Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Slides in, Snatches K9 Bundrage Shot?

[Mitchell Kane]

So HBO is going to subsidize Arum's emotional power plays? It could happen but I doubt they will be happy paying Bradley $2 million and another million for K9 who will have to be paid well to pass up the Cotto bout.

It will be interesting how far HBO is willing to bend backwards for top rank, it's not like haymon doing SHO dirty last year. HBO works with other promoters.

Arum's a businessman.

It seems like Cotto fans are the one's getting the most emotional about this.

It doesn't get more emotional than placing a hold on Madison Square Garden on the weekend of the Puerto Rican Day parade...and then trying to steal away Cotto's opponent on top of that.

Arum is acting like a woman who got used for sex then dumped right after.

That's business.

...and then trying to steal away Cotto's opponent on top of that.

Still business.

Getting in a bidding war and overpaying for K9 is bad business.

Arum is clearly attempting to retaliate against Cotto for going with another promoter.

Lol @ Arum trying to steal Cotto's opponent. Cotto should just fight another guy and call arum bluff. Lets see them over pay for Bradley-Bundrage.

[Ringlife]

Arum cutting deep taking things personally.

[WarMaidana]

You've seen the numbers?

Bottom line is don't bite the hand that feeds you. Cotto made his move and now Arum has the cash to make him pay. He has done business with that man long enough to know that he is a snake and snakes bite when provoked.
