Comments Thread For: Arum Explains Why Lomachenko-Linares Being on HBO is a 'Waste'

[lolpz]

Yeah because Haymon put real jokes of fights on tv.

Ok, give me a list of the good fights Arum has put on ESPN and I will give you a list of the good fights Haymon put on free network boxing within the same exact time frame.

Pacquiao v Horn on ESPN is not free, Arum was a liar.

It was free for anyone who had Espn which almost all of american households with cable and satelite do. Right now since Haymons failed time buys ran out Arum is giving fans the least expensive way to watch good fights. Golden Boy abd Pbc are both on premium networks and are in 2/3 less households like Arum said. Golden Girl doesnt want more people watching Linares get destroyed

If we dont get to see Loma Linares Golden Boy and Hbo are the only ones to blame. Linares is fighting on undercards right now and Arum is offering 5x his biggest payday. All the negotiations are already worked out Golden Girl and Hbo just have to say yes and their not. Oh well Ray Beltran is a champion and always gives a good fight. I think the outcome will be a Loma victory by no mas whether its Linares or Beltran.

It was always going to be Beltran! Top Rank always talks about Fighter A, which is usually a fight you want to see, then they turn to Fighter B, which is usually an in-house fighter that you don't want to see as much as Fighter A! Next, it's always Fighter A's fault!

Arum will say anything. First of all, ESPN is not free. Secondly, this is the same man that is trying to sell Crawford vs Horn & Pacquiao vs Alvarado as a PPV. Most importantly, if HBO is offering Loma more money, shouldn't Loma's management be trying to get him the biggest payday?

Top Rank is contractually bound to Espn so therefore Loma cannot fight on Hbo at all. Plus he is the A side by a huge margin and is being offered 5x his career best payday. If they dont accept the fight its on Golden Girl and Hbo.

Linares is fighting on undercards right now and Loma just got 2 million people to watch his last fight. Theyre offering Linares 5x what he normally makes so how is it Arums fault that Golden Girl and Hbo wont let him fight Loma?

I guess they forgot about PBC on FOX and CBS? Bob is following Haymon's lead! I'm glad to see that, especially after Haymon had spend so much time in court dealing with Arum and De La Hoya's frivolous lawsuits!

You are throwing around lies and masquerading them as facts. Hbo is not going to pay 2x as much lets be serious. The fact of the matter is even if Arum wanted to let Loma fight on Hbo he cant because Top Rank is contractually bound to Espn why is that so hard to understand. Since when does the B side make all the demands and determine the network and date anyway? Arum offered Linares 5x his biggest payday so how can you say hes preventing it? Everyone always wants Arum to be the one to bend over and take it even when Arums fighter is the A side and hes offering big money

GBP says HBO offered the most money! I don't know who is lying, TR or GBP. What I did know from the jump, was there was no way that HBO would agree to let GBP take Linares (the Champ) to fight Lomachenko (the challenger), on a rival network, on a date that they (HBO and GBP) have a card too! That's asking too much? What does HBO get out of that? TR will have this problem for both Loma and Crawford! What's Bob gonna do? Tell Spence, Thurman, Porter, and Garcia, that they have to come to ESPN for Crawford?
