Arum rejects Martinez vs Chavez Jr

[Daddy T]

so how old is bob arum? I'm not like wishing the old bastard dead or anything ... well not really ... but u know ... out of interest?

Uhhhh JCC JR calls the shots. Sergio doesn't get to "negotiate" when he is a complete and total PPV failure and ratings disaster.

He must either accept the table scraps JR decides to offer him under the terms JR decides to give him, or he can go fight some eurobum for pennies.

85/15 and JR kicks Sergio's ass.

The first sentence in your post proves that you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Nobody who works for Arum calls the shots. Arum decides who they fight, when they fight and how much money they are going to make. The fight was ordered by the WBC and should have taken place in February. Instead, Chavez is going to be allowed to have two easy fights against journeymen before they can even begin negotiations. The WBC should order them to fight or strip Chavez Jr. just like they do everyone else.

i'm not even going to talk about chavez martenez as I know its not going to happen. I reckon the best I can hope for is Andy Lee getting a shot at Chavez, but that probably won't happen either, chavez/arum will run from that too, just like they'll run from anyone who might have a real shot at taking his paper championship

Mundine supposedly dropped the fight with Trout, so he could be thrown in the mix with Chavez/Martinez. FML!

This is why Boxing is going down the ****ing toilet. Because of this old ***ish piece of ****. I hate Arum. I swear I do.

Figures. Never fails.

This is exactly the attitude that has really hurt boxing in the modern era.

Green K!
I hear ya man.

I cant believe there are ppl who are actually defending Arum's actions and basing it on the fact that Sergio is not a draw...

Are these guys not boxing FANS! I can somewhat understand if you're a team member of a specific boxer and have a personal financial interest you have to protect.

But if you're just a fan like 99% of us here and you're not exactly keen or pushing for most competitive fights for your fighter, you're either very insecure about your guy or you're simply a sheep.

Yep, I think any huge fan of Chaves Jr. has to be worried about Martinez.
