All promoters seem like bad people

[sparkman0811]

I just get that vibe from all promoters. I feel like they get rich off of fighters, and they take advantage of fighters. Promoters always have this big smile on their face like they don't have a care in the world. They seem greedy. Any thoughts on this. I feel like smart people will take advantage of not so smart people, especially with money. Promoters seem like ****.

It is the business world my man. The dog eat dog world. You have to make money at any costs or it will swallow you alive. As crazy as it may sound, that's the reality of the society we live in. Everybody has mouths to feed, pockets to grow and money is the ruler of it all. There are no friends when it comes to making money, feelings have to be put aside and you start developing a cold heart and mind when you need to get something done.

Yuuuup. Only the most ruthless can get to the top of the business world. Unfortunately just the way it is. People like Arum & Schaef would run over their own mothers with a car for another mil.

Pretty much... slashing throats, stabbing backs... Survival of the most assholish.

I like Arum but yes, he would. I think it takes an extra million for Schaefer to do so though, only one more. They'd both do it with a poker face too.

That goes for every top guy in any company in any field. Their goal is to make money and they'll take all advantages they can get. Trust me, I learned that the hard way.

I hate bob arum he's as low as they come

I'm of the belief that if you're at the top of you profession no matter what it is you're probably a bit of a sociopath. You gotta step on a few people to get ahead in the business world.

That's the nature of the beast. The promoters are usually crap but the managers are usually good people. Martinez's manager is a really cool guy, very caring about his fighters and a smart guy too. They get little recognition though but Duva and DiBella are a few of the better promoters out there....Arum and Schaefer are the scum of the earth....and King too but he is not a big-leager anymore.

One of my bosses is the CFO of my company and that dude is a piece of schit, he would throw you under the bus in a minute without a second thought. My other boss is a VP and he would too but both of them know that I can see right through them and I can tell that it eats them up. I never say anything specific but I talk down to them because they schit on me but I don't back down because I do so much of their jobs that they know they would fail without me.

I'm gonna love it when I leave so I can laugh when they come beg me to stay by tossing more money my way. It's too late though because I let them dig their own graves......boxers should market themselves, no need for a promoter after a certain point.

The only promoter I'd trust would be Iron Mike. If I was an upcoming fighter, I'd probably try to sign with Mike first, then GBP. Under no circumstances would I sign with Arum.
