Bob Arum is everything that is wrong with Boxing - Says no co-promotion with GBP

[IamInuit]

It's a little early in the day for Arum to be drawing a line in the sand. Having said that if the roles were reversed Oscar would be doing the same thing. Donaire is the money pit for the division and probably in the top five draws in boxing. Mares on the other hand could not draw earthworms to a shit party. When and if serious talks begin say by the middle of next year Arum will probably give him a low ball offer.

The attendance to their last two fights:

Donaire VS Nishioka - 6,203
Mares VS Moreno - 6,341

Neither of them are huge draws but if this event was promoted on a big scale Mares would draw more Latino fans than Donaire could draw out Phillipino fans.

I'm not talking about the live gate.

What attendance figures are you talking about? I 'm not too proud to ask.

ppv or the draw to the broadcast. Donaire has it. Mares does not. Btw ftr I think Arum is a scum bag but he holds the cards on this one. Oscar can promote the Rios/Mathysse fight.

Bob Arum is an extremely selfish and greedy old man.

Based on what? Neither fighter has yet to headline a big PPV. And TV ratings for Donaire don't back you up. His 2 HBO fights in 2011 were in the bottom 4 of least watched. And his fight this year agaist Jeffrey Mathebula is this years least watched.

Do your own homework as to why Donaire is a bigger sell then Mares.

I did. Ratings and live numbers don't lie. You need to do yours. Cuz Arum said so, isn't a good enough reason
