Is it conceivable that Arum would pay a fighter to lose?

    What say you?
    look up the term "white collar criminal", they're the best at big money dodginess.
    don king was a hustler all the way and probably quite proud of it, but guys like arum are snakes, very sneaky.

      why pay a fighter when you can bring judges in that know exactly what the deal is?

      judges make more for world title fights. they know who the promoter "wants to win"


      judges seek to gain the favor of promoters
      why wouldnt you want to gain the favor of your boss // whoever is paying you and hiring you?

          We all know how aggressive bradley is. if in this fight he's all passive and not really getting hit and not trying to throw many punches himself then I'm calling foul. i would like to think bradley smarter than that and wouldn't tarnish his career for a small paycheck tho.

            I don't see how you can watch Clottey / Pacquiao, see Clotteys quotes after the fight and not think there was something up with that fight. Then you hear Marquez say that Arum came up to him and said "its just business", when Marquez clearly won the fight, and start to wonder.

            Maybe something will come out of it in the future, but I doubt it. Its all speculation at this point.

              LLS at the bold you think King is unsavory but not Arum.

                Remember how u guys view clottey as one that is not even a p4p status so why the phuck who bob pay clottey to throw the fight way when clottey is not even worth mentioning along with the other ATG. And u're a fool if u believe what Marquez said. Like arum would go and let his secret Out like that smfh..

                  Pull up one quote from me talking about Clottey. I'll wait.

                  Its hilarious seeing you Pacquiao nut huggers throw blanket statements to everyone that has something good to say about Mayweather or is critical of Pacquiao or his camp. You're pathetic.

                  and why am I a fool for taking what Marquez had to say seriously? I saw the fight. Marquez won. I'm not familiar with Marquez having a history of lying. Feel free to prove me wrong.

                    Pacquiao is on roids, has loaded gloves, only fights shot/old fighters, has the judges paid off and his opponents are paid to lose. Makes perfect sense guys!

                    In addition, they poisoned Clottey to make him have diarrhea. Yes, it all makes perfect sense indeed. Styles do not make fights.

                      Of course. This is boxing - get real. You guys act like you didn't watch Likar Ramos vs Marquez.
