Bob Arum begging for mercy?

[about.thousands]

Bob won't even work with himself. Loma vs Walters & Crawford vs Postol could've been made without Haymon. Rios vs. Brook or Provodnikov could've been made without Haymon. Bradley vs Brook or Vargas could've been made without Haymon.

Instead of creating another thread does anyone know who would eventually take over for this old fart when he finally pops his clogs?
I really do hope it's someone who cares about the sport whilst Bob put on some great fights he's been nothing but a douche as of recent.

His step-son, Todd DuBoef, basically runs the company now. Bob is the face of the company and probably tells DuBoef which direction he wants to company to go in and Bob probably has the final word if it comes down to that.

Like I said yesterday this is the smart move by Bob. HBO is giving the best dates to K2, GBP and Main Events and the secondary dates to them and Roc Nation as they have bigger stars then TR (except Manny who may be retiring but likely will take a hit from his gay bashing).

SHowtime has money and available dates and Haymon has quality fighters that would give us the fights we want.

If this whole lawsuit ends up getting dropped, Arum and Haymon start working together, and we get the fights we want, shouldn't we all be pushing for this?

I really doubt that haymon is going to help out arum since hes suing him for 100 M plus making Haymon waste money on lawyers

I agree, but if you are Bob, you gotta try anything you can to get dates for your fighters. If the money is drying up at HBO, try and go to showtime.

Arum said ball is in Haymon's court. Says he wants to make the fights, lawsuit won't stop it.

bobarum tells us on podcast stephenEspinoza is a great boxing guy and he's interested in bringing fights to @SHOsports
Looks like arum pissed of Peter nelson
Lol cause he's suing al haymon

Bobs a lawyer, he knows something going on behind the scenes, he may know his claims against Haymon are frivolous in court. Court is just a stall tactic with a slight chance of getting a monetary kick down imo, GBP and TR had to slow the PBC train down so they can either figure how to work with them or without them. Its been about a year now since PBC launch so now the hand is being extended...

arum benefits from talking to media unlike haymon.. he can say this bs and some fans will eat it up.. if i was haymon id do it under the condition the lawsuit is dropped

Remember when Moonves called him the devil?

This old man burned to many bridges IMO

Yep and the difference now is he doesn't have De La Hoya, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Duran, Ali, Foreman, Hearns, Barkley, Holmes etc. Bob has always had a fighter he could use as leverage. That's why I've always said Bob didn't want Manny to fight Floyd all those years because he didn't have a fighter to replace him with should he lose.

The sport is drying. I could feel it. Showtime hasn't been doing well either, even after being saved by the Pac/May fight. Only difference with these people is that Arum is vocal about it. PBC is also showing signs of cracks and Haymon is letting his fighters to fight on HBO.
