Comments Thread For: Arum Comments on Rejection Claims By Provodnikov

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum would like to see Ruslan Provodnikov (23-3, 16KOs) in a lucrative opportunity against a fighter in his stable, but says his promoter, Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions, is very difficult to deal with.

Provodnikov has voiced his anger over being unable to secure fights against Tim Bradley, Carlos Abregu, Jessie Vargas and Brandon Rios - who are all promoted by Top Rank. Because of his inability to secure any of those fighters, the "Siberian Rocky" has been forced to book a November return date in Moscow, Russia. [Click Here To Read More]

The good side to this is now Provo might face a Golden Boy fighter.

If he was offering those fighters anything like what Herrera said he was offered by Provodnikov's people, then I don't blame them for turning it down.

I have it on good authority that Artie Pellulo is basically broke. A lot of truth to this I think.

Arum is the new Don King

Everyone that doesnt bow to Arum is difficult to deal with

Promoter X: "No Bob, I will not put my best fighter in for 10% of the purse bid and give you his contract if he wins."

Rob ArScum: "This guy is too difficult to deal with"

[Lou Cipher]

"People pay the fighters, not so the promoter puts a lot of money in his own pocket." Meanwhile every Top Rank fighter including Pacquiao ends up not only broke but in serious debt while Rob ArScum prepares to be buried in a gold casket lined and stuffed with $100 bills
