Bob Arum and HBO make boxing great

[jmrf4435]

I'm soooo confused how people an like showtime better for fights. HBO haass such better cards top to bottom

[Hype job]

I've always thought HBO's production is the best in the sport. It really presents itself in a class manner, like you're watching the sport at it's highest level.

HBO also seem to be taking more control of who they'll accept as opponents and seem to hold firm in not getting bullied by fighters or promoters to accept gimme's as they used to.

Unfortunately, their output has decreased and we're lucky to get a show a month from them these days, but they're usually high quality shows (like last night's double header).

That's why The Big Dunn and The Gambler are hating.

Ray Mancini was a hype job and Levinstein Bramble exposed him No Shucking and Jiving needed

I don't disagree but what he said is true.

Lets leave the Floyd vs Pac fanbase aside. In all honesty, Top Rank wouldve handled this infinitely better, wouldn't you agree?

That's why The Big Dunn and The Gambler are hating.

You think that is hating? I enjoy HBO boxing but in the grand scheme of boxing it is them who are the problem, they have run the ship for a long time in the US so I know what HBO control is and they are a diminishing force in the industry as a whole compared to what they were.

So they either need to get with the program, or start actually growing again. You know instead of continually slashing their boxing budget, which is not a sign of faith or growth in the industry.

I would call that being real~ "I tell it how it is, and you tell it how it might be"

[The Gambler1981]

I used to enjoy Mikey Garcia, but Bob Arum is obviously keeping him sidelined for his love of the game~

[Sosay]

You guys are not boxing fans at all. **** Arum, Haymon, Oscar, HBO and Showtime.
if they don't work together then I blame all of them for it not happening. I love boxing and don't give af about anyone that doesn't step in the ring. It seems you guys love the Drama like most females.

[SkillspayBills]

Pathetic. Users supporting promoters and networks against one another. Literally one of the very worst things to come to this board.

[KoolAidMan]

Seriously guys. Let's drop the Mayweather-Pacquiao fanaticism for a minute.


From a pure business standpoint. How can you not say, Arum is not a great promoter? This guy promoted legendary fighters like Ali, Hagler, ODLH and Manny and Mayweather as well. He has so much class and he's such an intelligent and great speaker.


Just look at how he talks about Mayweather. Nothing but class tbh...
