Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Smells Backdoor Handshake in MGM Fiasco

[The Gambler1981]

Dunno what's up with there. I think the Garcia triple header was the last one out last year

I would reckon it has something to do with ****ie Cole leaving so there is probably a change in the way they do business, or at least a change in the squeaky wheels that need the grease.

Backdoor handshake. That anything like a reach-around? HA.

Seriously, I'm in Arums corner on this one. We the fans don't pay much attention to sponsors etc., but promoters do... because of all the moolah involved. If I were Tecate, I'd be fuming over this. And the ignorance of the MGM people is embarrassing. Forget about big hotels in Fight City knowing how to do the project right. They're idiots at MGM. Complete morons.

Ole Bob 'yesterday I was lying , today I'm telling the truth' Arum, he can smell a rat from a mile in fact if he looks in the mirror he can see one, Watch out Bob don's behind you! What a pair but in their mad ways they have done loads for our game (and themselves!).
Don once asked his worth'when you can count it , you aint got nothing'!
I'd love to see them in a slugfest can you imagine the points deducted.

LMAO at Floyd promoting his fight at Pacquiao's coming up fight. Only the desperate will do this kind shet move.

Arum is probably a hundred percent correct in what he is saying, but for so many years the boot has been on the other foot so him whining about it now seems laughable. They're all crooks basically so *** em.

What Fiasco? This is not news. No story here. Does he blame MGM for the lack of television promotions going on as well. I dont think I have seen one commercial promoting this fight?

[JDD1]

The article posted the other day indicated this happened because Bob wasn't thorough and GBP/Floyd?haymon found a loophole and exploited it.

What is with Herschman and Bob making so many simple mistakes lately? Looks ike they are trying to set the groundwork for something.

Nah... Venue doesn't sell the fight. The fight sells the fight.

+ I'd like to see some fights at Caesars once again. Many a great memory...

True dat true dat.

This incident is just the writing on the wall. Arum is history and the big boys are lining up like good sheeple so they get their pockets lined.

Thing is if one follows the logic of this post by "Kiddoe" Mayweather once he stops fighting won't have **** either....I know he thinks he is a promoter now but no....FIGHTS do indeed sell fights. Getting behind the fighters and when fighters fight in competative fights instead of reinforcing these primitive turf wars, boxing will thrive again. Arum is a provincial goon with more than a few smarts and letters behind his name...his take on things is, like King's, that of a dinasour. King was booted and Arum is next.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. By by Bob you greedy sycophant. Mayweather is also a sycophant and the minute he stops fighting he will be chased down by the IRS and left with hands just functional enough to be a greeter in the places where he was a high roller.
