    If Haymon doesn't bail out Top Rank... is Arum finished?

    It doesn't make sense why Haymon would bail out Arum when the fighters can get out of their contract once Arum has failed to produce on his end.

    I don't think Arum would be finished. He's been in the game 40 years and he can adapt. However Arum is a wounded dog right now so it's better to make him an ally. Where he can be controlled.

      I don't think Arum needs a Bailout just a Alternative to HBO since he made enemies with Peter Nelson because he probably never though that he would be in full charge at HBO. Can anybody blame Peter Nelson for fazing Arum out at HBO?



      Arum still the best Promoter in the sport hands down, nobody build stars like Bob Arum. He knows WTF he is doing! Of course he is not getting any younger but Arum is still sharp

        That's like saying JC Penny's has been around forever so they will never go bankrupt.

            Arum has been around 40 years, he's not getting pushed out by anyone. This is good news, imagine some of the fights we could get.. Bradley,Lomachenko,Crawford etc....those guys just got a ton of fight possibilities if they do indeed work together.

              TS is one of those posters that jumps all over pbc haters and says pbc is good for boxing but will diss all other promoters like they are not good for the sport.

                People keep acting like its PBC vs the boxing world. That isn't the case. For PBC to succeed he NEEDS to make connections to the Arum's, the De La Hoya's & hell even the Jay Z's & other guys in the boxing world. What Haymon is allegedly trying to attempt can't succeed even with his impressive roster without others jumping on board along with their talented fighters. Crawford, Loma, Felix, Vargas & Bradley among other TR fighters potentially being a "PBC Fighters" (which just means they are on PBC cards, don't get all excited simple mfers!). Thats good for Arum. Thats good for Haymon. Thats good for PBC's future. And ultimately, I feel (many are sure to disagree), its good for boxing.
