Comments Thread For: Arum Annoyed, Jabs HBO Over Treatment of Lomachenko/Postol

[daggum]

Absolutely! Why because Arum forum 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.

postol isn't a superstar though. he's a dud. if you try to market him like a superstar you will be hurting badly when no one comes to see his clinch fests and no one watches(unless its against another name fighter) therefore the only way he gets his clinching ass on hbo is if its against someone relevant. hbo is not going to build him up berto/broner style witha series of mismatches because he won't even look good in them. at least berto/broner had somewhat entertaining fights maybe kinda sorta. postol/matthysse was the worst fight since wlad/povetkin. dear god. alright cong**** you got the win by clinching nonstop but you torpedoed your career in the process.

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.








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.

Bobs just mad he cant bend Nelson over the table like he did the last exec. HBO needs to start leaning on Bob for better marchups instead of the less intriguing, predictable bouts that nobody cares to see. HBO should lean on him about CrawfordPostal, Crawford vs anybody but the guys hes been facing, BradleyBrook..basically just take the stance of -these are the fight we'll pay for, can u deliver them? If not, we'll have to look elsewhere to fill the date-

In the past yr its seems Bobs lost a lot of leverage qith HBO and IMO its bcuz of his merry go round shtthouse fights

Bob & Top Rank are finding it tough in the business, Crawford is becoming irrelevant too. Shame more promoters don't work together!

I agree with Bob about Gonzalez. He's another Nelson/media creation. He's beat one good fighter and he's p4p #1 and still fighting guys with double digit losses in their 30's.

Only wanting Power Punchers on your Network is not sustainable

You have a good point there. Gonzalez is his pet project so let's see

With Pacquiao retiring Bob doesn't have a bargaining chip to use for leverage.

Nothing against Peter Nelson, I think he is smarter than what Arum wants to give him credit for and I think he will develop some new Superstars

[rckdees]

Looks like all of scumbag bob's in house breeding is really starting to wear thin

[el malo]

HBO has to save the budget for GGG vs Hopkins and Kovalev vs Pascal 3. HBO boxing at it's finest.

All I ever hear is Loma hype but he can't even get a main event at 28. Deal with it.
