    Arum has done it well for over 50 some years promoting boxing

    Bob Arum has successfully promoted big time boxing for over 50 years and done it well. Hard to criticize Arum after what Bob has ACCOMPLISHED. But the UFC is doing a good job also. Success comes in many ways and is often shared equally.

      Bob Arum has put on worse circuses, yet folks didn't seem to say ****.

      Conor McGregor is almost certain to get thoroughly dominated by Floyd, but you can't tell me that this coming fight is worse than when Arum dragged the one-eyed Antonio Margarito down to 150lbs (and near death, from what was written) to fight Manny Pacquiao and marketed that fight as being on the level. lol

      And I doubt that you'll actually end up paying for either show, tbh; if you're going to spend the time to try and steal Mayweather-McGregor, I doubt you shell out for a fight that would be even easier to steal.

        Pacquiao vs Margarito at 150lbs was a worse freak show, and folks had no issue with that.

          I don't stream fights that are on PPV. I support the fighters and boxing 110%.I usually always buy at least 3-4 boxing matched a year.

          UFC has like 2 PPV'S a month.

            Margarito actually has boxed his whole life. McGregor has NEVER boxed pro or even amateur

              Would not be mad if the people behind the UFC got into boxing They do a better job building up New Stars than any of the boxing promoters today!

                150lbs for Margarito wasnt that bad, he weighed 145lbs for Mosley and fought on his bike against some can in Mexico at 154lbs after that. Besides Margarito and his plaster had no room to negotiate, he was lucky to get that fight with Manny imo.

                All of Chavez Jr.'s ppv's with Arum would be a far better example of a circus(es).

                  You broke or something cuz if its like that then why not watch both for free? The Floyd fight will end in a stoppage while nelo & lil g will go to the cards.

                    Imagine the boxing purses under the UFC? lol! People complain about Arum being greedy and most of whats said is true but Arums made a lot of millionaires. UFC, well not so much.

                      4 meetings to get the soon to be highest grossing fight of all time done. Now tell me again it was a Floyd's fault the Pac fight took so long. IT WAS ALWAYS ARUM
