That's why Oscar has been trying hard to make peace with Arum. I could see the old man retiring in no time. It's a waste for these amateurs at GBP not to take advantage of working once again with the veteran in the business before he leaves the sport.

Someone gets it.it amazes me how these youngin's on here throw arum under the bus over Mayweather while failing to acknowlege how many historic ground breaking fights he was involved in even before floyd and manny were more than twinkle in their daddies eyes..hate or love arum one thing we can't deny is this man has been involved in the careers of arguably four of the top ten fighters of all time..hell i'll go on a limb and say if not for Arum's government affiliation rumble in the jungle may have been rumble in detroit or rumble in london.

Reports about the GBP rift is all over the net. Oscar is angry. There are also reports that they're not doing well financially.
