I know the fight some are focusing in on is WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Sergio Martinez. But if that fight is ever seriously negotiated, it will come down to these two factors: 1) just how punitive will Bob Arum and Chavez Jr. be in enforcing their negotiating leverage. Like it or not, they are the significantly bigger draw (at the gate and on television). 2) how compliant will Martinez and his promoter Lou DiBella be in understanding their value to that promotion.

Its all about risk versus reward at this level of professional boxing as it relates to consummating fights. And market value is defined by things such as gate receipts and Nielsen ratings, not stuff like mythical pound-for-pound ratings. Even being the linear middleweight champion of the world doesnt mean all that much. There are also the pressing questions: Is there enough money to satisfy both sides? Would Arum be willing to guarantee Martinezs side of the equation? My feeling is he wouldnt and that that would be left up to DiBella and Company

I think the best summation of the current situation came from this boxing industry insider (with a deep, extensive knowledge of this business and has been involved in some of the biggest promotions throughout the years- who also has no horse in this race):

I really dont get why some writers (and we both know who they are!) are drinking Lous Kool-Aid when it comes to Martinez. Hes a world champion, for heavens sake. His promoter is making him sound needy and pathetic.

And why would Arum sacrifice his young, handsome, charismatic superstar to someone who will be 38 years old before they could fight? It makes no sense. We need young, charismatic stars to attract a younger demographic to our sport.

And why would Arum care if he could do 300,000 buys on PPV with Martinez? Wasnt he doing nearly half that much business when Chavez was fighting stiffs on PPV? Do the math. When you have to pay the opponent nearly as much as the star, the star doesnt necessarily make more money! Arum can put Chavez in with just about anyone, pay the guy less than $250,000, and make more money on PPV than he would fighting Martinez in a much more dangerous and pointless fight.

This so called controversy simply defies all logic.

take this recent article that argues it makes more sense for chavez jr to fight scrubs then fight a pointless fight against sergio martinez

then look at his coverage of last nights fight

is referee Vic Drakulich going to ever warn Abril for this incessant clutching and do his job and follow the rulebook? #riosabril #boxing

This #riosabril fight would be a lot better if they had a referee who took some control of things and disallowed all this holding #boxing

116-112 Rios, 117-111 Abril and 115-113 Rios. Honestly, no problem with that decision. Boxers like that shouldn't be rewarded, IMO #boxing :-tired

We all speculated and it was confirmed by Ariza that Arum has his own writers to talk down on Floyd and big up Pacquiao. It's how the public believes silly crap like how Pacquiao is the best fighter ever and that type of trash :tired

Well I'm starting to think that he even has his own posters here on ESB :think
After seeing the actions from the past few weeks and really the past few years, it's been apparent to everybody including a good portion of Pac fans that Arum has prevented this fight. Despite that, there are still some posters who go and try to defend Arum and favour him over Ariza :yikes

I don't particularly like Ariza, but he's has Pacquiao's best interest at heart more than Arum does. In terms of having Pac's back it goes:
Buboy
Freddie
.
Ariza
.
.
.
.
.
.
Koncz
.
.
Arum

The main suspects I got are Paulfv and Sunn so far(click on their names for an example). Dodong is known to defend Arum in the past also.

what does "confirmed by Ariza" mean?

boxbox · Jun 12, 2012

Really? so who are you? Floyd's publicist? how much do you guys make with this anyways?

Thatman · Jun 13, 2012

U serious? You really mean to tell me this guy has his own writers to write what he wants?

If that's true then he is pathetic. I didn't know this.

Paulv must have been fired because he been gone for a while.

Lance uppercut to stupid to cash a cheque so he out of the equation.

Dodong is a top rank guinea pig along with fighting pride but they don't get paid for their efforts.
