Comments Thread For: Arum Erupts: Rips De La Hoya, SHO, Haymon in Vegas

[ADP02]

I tell you one thing though. This rivalry will continue to produce some good quality fights with each company trying to out do one another.

It only works out tha tway when one promoter has the top guys in the division

There are too many fights that can or should be happening for this to be a good thing. For me its just another hurdle.

They're all scumsuckers and Arum can say what he wants but it is his vindictiveness and planet sized ego that are the cancer of this sport. He's the tough guy that believes he's bigger than anyone, everyone and anything in boxing. Him and Floyd are like the same person.

Arum had done some bad things but his track record of fights over the past year speak for themselves.

GBP needs to step their game up.

I get tired of reading haymon ****d hbo. Hbo made goo goobs of money off haymon. Gbp fighters do well financially while arum continues to gang **** his fighters. Every top fighter that left arum made far more money. Arum has always used gbp to up his exposure. He lies because he knows his fans will let him. The expolitician is great at spinning the truth to fit his lies. Arum is desperate and it shows.

All you Bob Arum haters are ******!!! Bob Arum is right. HBO is number 1 and so is Top Rank. No one has Showtime.... First of all because their movies & shows are lame and so are their fights.... Top Rank just gave us Pacquiao vs Marquez 4, Chavez Jr. vs Martinez, Bradley vs Provodnikov, Rios vs Alvarado 1 & 2....... What does Golden Boy give you? Broner vs Malignaggi...? Malignaggi......? Malignaggi........??????? ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME? LOL What a joke of a fight!!! Why not put him up against Mathysse? Then if he gets past Mathysse... you put him up against Garcia... then Maidana.... & Guerrero......? Why? Because Broner is hyped up to be something he's not. That's why HBO told Golden Boy to kick rocks. Anyways... All I'm saying is people need to stop watching guys like Broner, Canelo, & Hopkins. Those guys are destroying boxing.

I don't understand the Berto being feed to us crap. He was a decent scrapper on a subscribed network. Thats like me getting pissed at Bill on True Blood.

GBP is the future. Marquez/Pac/Martinez aren't going to be around for much longer. Rigo isn't a draw really and once he gets spanked by Donaire he won't really do much hes getting on a bit age-wise. Lopez is past it. GBP are about to go on a big run of LEGIT fights as someone just mentioned earlier. Bob Arum just seems like one of those dudes who is constantly bitter, and won't let things go. GBP for me seem like if it make money lets get it on. They make better fights for the fans, Arum says he is making the better fights now but for years he was accused for doing the opposite and just because he had a few successful fights does not hide that.

I want TR to get stronger ONLY if they compromise and are willing to co-promote. IMO I think GBP are willing to co-promote even though they have a better stable, as time goes on and their stable gets stronger hell even they may say whats the point?

GBP is also into recycling Judah and Mosley, whom HBO wanted none of, I believe. GBP also blatantly skipped Vasquez and Abril for Broner. It's getting worse.

come on guy, you know that Berto got overpaid for his fights

[mrjoeblive]

DLH took no advantage into the fight, he destroyed his body to get to the weight. DLH wanted an honest fair fight so to call it a cherry pick is wrong.

DLH was the biggest draw in the sport most fighters would have jumped at the chance to move up and fight him. He didn't have to force himself down to the weight and come in at 145, he was going all out to make that fight as fair as possible and it actually bit him in the ass by doing so.

And another cheap trick from roach. The contract stipulated dlh had to wt 147 on fight nite so he fought at a wt he hasnt fought at in 8 years. Dehydrated loss. Defeated at the scale
