And So It Begins...HBO/Arum/Dunkin Not Happy at Bradley for Declining Peterson Fight

[Canelo Phresh]

Clottey shelved himself. BTW, he was dropped by Top Rank a while ago.

did he really price himself out? thought it might be smoke from tr. i remember their was talks of a clottey cintron fight which i was interested in.

He's had, what, two fights since Pacquiao? Clottey took the money, partied hard and then realized he had to continue to make a living. The fights/money he wanted wasn't there and his motivation is a serious issue. He was dropped by TR almost a year ago, I believe, although he may have fought on one of their cards. He's not wanted--not just by TR but by other companies as well.

Guess my perception may have been diluted on clottey.

While your joking that would really piss Arum off. lol

His new star beats his cash cow, then retires. It wouldn't get better than that. Especially if Arum had something to do with the decision like a lot of people are speculating.

not to mention that he picked Arums pocket for a million for the Casamayor fight, which didnt sell 3 tickets.......

I don't think Clottey partied his money away, he doesn't party at all I don't believe. He had some issues with getting fights and he wanted to go under another promo company or something. At one point he was talking about retiring from boxing and becoming a soccer player.

I am sure in his mind he should be next up for Mayweather but Arum won't even approach the option. I am sure Mayweather would take the fight too.

At the end of the day the onus is on the promoter to find a big matchup for Bradley. He is a young, undefeated champion, he shouldn't have to resort to fighting his own leftovers.
Good for him standing up to Arum.

That old snake is choking the life out of the sport.

Oh yes he does party.

Hes gonna go the way of Clottey if he doesnt make nice with Lord High Arum.

I seriously doubt that.

I am sick of Bob Arum acting like a little *****, its always everyone else isn't Bob? He wont talk to Richard Schaeffer and GBP, he wont work with Al Haymon, he doesn't want anything to do with Floyd, and now he is *****ing about Gaby P. I am sick and tired of this guy and his bull****, we the fans have to continue suffer not seeing the fights we want because of this Guy's greed/personal beefs. I am at the point where I am ready to say that I will not be buying another TopRank PPV ever again.
