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

[Eaner0919]

I think not. You'd be surprised.

see that's subtlety of it all

ringsize
the questionable passing of certain fighters getting ok'd to fight etc

I have to admit that thoughts of the Clottey fight ran through my mind this past weekend, when JCC Jr fought Rubio.

Rubio did not look at all like the same guy that took out Lemieux. It was almost as if he was holding back.

But then again Chavez Jr. is a big middleweight.

nah, i thought Rubio looked the same, he was a slow starter against Lemieux too, but who knows, with Arum anything is possible.

I've seen fighters land in the state one hour before fight time. How they make weight, get medically cleared...who knows. Ring size? Man...that's the oldest trick in the book

That is something that I would expect out of an unsavory character like Don King. Not a Harvard educated lawyer.

But the more I watch Bob operate the more I wouldn't put it past him. Especially after seeing that interview with JMM where claims he was told it was ""business not personal."

What say you?

I think when you have a promoter who only let fighters from their stable fight each other there is an opportunity to fix fights. Everyone wins this way. Its like playing chess against yourself.

Arum is not any different than other promoters. He matches his fighters in the most optimal way, and tries to keep the fights inhouse. I think if anything like what the TS is proposing existed it would have come out already. It's not like the contracts are top secret, there is a bunch of people involved. It would be also against athletic commission rules ...

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.

It's funny how *****s like to assume things. Didnt PAC ducked Floyd to fight clottey cause clottey was a easy opponent? All of a sudden now clottey is mr.bad Ass who bob paid to throw the fight away? Lol.. U know how silly u sound, again u think arum would go and tell Marquez that arum paid off the judges because " it's business" hahahah... Guess what pac was suppose to KO Marquez that didn't happen did arum paid PAC off also??

If ANYTHING, that FAKen Clottey/Pacquiao fight was on Bob's checkbooks. Behavior before and after the fight was BS, and where the fak is Clottey, i bet he took the cash, dipped, and is having a hard time with his conscious for taking the money, he's seems to be the type who would dwell on that sort of thing.

[rambov]

I think that Antonio Magarito is Bob Arum's hit man. He does anything for him and in return. Bob gets him big fights.

This is just MY OPINION.

Oh the conspiracy theorists are at it again. STFU ******.
