Comments Thread For: Bradley-Rios: Arum is Determined To Make it a Reality

[wlliam]

Bobby has a point. But I'd like to hear his take on Rios-Brook falling apart.

Again, this is Bob Arum were talkn about. Do/did ppl actually believe that Bob was keen to make RiosProvo and BrookBradley? Were talkn aboout Top Rank, Bobs always done it this way. Dont know why anybody expected anything else

This fight should be easy done! I like this fight, Rios has bounced back from the Manny fight beautifully and would definitely be a challenge to Bradley, they are both TR, just get it done, take my money!

He's not saying they owe him, he's saying HBO Sports made money and some of that money, logically, goes back into investing in other fights. They may have a budget they follow on a yearly basis, but after May 2nd, that wasn't an average year. Bob is merely using the revenue generated as an argument against HBO saying they can't spend much more. Whether they cough up or not is a different story.

HBO might very well just be posturing, trying to bring the purses down a bit is all, but Arum seems content on perusing this so we'll see how it plays out.

Real good post, hope you're right.

This is Bob Arum were talkn about. TopRank, in house? Ringing any bells. Provo isnt co-promoted by Bob anymore...i cant believe ppl actually thought RiosProvo was realistic

Aah true ^^ good point.

It's not a terrible fight, as long as it's not on PPV. It should be a win for Bradley, and a fun fight.

Still, I'd have rather seen Rios/Ruslan and Bradley/Sadam Ali than this one.

Sounds more like he thinks they owe him something for it, when they really don't. They did their job, got paid, theoretically they can spend their money on whatever fights they like.

are you smoking hashish? why would any real boxing fan not want to see this fight? They both have action packed styles and are both top 10 welterweights. Bradley Vs. Rios is a better fight than any of the PBC fights so far that's for sure.

brandon rios is pure gargabe and should not even be relevant smh

I swear some of you guys are never satisfied. You have two come forward guys fighting each other in best division in boxing. How can you complain about Mayweather's fights being too boring and then crap on a fight that's going to be all out action. So called "boxing fans" are nothing but cry babies these days.
