I recently started talking to one of my friends who gambles allot and he was talking boxing and he's an older guy in his 50's who was around the circuit back in the day making big bets on big fights. He still keeps pretty current but doesn't bet anymore. And he touched upon odds and the general public, not us guys who are in the know.
And he said it's perfect math why some fights like this Pacquiao vs Bradley is going down. "Arum owns the rights to Manny's first loss. He also said, in boxing styles make fights (tell me something I don't know) and you see what a fighter can deal with well threw his career. A fighter who has a match turn into a brawl, or a fighter who get's cut, what does he do? Now as a promoter you always make sure you know what your fighter can and cannot do well." But he said boxing ultimately comes down to business when your a promoter. Keep it all in house is a good business. "Arum is smart" But the best way to make the most amount of money is when, and this is what shook me, "You have a superstar out of nowhere get beat by a nobody. You have a fighter you build up once they reach a certain place everyone expects him to not lose, and when everyone is comfortable with that notion, that's when you cash 'em out. You pick a nobody fighter who beats your superstar, and you bet LARGE on the nobody. You see nobody will see it coming, because he's a guaranteed bet in the eye's of the public. That is the best way to make money because the odds are so stacked like 10-1, you make a killing!
IMO Arum is Cashing out Pacquiao and using Bradly's relatively anonymous nature to do it.
If i'm wrong, i'm wrong, but if i'm right, well then what we have here is Arum who is a straight up dirty promoter IMO. It's like a guy who knows which stock will fall and rise and trading when you know it's on it's way out to maximize your profit. He can Pac and if the fight with Mayweather ever happens Pac will be viewed as broken and noone will be interested, and everyone loses except Arum.
That's Why we all find it really confusing why Arum would put Bradley in with Pac. Pac is done, that's why he has always been focusing all his energy on things outside of boxing and using boxing as a vehicle.
Thoughts ? Am I full of ****? Do i have a valid point? Will this thread be deleted? Do I sound like an a.ss?
