Comments Thread For: Arum Admits: I Kept Chavez From Martinez, I Was Chicken

100% PPV or no fight!!

You forgot that Pac and ol Bob said no to 50-50 too....

It's a two-way street on your argument where the promoter protects a fighter. But it must hurt for you that Floyd is his own promoter.

Man shut the hell up. Floyd agreed to 50/50 YEARS ago and all he wanted was a damn blood tests that a bunch of 8th graders would take and Pacquiao came up with a hard cover book of excuses on why not to take it. Then Pac says he would take less to make the fight with Floyd, but once Floyd called him out, he acted as if Floyd offended him by offering him no PPV. That's less moron! Pac NEVER made 40MIL for one fight in his whole career so how could he scoff at 40MIL when there is no way he is making that with Arum on his team. Bob Arum just admitted that he kept Chavez Jr from Martinez because he felt Sergio would clean his clock and here you are blaming Floyd for the fight not happening. You guys make me sick.

A lot of talk about Floyd and Pac in a Martinez-Chavez thread. Sergio would break both those dudes to pieces in the first place....so lets keep all that in the Pac-May thread...just a suggestion.

Okay for all the idiots that still don't believe Arum has been the biggest obstacle in the Mayweather vs Paquiao fight.......Slap Yourself!

2009 he didn't wanna take the test! 2010 Arum pulled that deadline stunt but later criticized Mayweather for picking May 5th to fight Pacquiao without negotiation. 2011 Manny fought a 39 year old Mosely coming off a loss and a draw then received a gift decision in a loss to a 38 year old lightweight(Marquez). 2012 after Mayweather's sentence is pushed back he calls Paquiao out for May 5th. Arum then pulls the "Manny's cut won't have enough time to heal", followed by "We need time to build a temporary stadium"!

Man this guy just continues to admit to things just like the statement he made after the Brad vs Pac fight. "I'll make a ton a money off the rematch but this is ridiculous" which was the dumbest thing he could've said at a moment when people questioned his involvement in that situation.

I get it! Some people are so caught up in being a fan that they don't want to see anything that could change there opinion about there idol. Its just like a women that has the whole town telling her that her mans cheating but wont listen to anyone despite catching him in the past. She just doesn't want to face the heartache that comes with the reality of the truth!

Thats understandable, just business..... I cant say I see him doing that with a lot of fighters, if you look at the roster bob doesnt mind taking risks; one good example of that in my opinion is Kelly pavlik, for a good moment there he got some big risk fights early and it payed off.

Donaire is not being protected from Guillermo

pavlik was not a big name in the boxing world when he was fighting zertuchi so how much of a risk was arum taking?if there was a bad decision with kelly it would probably be the hopkins fight but nothing else.pavlik was the underdog in the miranda fight and the taylor fight, kelly was not bein made out to be some p4p great when he was having these fights but chavez is supposed to be the next big thing and donaire is considered 1 of the top 10 fighters p4p and a loss right now for those fighters would mean more than kelly pavlik losing a fight around the time when he was fighting miranda and taylor
