Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Shoots Down Richard Schaefer's Proposal

[ddangerous]

This is honestly getting to the point where I feel some deranged fan might try and kill him.

I've never considered this, but you bring up a valid point.

Love your avatar.

Al Haymon does something similar with his stable. He doesn't really put any of them against each other so people need to realize Bob isn't the only one out there.

Arum is an absolute ****. Why is he willing to "trade" money for a fighter(Mares) but not trade another fighter(Rios) instead? Besides, it's not like it's a permanent switch or anything. He's denying boxing fans a potential Fight of the Year in Rios-Matthyse!

How it it that the perellial cretins don't seem to see that Schaefer is denying "the fight of the year" by not accepting Arum's proposal to pay Golden Balls a suitable fee for their boxer's services....????????

And, unless already covered in Golden Balls' contract with their boxer, they would have to get the boxer's permission to be sold like a slave, even though it's for just one fight.....I know it's a common occurrance, but always assumed it had to be with the boxer's agreement.

I love this idea personally. We would get two great fights as fans, maby even on the same card and they would actually demonstrate that they can work togeather for the sake of the sport and the fans (that we have left). tr vs gb ppv sounds good to me. only problem with this as i see it is rios would get fed by lucas which would negate rios fighting manny.I might be a bit bias though because I dont want to see rios vs pacman at all and I think it's a garbage fight.

None at this moment but that shouldn't justify those actions at all. NONE!

I'm beginning to get the feeling that this sport was better off when REAL gangsters ran the game.
These guys are just corporate hoodlums some of whom would benefit from a good beating.

At the moment? When in history has it made sense for two Al Haymon fighters to fight each other?

We don't know if he would match two of his guys up or not if the demand for such a fight would be crazy high.

NOW does everyone see who's keeping the REAL fight from happening?

They hoot and holler about agreeing to this and that, and yet every once in a while the clues reveal the main culprit.

History will reflect on the man who prevented the richest fight in history from happening.
