[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Earlier this month, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum made worldwide headlines with his verbal assault on the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Arum first exploded on April 10th, during the final press conference for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley HBO Pay-Per-View rematch, which took place at the venue on April 12.

Arum was furious over 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.

During the end of the press conference, with a stunned Richard Sturm [President of MGM Grand Entertainment] sitting right beside the podium, Arum unleashed his fury.

Schaefer is such a little angry brat. He has gone from out of the public eye, to in it, to annoying, to really annoying, and now he's EXTREMELY annoying. Pretty much any little thing that happens in boxing that isn't Golden Boy he has to make a condescending statement on or just bash it and praise Golden Boy and how God-like he is.

there's a reason delahoya should be pissed at schaefer.. this guy likes to ki.ss mayweather's a.ss... i cant believe canelo was only guaranteed $5 million.. guerrero i think was $3million.. are you kidding me.. schaefer is not doing his job as a promoter to get money from floyd.. who else is floyd gonna fight except GBP boxers..

even rios got more than canelo..

[Da Machine]

So on one end the owner of GBP is talking ending the cold war. On the other end, the president of GBP is applauding Top Ranks downfalls...

Some serious tensions/miscommunication/etc.

MGM made a big mistake not allowing Pacquiao to fight there because everyone knows that the biggest whales in Vegas are Asian

Asians love to gamble. Its in their blood.

MGM just lost millions and now only have small time betters there

Schaefer wouldn't be applauding if Mayweather was fighting and they had Pacquaio advertisement all around.

Everything he said ive been saying.

Arum let TR get sloppy and it hurt them.

Time to retire old man

[Bigg Rigg]

Schaefer has become quite the troll

[Carpe Diem]

Arum is definitely a bully, but he's at a point where he can no longer bully his way against everyone anymore.

That's the thing. Everything Richard said made complete sense.
