Comments Thread For: Provodnikov's Promoter Responds To Arum's Comments

Damn as if Arum couldn't make Rios vs Provodnikov?! That would have been huge in the states.

Yeah but Rios is damaged goods. Arum knows it. Putting him in with Provo would be leading his guy to the slaughter house. He probably wants to milk a couple more fights out of him.

rios doesn't want it, he said he'd fight him for the right money but I don't see prov becoming a bigger draw any time soon...meanwhile these tr fighters are fighting the likes of algieri and chaves who are decent but have had less exposure on hbo

...and dont forget alvarado who has basically served as a punching bag for top rank's hardest punchers at 140-147

Arum is poison to boxing. He really needs to move on.

Has anyone noticed that, even though Arum and GBP are supposedly working together again, no fights have been scheduled between the two promoters' fighters. In fact, the only fight that they are even talking about doing together is Cotto/Alvarez and Arum is not officially Cotto's promoter.

So, not only is Provodnikov not able to get a fight with one of Arum's fighters, neither is any fighters under the GBP banner.

Abregu vs Sadam Ali is their first co-promotion together, on the BHOP undercard I think.
