Why Bob Arum IS WAY *CRAPPIER* Than Every Promoter That Ever Lived!!!!!

[SlimTrae]

There are two differing reports on how many buys this ESPN+ exclusive card did. Yahoo’s Kevin Iole tweeted that the estimated buyrate was 190,000, but RingTV’s Joseph Santoliquito says it’s even lower than that at 135,000, while BoxingScene’s Keith Idec also said it didn’t reach the break-even point of 150,000.


Most if not all falls on the promoter. Didn't see too much promo at all. Just an occasional billboard. Money-May does talk shows, radio, hell not stating Bud needed to contact Vince McMahon WWWE- rather when was the last time Arum sold a major PPV?

Pacman is sellable on his own.


Spence-Porter does 350k
Crawford-Porter does 190k

Not sure how that happened. Other than Spence does quite a few rounds from social platforms, hangs around rappers.
Arum should be ashamed to lump all the blame on a kick ass fighter.

The video spans a few topics & not just Mayweather wanting Crawford.

Side note- saw Ellerbe talking trash about Hearn- this video puts it in perspective for me. Didnt know Haney's low crowd attendance may have been due to a concert same night- comedian Martin Lawrence raising the question; why schedule a fight the same night as a cultural comedic icon? Unless Hearn doesnt know or care for the fanbase possibly attending.


Back on subject- Floyd has a chance to prove Bud can sale. My question is - will he continue to do like he does with Tank? 1/2 way through promoting, turns the convo toward himself?

Can Floyd nab Bud? Should he & if so, would it benefit him and the fans?

My take is- stay a free agent. Dont let himself get caught up with a promoter that has other promoters saying -naw thats ok.
