[aldo5408]

Lol so now peter nelson is supposed to give arum any dates or matches he wants

[Fetta]

Bob stuck in limbo along with his fighters. Bob talking bad about Nelson wont help the situation.

RN and Duva with Ward/Kov
GBP and K2 with Canelo/GGG
RN and Zanfer with Cotto/JMM

TR shouldnt be burning bridges cause HBO has other fighters from other promoters to fall back on for big fights and still have TR who would jump at the chance to be on it. Get back in line and wait your turn you dinosaur

I wanna see both these guys again.

And to those, Postol made Lucas quit. Had nothing to do with holding all to do with a punch.

[HandsofIron]

I'm down with anything Loma, awesome offensive pure boxer who isn't afraid to go toe-to-toe, a rarity nowadays. He should get more air time. Postol not so much, I don't want to see another Wladdy Klit-light clinching, holding and running around all night. Sissy fighter, no interest in him.

When did fans started sticking up for Networks>Promoters

Arum Track Record is PROMOTER, he has helped build up Crossover SUPERSTARS in Oscar, Mayweather and Pacquiao...WTF has Peter Nelson done?

I'm with Arum here because Arum Track Record and history tells me that old man knows WTF he is doing and he knows how to build up Superstars like no other in boxing today STILL!

[Cuban Linx]

What's probably going on here is that he's offering mismatches and HBO is declining them.

There were reports that Postol was going to face Burns. If I was running HBO I'd decline that fight immediately. He probably had Lomachenko fighting another no-hoper lined up and they rejected that as well.

I strongly doubt that HBO would decline Lomachenko vs. Walters, and Postol - Granados on the same card. But I doubt Bob actually has those fights lined up.

[HI-TECH Boxing]

People think they are stars. Put Loma vs Romula anywhere but New York as a main event and I'm not sure it draws 2,000 paid crowd.

When did Lomachenko or his fans say he was a star? If you don't like Loma cool, but don't go saying BS like this.

This is what happens when you tell off Showtime and PBC and have only one place to go.

Then sell it to another network........Oh that's right!....Arum burned every bridge he has in the industry and cornered himself into solely dealing with HBO who is operating on a thin budget.

Yeah, it was pretty dumb of Arum to burn bridges like that. He should have kept his mouth shut. But he never does and never will. He's been talking bad about Peter Nelson for a while now, this can make things worse or it could potentially help. It looks like it's going to make things worse.

This could definitely be what is going on.
Funny how HBO didn't turn down the mismatches already scheduled though.

So peter nelson is supposed to let arum put on whatever matches whenever he wants? Why doesn't arum put Loma or Postol on tru tv or another network. Or maybe in a ppv undercard slot.

Show time is investing alot of money on the 122 and 126 division. Their showing frampton, quigg, russel, mares, santa cruz , Shelby etc. If arum hadn't insulted showtime I know the would have loved to put on the loma v walters fight.

Absolutely! Why? Because Arum formula for creating Superstars WORK! Again I ask, who the hell has Peter Nelson helped turn into Crossover Superstars?

Thing was better when Promoters would offer Networks matches and either the buy or they did not. Instead now you have Networks trying to play matchmaker.

Only wanting Power Punchers on your Network is not sustainable

[HanzGruber]

im sure al would gladly put loma on pbc if ol bob dropped his bs lawsuit
