    Al (who Arum calls Makavali) will never work with Arum even if Oscar patches up thing, he will just take his fighters to Dibella, Shaw and other promoters and make them rich.

    Do you want to know why we see Paquiao fight the same fighters part 2 and 3 or why Arum undercards are so 5h!tty on PPV? It's because his roster is weak sauce.

    GBP doesn't need him, Oscar should just make up with the old man for his own conscience and not publicize it.

    Don't do this to make fights, we don't need to know....GBP doesn't need TR.

    Chavez is talking about leaving TR
    Mikey Garcia is talking about leaving TR
    Bradley was blackmailed into staying with TR in order to get the Pac fight


    Let the cold war burn!!!!
    I know TR makes s**tty undercards i also know they make a lot of rematches they are known for it.

    Still GBP can do fights with TR if Scheafer doesn't want anything to do with Arum or HBO he doesn't have to be a part of that event. This move can put GBP back on HBO against TR fighters. Like fights with Canelo vs Pac or a Mares vs Donaire. I would like to see these type of fights.

    Hoya can make fights with TR on HBO and Schaefer can work with Al Haymon On Showtime. So you tell me, How much money does GBP make off of a Mayweather fight?

      Now that you mention it.....making ammends is part of those 12 Step Programs, isn't it? That's what's going on here.

      It's all well and good for overcoming addiction but Oscar should probably not carry that over to his business decisions.

        I'm all in for better match-ups, but it's best if Top Rank died. We've all seen in the last month alone that our savior Manny Pacquiao isn't the only one being f##cked by Bob Arum. Look at Mikey Garcia and look at Chavez Jr.

        Golden Boy doesn't need to end this imaginary Cold War.

        Top Rank will be dead as a company by the end of this year.

        Who besides those 3 names that I mentioned does TR have left? Tim Bradley (got forced into extension), Alvarado, Donaire, Rios..?

        They also have Rigo and you know they're not putting him on TV anymore.

        IF YOU'RE A REAL BOXING FAN, YOU'LL PRAY LIKE I DO EVERYDAY THAT TOP RANK DIES A SWIFT, PAINFUL DEATH.

        END THIS 'COLD WAR' AND YOU GIVE LIFE TO TOP RANK, SO IT CAN CONTINUE F##CKING ITS FIGHTERS.

        LET TOP RANK DIE AND BOXING WILL PROSPER LIKE IT ONCE DID.

        NO ONE CAN DENY HAYMON/SHO/GB PUTS ON THE BEST, STACKED CARDS.

        WE WANT TO SEE THAT FOR OUR SAVIOR MANNY PACQUIAO. EVEN IF WE DON'T GET THE FLOYD FIGHT, THERE WILL BE MUCH BETTER FIGHTS FOR HIM.

        DON'T END THE COLD WAR.
        Those men knew the deals they signed...I can understand if you weren't allowed to have counsel review what you are signing. In Garcia's case it's worse because his brother is a retired champion boxer and his dads been in the game longer they should've known what to look for. Anyone who signed a contract they are mad at after Chavez and Tyson's fiascos has only themselves to blame. All I can say is step your lawyer game up.

          It'll be funny if Alcoholics Anonymous turns out to be what saves boxing.

            Oscar, Floyd, Cot to and Parochial were brought up by Bob Arum. Which PPV star has Golden boy built up from scratch? Canelo?. Boxing is a structured beliefs system. When Floyd was in HBO even Bronner called himself mr HBO. Floyd fans will be with GBP/Showtime/Al Haymon. Pac fans will be in favor of Arum/HBO. No one of you get money for watching boxing (other than a tecate rebate) enough of the money worshiping. Duran/Hearns/Hagler/Leonard that was boxing. Braging tights, honor, pride and the fans before money. Boxing now days is more like the WWE

                  Oscar just sees Manny is faded and wants to feed him to Canelo and he knows Arum will bite because Arum also knows Manny is faded and he's milked him for all he can...I hope Manny smartens up, takes a fight he wants and leaves Arum's ass and takes a nice pay check to fight Floyd w/o Arum or Oscar involved and retires like a true great champ...hope Floyd gives him that chance as well

                    Interesting since Roach is talking about Pac moving back down to 140 as he doesn't think Pac can handle fighting 140 guys at 147 anymore...

                      Pacquiao wants knockouts at 140, fool.

                      Can't handle 147 fighters? He just whooped #3 p4p!

                      You can't handle the truth!
