Arum pulled the long con ODlh and ruined Golden boy

[The Big Dunn]

In theory at least shouldn't we as fans root for a fighter to be successful in the promotional aspect of boxing. All of these business types have been robbing fighters blind since the inception of the sport.

I may not like ODH but I wasn't rooting for him to fail. I want GBP to be successful because I am a fan of the sport.

Yes, I want fighters to get more of the money and think every big seller should copy ODH and promote themselves and get the max amount of the money. Frankly, I'd be surprised if Canelo doesn't branch off by himself.

Just think ODH forgot that business is a far dirtier and nastier game than boxing. Arum, Schaffer, and Haymon didn't get to where they are by being nice guys.

I know that Oscar is a grown man,but it still seems like Arum took advantage of him during a vulnerable period in his life. I personally wouldn't do that to someone looking for friendship, but Arum probably doesn't care much about morality these days anyway.

If Oscar had his principles right, his company wouldn't be a mess.

Oscar has a wife. Oscar has children. Oscar has a child he won't acknowledge. If he was looking for friendship, he didn't have to look far.

His bitterness got the better of him. You remove Floyd from the equation, I doubt he would have fallen out with Schaeffer.

Fair game. These are DIRECT competitors. I worked for Microsoft for a couple years, you would be ASTONISHED at the **** they do in spite of their competitors.

All of things that you've said are true, but if psychoanalyze his life and his career it's quite disturbing. He had a father that never acknowledged his success for most of his career which left a void that Arum was there to feel it for most of his career. I don't think that it's a coincidence that Arum was the first person that he contacted to make amends. I think to a degree he'll always be looking for the approval that he never got from his father.
