Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Slams MGM Grand, Mayweather, More

Maybe Bob should have built his stadium in association with The Venetian then~

Yes, we're still waiting on that new stadium.

in Vegas, Floyd is the big man on campus....Arum is shot, his hustle skills are deteriorating....lol @ that old ****er trying to get TB to rock the boat....gtfoh LMFAO

Yet again bob is forced to use mayweathers name to promote manny

Did Bob just ask when Floyd is gonna fight someone real? Note Bradley's answer...He don't want it! Bradley almost was KO'd by a Jr. Welterweight with no boxing skills. His only fight at WW before Manny was Joel Casamayor. Did he deserve a shot at Manny? Did Rios deserve a shot at Manny? And we all know what Floyd did to Marquez! So the question is "When is Manny gonna fight someone real?" Guerrero, Cotto and Canelo are 10 times better than Manny's last 3 opponents.

Outside of Mayweather and Ward .. who's more deserving? ESPN and Ring Magazine have Bradley at #3. Admittedly a lot of Tim's high ranking has to do with still being undefeated.

But Bradley has compiled a pretty solid resume including wins over Pac, JMM, Lamont Peterson and Devon Alexander

**I haven't been terribly impressed with Bradley's performances, but give the dude credit, still undefeated and a 4x belt holder in 2 different divisions


and Arum complaining about the MGM seems silly. If he doesn't want to be overshadowed by Mayweather's bout

why fight in the SAME venue, a month before Floyd?

rigondeaux for starters. ward is so over rated its getting ridiculous.

Really? Bradley > Guerrero, Marquez = Cotto (maybe generous to MC) and Canelo > Rios.

But, Manny only fought Rios because he was coming off a KO loss.

I don't see the "10 times better" Bronx boy.


Anyway, on Bob, I'd be fairly sure they've had that poster up for a while now. I was in Vegas in March 2012, and they had Floyd's poster up. Lazy, but that's the casual approach they have.

Andre Berto (Robert Guerrero) and Adrien Broner (Maidana) are gatekeepers to Floyd fights. If you beat them, you get Floyd fights. Just say that to yourself and then try to tell yourself the same thing that those guys are worthy opponents

MGM pays $100m in site fees to stage the the FMJ fights so they have to try to make their money back. That's one of the reasons 50 Cent was trying to get Floyd to leave GBP/Haymon in his prison letters, Floyd doesn't see a dime of that money.

What did Bradley do to make you feel he's better than Guerrero? Do you think Bradley beat Manny? Cotto did a much better job against Floyd than Marquez. Remember, Cotto was only 143 for Manny (4lb. Catchweight). The point is that Floyd has been fighting much better opponents than Manny. Bradley has not proven anything other than he can take a punch. If he beats Manny, then he can talk, but not now.
