Comments Thread For: Arum: Showtime/Espinoza at The Heart of The Cold War!

I think Broner vs. Gavin Rees was the last Golden Boy card on HBO.

Wilkins Olajuwon made some good posts, but he is COMPLETELY off base when he lays 50% blame on Manny Pacquiao for what ails the sport of boxing today. Also, the PPV issue is independent of the much bigger issues in boxing (judging, rankings, belts, promotional Cold War, Showtime/Golden Boy marriage). These are the main current problems in the sport and Pac has nothing to do with them.

Yes, Pacquiao is no way 50% to blame, but neither guy is completely wrong.

yes, floyd moving to showtime ignited the cold war, not the canelo incident.

and once floyd leaves the sport, everything will be fine again

How can that be when boxing is BIGGER than Floyd Mayweather? How can that be when Pacquiao is a bigger draw than Floyd Mayweather?

How can one man have such a huge effect on Boxing if he is not the the most important current boxer?

floyd fights on ppv, not reg showtime, so there shouldnt be an issue when it comes fights being made. for all the talk shafter spit about tr not working with other promoters, i only see gb making in house fights. i really think shafter is so much on fmjs side that he's not willing to work with tr for the sake of pissing fmj off!

Well where does Floyd go?? Join Top Rank???? Richard knows Floyd has no where to go, Floyd being his own promoter is a JOKE, SMS is a joke, Lou Dibella and Goosen don't have the funds and connections to promote Floyd Mayweather bouts.

So I doubt that Richard is scared of Floyd leaving him, once again, where is Floyd gonna go?

You know boxing is whack when it has fans choosing sides over networks. Dumbest crap I've ever seen. What aimless, uninformed fanboy trash. A real fan likes whatever fight is on no matter when or where. Im so ashamed of what fans have turned into and its all Manny and Floyd's fault.

True. Worse thing are when fanboys use any excuse to defend Arum, in the last couples of weeks this old greedy bastard has said some really ignorant things

[The Problem Child]

It's all about the he said, she said bull****.

Pointing fingers and blaming people won't solve anything or help to.
