      I find it pretty hard to believe that Bob Arum would stage a fight just to make more money.

        Just looked at the under card, doubt it's going to change things much.

        This under card is vintage Arum, just needs Butterbean.

          People accuse Floyd of setting up the fights with his dad. Now that is hard to believe.

            I doubt it, Bob Arum is of ***ish descent.

                Rather it was staged or not, it's fight week and this will bring in more viewers. Not a surprise at all with the timing.

                  It's interesting cause Bob is usually dismissive of fighters acting non gentlemen like, he's been quoted on numerous occasions saying fighters can be gentlemanly and still draw. It's on record that he didn't support Floyd's antics and wanted him to be more like Oscar (lol cause that dudes a h0mo)...but now it seems like he's accepting this recent turn of events. I assume it's because ppv orders aren't as good as they may be expected and realize stuff like this does help whether he likes it or not.

                    It was real. Lucky for everyone that it didn't escalate, or Pacman would've laid out everyone in the room.
