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

[shade darkar]

Bob is right, two top 5 P4P fighters going head to head with the winner going to be crowned P4P no one in a very close fight as the bookmakers have it, Bradley 2/1, a fight that is only days away. And the MGM are promoting a fight that is a month away where one of the participants is a 12/1 shot in what is expected to be a one sided contest.


Guess it either proves the MGM is ****** or that Roger is **** on and boxing fans don't know $ hit about the sport.

if tim bradley is top 5 p4p then standards have gone way down.

Or maybe they realize Floyd v Maidana is the bigger and better event and will put a bigger push behind it

If it is bigger and better then why promote it more.

The less attractive fight needs more promotion.

Let the promoter do his job.

It doesn't matter how it gets done it gets down.

While Floyd win his best fights on paper Bradley does it in the ring.

The MGM should promote their own events on site, it is in their own interests.

well all im saying is if there are only 4 boxers rated better than bradley then boxing is gash at the moment!!!

[lets rumble]

mayweather v maidana may be 12-1
if pac or bradley was fightin maidana the odds would be a lot closer than that .........

MGM Grand, Las Vegas - The final press conference for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley HBO Pay-Per-View rematch, taking place this Saturday night at the MGM, was moving along at a friendly pace.

But, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum closed the press conference with a huge verbal ****.

Arum has been upset with the MGM's promotion of Saturday's rematch. During the week, Arum voiced his anger to several reporters - regarding the venue's heavy display of promotional items related to the upcoming Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Marcos Maidana Showtime Pay-Per-View on May 3rd.

I know Arum is not criticizing the quality of Mayweather's fights, when his fights are nothing but the same 5 or 6 guys fighting each other.

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?
