Arum talk of tuneup fights for Peterson and Marquez before showdown

[Master]

I have no doubt that Khan would bust up Ortiz, Arum has prevented Khan fighting Bradley or Peterson, what a spiteful businessman.

Bang on the button, the modern day snake oil salesman that is Bob Arum, talks about his love of Boxing whilst lining his pockets and screwing fight fans out of some decent contests.

I am not a man that would typically wish death upon anyone, but I repeatedly wish it upon Bob Arum. Cardiac arrest for that man would be a delightful thing for the typical boxing fan.

This is wrong. Bradley dodged Khan prior to signing with Arum, and in terms of Bradley's success, it probably was the smart thing to do if he ends up facing Pacquiao. Bradley could have signed with GB, right?

Why did Bradley and Peterson sign with Top Rank?

I'm not completely a defender of Arum per se, but I believe the "Arum's ruining boxing" is way overdone. Which promoter promoted last year's fight of the year in the Wolak v. Rodriguez I? Top Rank. Who signed them for a rematch? Cotto v. Margarito? Soto v. Antillon? Got boxing into a football stadium? I'm playing devil's advocate, clearly, because there is no doubt he's done wrong in the sport too. Still, the anti-Arum bit is overdone.

I feel this deserves a thread of it's own
Is Bob Arum ruining boxing?
