I know we all give promoters a bad time (almost always deservedly)...Arum gets as much flack as the next shady promoter BUT
Putting his two money makers together in an amazing match up where somebody was going to be potentially beaten up bad and have their starpower fade a little, I have to give the man credit for making the best fights out there.
He done it last year with Margarito and Cotto too (although it wouldn't have mattered if Marg got busted up as he was never a cash cow) - He risked Cotto big time.
I know they're all pretty shady but can you imagine a prick like Frank Warren putting 2 of his money makers together? I can't!
In fact if anyone can give me other examples of inter-promotional fights, I'd be really appreciative.
Just wanted to stop by and give Arum his props.
