arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
if dudes wanna see floyd fight any top rank fighter than arum needs to be not involved and thats it.
of course thats not possible because pac stayed with him so...
or pac could say that he's fine physically and demand the fight with floyd publically but we all know that wouldn't happen.
dont get me wrong pac and cotto aren't scared of floyd but they just aren't the type of dudes to go against the grain with a guy like arum.pac needs to just say fuck u arum im calling the shots and not u.but him and cotto are mister ill fight whoever my promotor puts in front of me so we all know what that means...
no fight,it'll be some more in house bullshit as usual.
it'll be any combonation of bradley,jmm,cotto,and pac.
i wouldn't be surprised to see cotto-pac again and have jmm bradley fighting the winner or vice versa...
i've been saying for years that arum was and still is the main reason why floyd never fought certain fighters.margo,cotto,pac,etc.
jmm is still with gbp i think,but for some reason he's all to willing to deal with arum.
what are your thoughts on this?
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
Cotto is technically a free agent now, so I wouldn't be suprised to see him fight Floyd next. Too bad it's about four years too late.
I've lost all hope in ever seeing a Mayweather - Pacquiao showdown.

totally agree , the Pacman fight should have happened over 2 years ago , the Cotto fight should have happened too , i just dont understand regarding Cotto why Mayweather didnt want a piece of him
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
u guys must not be famaliar with the history.
floyd wanted to fight cotto at 140 but arum publically said that cotto wasn't ready yet.
floyd also wanted to fight mosley on 3 seperate occasions from like 03-07 but mosley came up with a lot of excuses.his most famous one was that he had a toothache.

Arum is the only reason the fight hasn't happened. Cotto is no longer signed with arum but probably will still work with him. Both Mosley and Marquez went separate from GBP to get the Pac fight. Thats probably why Bradley didn't take the Khan fight and let his promotional contract end and then signed with top rank in hopes of getting big money against Pacman.
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
Arum is all about being what we call a control freak. Do you remember the story about the kid who was playing basketball and took the ball and went home because he was losing? That's Bob! For now he has the ball and you'd better play it his way until you can afford your own ball figuratively speaking.
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
I've never been one to hate somebody that I've never even met, but after reading this article ( Blame Bob Arum for no Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight - ESPN ), I gotta say I truly despise Bob Arum. Greedy, lying bastard! Not that this is news, though...just really infuriating at this point.
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
Arum just gets in the way of everything. He's just a giant pain in the ass
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
Arum had some big fights at welter and middleweight in the 80's.
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
Promoters like King and Arum are a dying breed. Anytime you have a 3rd interest in there (besides the fighters and the fans), you're bound to have these logjams and unfulfilled fights. Cotto did the right thing, as did De la Hoya before him. Drop Arum, and do your own thing. Sooner or later, Arum's services will no longer be required.
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
Do not blame the promoters all the time, fighters need to take responsibility too.
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
Not arguing that. But promoters are like a 3rd wheel. What's the need? Two guys want to fight? The money's there? Then, as Mills Lane used to say.... "Let's get it on!!" Do we really need an old, rich fogie hanging around, scheming as to how he can get richer while he dangles potential fights in front of fans like raw T-bones in front of starving dogs? F*ck Arum and his cohorts.
Re: arum loves keeping shit in house and always has!!
Well... without the promotion, we don't see the fights. Like or dislike the man, he is making the fight happen. gossip.... ever notice how all the negative talk brings about the attention?

Promoters also get IN THE WAY of fights. The public wants it, the fighters want it.... but the promoter waits until "the time is right", which translated into plain English, means he puts on the fight only when it serves his own best interests. Sometimes, by the time the fight DOES go down, the peaks are lost. But us boxing fans, being the insatiable bunch we are, nevertheless flock to the PPV's, no matter how much the promoters are screwing everybody over.
Notice the trend here? High profile fighters leaving the Arums to promote their OWN fights? Let's hope this continues, and that it brings about some much needed changes.
