Comments Thread For: Arum: HBO Abandoned Pacquiao After Sucking Him Dry For 10 Years!

[SilverMiles]

If Arum and Pac had got their sht together and made a decision and reserved November before other PPV's took that month, they would have had everything locked in. Early bird gets the worm!

Kind of hard to do when Ward wanted to schedule fight a year and a half into the future.

But I guess HBO has to do what's fair and take the side of Ward & Kovalev. But how funny would it be if Ward injured himself and the fight was postponed anyway?

Welcome to the real world where people who make far less get ****** dry and kicked to the curb.

Especially those that want a lot of money for not doing too much.

From Busboys to CEO's it's no different, Bob.

Vargas is the problem. He's not respected, he's been beat by a guy Pac toyed with. Bob can't terminate a contract because he wants to sell a pig in a poke. HBO has a right to a viable product, but uncle Bob is a lawyer, so what do I know?

Bitter Bob is just mad that hbo isn't buying into this trash fight being competitive nor are they buying it when Bob says that vargas will attract Hispanic fans from around the world. The only one who has been sucking pac dry for yrs is arum.

Vargas is going to be heavily promoted to the Mexican audience and they always jump to watch a Mexican fighter challenge a big name.

Rios is Mexican and had a bigger fan base then vargas does. So clearly his ppv with Manny was a success...oh wait

"Abandoned"? Why so emotional and why should HBO give a crap about the Philippines' senate schedule? Arum sounds too *****y here. Pac-Vargas ain't a PPV fight, not even Crawford.

Time is catching up to Arum. Karma?

Sorry bro triangle theories dont work in boxing. Bradley almost got knicked out by vargas anyway and didnt even get a legit win against him. Vargas just knocked out sadam ali and got the wbo title. Vargas has a fan friendly fighting style with a good resume. I bet you were one of those people who thought pacquiao broner was a good fight lol anyone who thought pacquiao broner was a good fight should like this fight even more otherwise you dont know dog crap about boxing

I kinda see what he means. He assumed that Pac, due to his history, would get PPV priority with everyone else taking a backseat.

But it's the smarter business decision. Too many PPVs = bad for business.

Hahahaha, I love seeing Arum squirm lol. Everything that comes out of Arum's mouth reeks of arrogance. Keep whining you son of a *****, you don't own HBO, deal with it! You're the one that keeps going back to the Pacquiao well time after time. I'm sure Arum would get on his knees to suck Pacquiao dry. Only thing Arum gives a **** about is money!
