Comments Thread For: Arum: We're Not Welcome, No Pacquiao Grand Arrival

[The Big Dunn]

-When Marley, who used to work for Don King as a publicist, was identified as the first person with a question by the moderator, Arum lost it.

-***8220;It was all f----- up," Arum told The News. ***8220;First of all, I told them I didn***8217;t want a conference call and they said, ***8216;No, we***8217;ll just have the ***8216;A***8217; journalists on the call.***8217; And there were so many people that (Ed) Keenan, who was supposed to monitor this didn***8217;t get through and the first call is from (expletive) Mike Marley. So I mean, I told them I didn***8217;t want the bloggers on.***8221;

-***8220;First of all the conference calls are ******,***8221; he said. ***8220;What they should do is get a group of five or six writers and talk to Manny. Manny is no good on these calls. Once I heard that the first caller was Mike Marley I knew that they were screwed up. And that***8217;s nothing against Marley but who the (expletive) is the ***8216;Examiner?***8217; Or whatever he said.***8221;

I'll give 'em 10 minutes. I'm not sitting on hold forever. I figure I'll call 'em up, see if I get the tickets. If not, I'm not worried about it.

[AllBoxingAD]

Cong**** to the lucky few of you who got tickets.

I hope you have the best boxing weekend of your lives.

I hope you guys can share the ambiance with us while you out there.

The whole hype around this fight makes me laugh.

Cmon, it is just a ww fight. Promotors in USA are acting like it is undisputed heavyweight championship fight.

No, it is not like Ali - Foreman or Ali- Frazier. Not even close. It is just a fight, like de la Hoya - Quartey, for example. Or Floyd - Judah.
