Arum is one cerebral guy

[FlatLine]

Doesn't make sense to me, Arum operates on a fight by fight basis. There is a longterm plan but the objective is to maximize the revenue of each fight as it comes.

Marquez and Bradley will always have that leverage at the negotiating table since they officially beat Pacquiao. If viewing figures were low, they could easily place the blame on Arum for not promoting the event correctly - or for it clashing with a Mayweather fight. In fact, I would guess that neither Marquez or Bradley would want to fight on the same day as Mayweather.

Now Floyd Mayweather already had 9/14 on reserve so why would you kill your ppv dollars by placing Marquez vs Bradley the same night?
Maybe because you don't want them to do well. Remember the obstacle to a 5th Pac fight is the split.
So if JMM sells anything above 600k Arum will have to fork over probably just that.
This is Arum's way of making sure that JMM/Bradley winner has little if any negotiation leverage.
Maybe I'm thinking too much but it seems that way to me because if Floyd fights a decent opponent they have no hope.

The only way that happens is when he's broke or desperate.

Floyd fights in a week or so and throwing this out there now only hurts Floyd. He already said he would move the fight if Floyd fought the same night....he is just messing with Floyd.

Dan Rafael said that bob told him that if mayweather fights on that day then he ll move it to october

Dan Rafael @danrafaelespn 2h

Arum told me that if indeed Mayweather fights Sept. 14, he'll move date of Bradley-Marquez to October so no conflict this year. #boxing
