Top Rank and Bob Arum are what is wrong with boxing today

[bojangles1987]

I might sound ****** or like a troll for this one but...

If GBP was as corrupt as Arum, Lara would've never gotten robbed in Atlantic city or are you gonna tell me GBP doesn't care about him?

Williams was the bigger name, an HBO favorite, and is an Al Haymon fighter.

[Larry the boss]

it is not only Arum.i have seen a huge increase of terrible,horrible decisions lately,it is getting horrible

Bob Arum is doing a disservice to the sport that made him rich. I as a boxing fan feel cheated by all of his corruption in our sport. I've been watching boxing for a very long time and consider myself a historian of the sport, and in all of the fights and eras I have seen, Bob Arum is doing more than any other promoter ever to destroy the sport we all love. One or two bad decisions in a row could be a coincedence, however when we get bad decision after bad decision that all seem to favor the Top Rank fighter, I personally suspect foul play. We as fans have got to stand up and do something. This man is delusional, look at the card we had last night. Can you believe that was a PPV event? On top of that we didn't even get a fair decision! I believe we need to run this man out of the sport, he had his time, and made some big names and money. Right now though he is preventing the biggest PPV in history and the fight everybody wants to see all for what is in HIS best interest. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather want to fight, Bob Arum doesn't want to risk his cash cow, atleast not yet. We have got to give credit to Goldenboy for making fights that fans want to see. When Bob Arum is out of the sport, we will see a lot less corruption in the sport. It is time we take a stand and let Bob Arum and Top Rank know that they are destroying OUR sport! He is not only cheating the fans, but the fighters as well.

There are bad decisions all around the sport. That said, Bob's most marketable fighters right now, Manny and Rios, were given gift decisions by the judges Arum personally selected for the fight. Either of them losing their last fight would seriously undermine Arum's two most lucrative options: Manny/JMM IV and JMM/rios in Cowboy Stadium. Add these decisions to Bob saying no to floyd/manny for this year, Chavez drug testing fiasco, and the fake stadium and I'd agree with the TS that TR is a major part of whats wrong with boxing right now.
