Comments Thread For: Arum Reacts To Chavez Jr.'s Manager, Details Situation

[Pigeons]

Do you guys realize that Bob Arum blocked a great fight from happening because of his greed?

They are not interested in great fights, flamers are interested in Bob Arum and Top Rank succeeding financially. They only support fighters if they are under the Top Rank umbrella. Flamers are hooked.

But i remember arum saying and im paraphrasing here...why give chavez major money and he not stay with them? Its not worth it. End of paraphrase. Chavez made 2.5 million against Brain Vera...Brain Vera...and arum wants to pay him 500k less to fight GGG in a pay per view bout? But if Chavez signs the extension then top rank will negotiate the fight. My question id why not.just give Chavez the 6.6 million WITHOUT an extension? If.its true that chavezs contract is up next year, there is no reason why top rank cant do this fight.

Chavez only owes Top Skank one fight. That one fight has to be fought before October 15th of next year. So in reality his one fight would have been against GGG. This is the reason Rob once an extension.

Perhaps, I am sure there is some reason to it other than he felt like ****ing up his Friday night.

If I had to guess, I would say he wants this situation to stay on his narrative since people are somewhat on his side believing what he is selling.

True Story, Bob is a Smart Madder Trucker....

Check this out. I got hold of Pacquiao's 2007 Top Rank contract through public records. If you needed any more proof that minimum number of fights is standard language in TR contracts (even for his stars), this is it.



If Pacquiao's contract is based on a minimum amount of fights, do you really believe Chavez' contract would be any different?

For all of Arum's success, though, he has offended some along the way.

In a 1979 bout, Arum was so outraged by a judge's score he repeatedly yelled "Fix!" in the Puerto Rico ring, prompting a lawsuit by the judge and an out-of-court settlement. In the 1990s, Arum paid a boxing manager who intended to use the cash to bribe a boxing official to help sanction a title fight. And in 2004, the FBI also raided Arum's office because a convicted murderer-informant alleged fight fixing by Top Rank after Arum retained him as a fighter. No indictments were filed.

Arum is also celebrated for saying in 1981: "Yesterday, I was lying. Today, I'm telling the truth."
