Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Motivated To Stock Up on More Heavyweights

[Bronx2245]

The better question in my opinion is, why isn't Arum motivated enough to close the deal on his inhouse fights? Also, why is he doing their negotiations in public?

I'm not asking you, I'm just wondering.

Arum is also only half correct in saying the little guys are a hard sell. Promoted or self-promoted well, tho, they can be sold. Many examples are out there. Personality is a big factor and investment.

What is he doing with Berchelt? I always wonder why Tank gets so much hate, and Berchelt does not? Berchelt should have been fought Lomachenko!

Arum lost Oscar, Mayweather, Cotto, Mikey, and Manny! He's the one who seems to have a problem with "Little Guys!" Keep it up, he's gonna lose Lopez too!

The bold: Exactly.

With Berchelt, Arum isn't that confident in him, and I don't blame him. Berchelt isn't as good as many think.

Exactly! I can tell that because he could've threatened Lopez to make Lomachenko vs. Berchelt, instead of Lomachenko vs. Verdejo! Then he could've fed Valdez to Shakur!

I still remember that Flores highlight reel KO of Berchelt. He has gotten better ever since, but it remains to be seen at the top level.

Not sure Arum's that confident in Stevenson either, otherwise he wouldn't threaten Lopez with one of his worst fighters, Felix Verdejo.

What else is he going to do? Top Rank doesn't have much going for it these days. Outside of Tyson Fury they don't have a single crossover pay per view box office star.
