Bob Arum Appreciation Thread

[Hype job]

almost everything he's said in the media in the last month has been a lie that was immediately contradicted by those more intimately involved in putting this together.

he is the best promoter of all time, but between taking Manny to get stitches in 2012, to the fake stadium, to "it's disrespectful to Mexicans", etc etc. is this a guy who deserves an appreciation thread?

fight is made so I guess he deserves some credit.

Why bring up "disrespectful to mexicans" it's a meaningless point because they agreed to the date.

He probably just thought it would be better suited to a later date, but he accepted the date and didn't make an issue out of it.

I'm really just fucking glad all these negotation debate is done with. It's kinda bittersweet to know that we're getting the megafight we always wanted but also realize that both will most likely retire after this fight.

WE LOVE YOU BOB!!! You are a true hero! You have been trying to make this fight for 5 years now but that coward was hiding like a bish. Bob finally designed a perfect trap and he fell for it. We trapped the rat, now it's time to exterminate it. Get ready, floyd is getting battered with sparring gloves!!

? If Pacquiao and Mayweather did not run into each other at the Miami Heat Game I think Arum would have moved on and setup another fight like Pacquiao vs Vargas

So More Credit goes to Pacquiao and Mayweather for Me! Seems to me like they took control of everything and really got the ball rolling on this thing

that man is taking home 25 percent of Pacquiaos money lol

Just like they lied when they told Floyd to sign the contract but Floyd said there was no contract?
Well, it turned out that it was Floyd and his team who was lying.

May the best man win.

My problem with Arum is this:

Manny does whatever Arum tells him to do. If in 2010 Arum would have told Manny to man up and take the blood tests, we would have had a fight back then.

But it seems like he wasnt inclined to do so. He didnt want it bad enough.
