortunes for their fighters as Top Rank. It's not for no reason that Top Rank is the largest and best Promoting company in boxing history. They do global business and likely promote thousands of fights every year all over the world.

I don't care how old Arum is, nor how much he loves money, nor how much of a *** he is , not whether he deserves to die a horrible death as so many of you drag on about day after day post after post. I don't care how many PPV's are sold, not want to argue about how much each fighter should make, and that most of the fighters are doing it mainly because they can earn more money that way than any other within their limited educational achievements.

My interest is boxing.

Cotto is a small guy, he's going to be tiny at 160!!

Laszlo Papp was really a welterweight who fought at middleweight like lots of fighters before and after him. But he was only 5'5" tall........ And he had an amateur record of 312-6 with a pro record of 27-0 when he was forced by his communist Government to retire. In 1983 the WBC gave him a special world wide approved award as being the best amateur and professional fighter in the history of boxing.

He was also the first (by over 20 years) boxer to win 3 Olympic Gold Medals, (3 fighters total so far including Theofilio Stevenson) beating Jose Torres, in his last finals. Torres was a stablemate of Floyd Patterson, and later world light heavyweight champion when he beat Joey Maxim. He is still active in boxing administration circles, I believe.
