    Why do people say Bob Arum is Pacquiao's puppet master yet they like Al Haymon?

    Who's doing the same thing? He's controlling careers, avoiding the best fights possible yet when he does it, it's cool but when Arum does it, it's horrible. Don't you see the double standards in that logic? I don't condone anybody controlling someone's career but you have to call out everyone who does it and not just a certain somebody.

      Like how people only call out Haymon fights and not Bob Arums? I agree.

        Did the same poster you saw calling arum this also say he liked Haymon or are you generalizing what posters think based on a few posts?

          Arum has no clue about boxing

          He's only been promoting big fights for over 4 decades

            Idk,but its been proven that haymon literally stops his fighters from taking risky fights. Hell,Leo Santa Cruz admitted that haymon was the one that pulled the plug on the rigo fight.

              Few posts? More like certain fan bases which make up most of this forum.

                Manny fans make up the bulk of the forum.

                You did the same thing in your liking Manny thread. You take any criticism of Manny as hate. That's your issue and not reality.

                Bob has a significantly larger sample set from which judgment is based on. Posters tend not to like Haymon simply because of how he has elevated Floyd.

                Both have done good things and bad. Both have been criticized.

                  I'm sorry when did people become fans of promoters and advisers?
