  • The Hypocrisy of Bob Arum On Mayweather

    BOB ARUM: Well, I think he’s probably at his most marketable up to now, but I think it’s just starting. I think that the public now is beginning to appreciate this man’s talent and as the most talented fighter in the world, he will be in the position to be the biggest attraction and make the most money. I think one thing will naturally follow the other and as long as he – as he said, is cooperative with the media, knows and understands promotion, the sky is the limit.

    I really believe that before he’s finished, he will earn more money than any fighter in the history of boxing.

    Bob Arum Calls Mayweather Jr. "Delusional," Says No Way Will He Get Even A 50/50 Purse Split For Pacquiao Fight"You can tell Floyd Mayweather that Bob Arum says he's delusional," Arum said. "Floyd is not the attraction. Manny is the attraction. Floyd's got no idea what he's talking about. Floyd must be hallucinating when he said he wants the bigger purse and wouldn't agree to a 50/50 split. Even a 50/50 split with Floyd Mayweather is nonsense."

    BOB ARUM, CHAIRMAN, TOP RANK: I want to welcome you to this conference call. It’s really a pleasure as we get down to crunch time. We have the best fighter in the world, “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather, on this call. Floyd, I know, can’t wait for April 8th to show everybody once again how truly talented he is. In my opinion, yesterday [March 29, 1966 - Ali v. Chuvalo] was my 40th year in boxing and “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather, next to the early Muhammad Ali, is the best fighter that I’ve ever seen..

    Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter, called him "the best fighter I've ever seen," a high compliment from a man who also promoted Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard -- and Floyd Mayweather.

        Bob's gotta pay for his lies to manny...u know the one about him (manny) being the best fighter he's ever seen?

        Bobby's gotta pay cause manny's the biggest draw in boxing and to prove
        that he has to get more in his fights than mayweather gets in his...

          yeah I agree. Pay the man every cent...plus one.

          Who knows how much revenue Pac has created for Bob Arum?
          There should be no problem paying Manny what he wants.

                  I don't think its that much. But It seems odd that Bob deals mostly with non americans. I'm sure they give him a lil more cut to get the foothold here. I mean giving up 27-30% of 1 mil is better than giving up 10% of 250 k
