Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Explains Further on His Anger With MGM Grand

[elfag]

arum can **** off. pac has fought at the mgm plenty of times and will again. he is just being a cry baby *****.

He talks about fighting in saudi arabia and all of that **** but its just talk. If pac has a top opponent, hes fighting at mgm. He only fought in china because rios ****ing sucks.

Arum is right though. That's not how you do business. Especially with the fighters, and the sponsors, the beer companies. They have obligations. MGM knows that. They've been around long enough to know the do's and don'ts. A lot of money goes into these fights to make them happen. To arrive a rival network event splashed everywhere? Take the business elsewhere Bob.

Its a business deal, if arum dont want showtime ads around, then put it in the contract. He should have thought about that. It was never an issue before.... NOT because floyd and pac didnt both fight there around the same time but because this is the first time pac is fighting there since goldenboy and hbo split.

From the other thread.



Not only are there more seats available for Pacquiao-Bradley they are cheaper.

At those prices, I'll buy both PPV's and food, damn.

Arum made Bradley a millionaire. What are you clowns talking about? Feel bad for the GBP fighters who are still on call. They're rotting without any fight scheduled. Check out GBP's site and they have about 90 fighters. 90% have been on vacation. Mayweather is the only one making money. SHO/GBP are getting crumbs from his PPVs.

According to Arum, company President Todd duBoef complained to Sturm regarding the issue - and Sturm explained to duBoef that Mayweather-Maidana was struggling to sell tickets, and as a result the MGM did not remove those promotional items during Pacquiao-Bradley fight week.

Bold statement above pretty much explained the reason why.....

lol Bob is such a grumpy old man...Manny hasn't been as big a draw lately as Bob hoped for and Bradley couldn't draw a handful of people to watch him fight if he was fighting in a chuck e cheese next to a pedophile convention with unsupervised kids as the officials.

Then he has to talk **** about MGM cuz they take care of the guy who's always been loyal to them and brought them the most money of any fighter (as opposed to Bob who always rips MGM and tries to fight outside of Vegas). And he talks some more BS about Floyd's opponents (who are always coming off huge wins, as if its Floyd's fault he's never lost and no one expects him to lose even tho the guys he's fighting are world class), and he claims the fight isnt selling even tho it sold out faster then a bucket of KFC fried chicken in the hood on thanks giving.

YOu made your money and screwed over enough fighters, isn't it about time you crawl into a hole somewhere and die already Bob?
