Bob Arum: "We've (Top Rank) been banned by SHOWTIME", "Sampson & DiBella banned too"

from the boxing press @ Fortune Gym:


At the Fortune Gym (in Hollywood), during a media workout session for the Donaire vs Mathebula fight (for this Sat. in Carson's Home Depot Center) promoter Bob Arum was asked by a reporter about a possible match-up between Top Rank's Nonito Donaire vs. GBP's Abner Mares.

Arum said: "Yeah, the fight can be made", "But it's gotta be on

by [Stephen] Espinoza. So, I'm certainly not looking to make him a big fight."

Espinoza, who took over for Ken Hershman (who left

"We've been banned," Arum reiterated.
"Sampson Lewkowicz been banned;
" [Lou] Dibella been banned because Espinoza, I mean....he's doing things that no television executive in the 47 years I've been in boxing would even contemplate doing-including Ross Greenburg, who would never thought to do anything like this."

("like this" ???,,,,what does Arumn mean?:huh)

Arum: "Banning suppliers because they're doing a marquee fight like Chavez Jr. vs. Martinez on another network (HBO),"

AZTLAN,

How does creating this troll thread avenge SOTO's brutal KO loss?

:huh

Soto's post-boxing career...

 

Soto had almost 70 pro fights in a 14 year career, against a young lion that only has about 30 pro fights in a 8 year career.

There's no shame in Soto losing, cause he lost to a young puncher that cheated with pulling Soto's head down, punching Soto after the bell rang, and hitting Soto on back of the head.

besides, Mexico has over 15 world champions right now, which is more than any other country, and almost twice more than the US.:rofl

 

Soto is also a politician, a city councilman in his hometown.

While Floyd sits in jail, with litte money (cause DelaHoya is the one that keeps more than 90% of what Floyd makes).

 

Its good entertainment.
