    Bob Arum said Peter Nelson of HBO DKSAB

    This video was 7 months but wanted to take a look back at Arum's prediction about HBO with Nelson.

    Starts @ 1:42

    *He's not gonna give up his ability match make and build fighters to Peter Nelson who's been in boxing for a cup of coffee and doesn't know anything about match making.

    *Talks about Ramirez on streak and looking good until Nelson choose an opponent for Ramirez and Ramirez won but look horrible.

    *HBO can reject any fight he presents them. After Soto and Beltran fell out for Oscar Valdez, Arum presented two opponents to Nelson. He rejected them and Valdez, a young prospect, ended up fighting off TV.

    *HBO needs to reign in Nelson or else they're gonna get Kovalev against mismatches. GGG against mismatches. The network of mismatches.

    *He speaks about moving his fighters to another network but Showtime has aligned with Haymon. What's happening with Nelson at HBO isn't good for HBO and isn't good for boxing

        Arum was just mad Nelson wanted to put his guy in deeper waters than Arum wanted to put him in. I bet you could find a video of Arum dogging out virtually everyone in the boxing business if you looked hard enough. Having said that I do think Arum & Nelson got a difference of opinion of how boxing programming should work, but whats Arum gonna do? He's pretty married to HBO at this point in the game & Haymon seems to have Showtime under lock & key damn near so idk if there is room for the both of them.
