arum i so full of shlt lol

[tiliheels]

now crawford fights someone who makes him even less marketable right bob? bc thats how bad of a promoter u've become!

[JJRod]

This is like the Mosley fight all over again

Arum doesn't give a damn what the boxing fans say he makes the fights he wants.

[nveleven]

this is is the equivalent of a Floyd/Maidana trilogy.
Zero point to this nonsense.
Can't believe this is PPV

"Selling the fight with Tim requires way less work on my end so we went with him" -Bob Arum

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

bumley thought people hated him before they really hate him, if only he had some real personality and charisma he could flip the script and go the Mayweather route but he cant sell that cause he a lame.

That oppurtunity is ripe for Bradley to flip the script on everyone, boxing looking for that villian lol

but back to the thread actual subject and bradley isnt as marketable as alot of other options but you settle for bradley, the reason they settle on bradley he poses no risk and they know what they are getting with him, with crawford they dont know. Pacquaio is fighting on past this fight another L will be a bad look for him and really hurt sales and crawford can give him that L but bradley they already know ost likely wont so safe bet to keep the money train that is manny pacquaio running on fumes for as long as they can.

"Easier to market and easier to win, as our pal Floyd would say, 'easy work'" -Bob Arum

[aboutfkntime]

So Arum lied about giving Pacquiao choices.

basically, yea he did ^^

but that was just Bob-speak, nobody was expected to remember that

[ShoulderRoll]

Amir Khan would have been marketable and would bring UK viewers. Plus we haven't seen him lose to Pac twice already.

Slap in the Face

This is a huge slap in the face of Terence Crawford. How do you know this fight wouldn't sell if you didn't even give him a damn chance? His popularity is growing by fight. He's a Top 10 pound for pound fighter. Hell you can make a argument right now he's rated higher than Pac and Bradley.

Terence Crawford star is on the rise, while both Bradley and Pac's are falling. It's a shame this happened to him, and don't be surprised if he up's and leaves Top Rank when his contract his up.

Money May situation all over again. Except Oscar was a young superstar while Pac is a old superstar.

By the way HBO the boxing fans that pay for the pay per view platform for your network didn't want to see this fight for the third time. Hell we wouldn't have seen it for the second damn time if it wasn't for a highway robbery the first time they met. Best of luck on your network and Top Rank making a profit off this mismatch. Best of luck on marketing Mr. Arum your going to need it.
