    Arum doesn't give a **** about money any more, he cares more about not letting other people "win". He doesn't let anything happen unless he's guaranteed to "win". If he'll lose 8 dollars but someone else will lose 20 he's happy because he won.

    By Luis Sandoval

    Two weeks ago I spoke to Bob Arum regarding a possible Abner Mares vs. Nonito Donaire showdown that would require both Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank to have to work together to make the fight happen. Arum revealed he had no interest in doing any regular co-promotion with Golden Boy and would instead be willing to offer them a sum of money for the services of Mares.

    A couple days later, Rick Reeno spoke to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer who heard Arum’s comments. Schaefer extended a proposal to Top Rank where they would step aside and let Top Rank handle the promotion for Mares-Donaire only if Top Rank would be willing to step aside and let Golden Boy promote a Lucas Matthysse-Brandon Rios fight.

    *********** spoke with Bob Arum and relayed Schaefer’s proposal which Arum shot down and appeared not to be willing to even entertain the thought.

    “It's not major league baseball. We don't trade fighters! You trade baseball players, you don't trade fighters. This guy knows nothing about the sport of boxing” Arum would tell ***********.

    As I tried to ask a follow up question, Vice President of Boxing Operations for Top Rank Carl Moretti intervened and asked that I stop asking Golden Boy related questions.

    From the looks of it, there has been absolutely no progress in Golden Boy and Top Rank finding a middle ground to be able to work together again.

    :lol: You are something else...This is the same old son of a ***** that was caught bribing officials and somehow we're suppose to applaud this old hag?? Now he's blocking a good bout and this is what you have to say???

    If that makes me a hater so be it...I'm not in the minority when I say Arum needs to get the hell out of boxing.

    Arum wants to save Rios for Pac, he knows Matthysse will end his hype once and for all

    First, the votes here on ESB mean nothing. Get over yourself. So while Oscar is out snorting coke and being a transvestite Bob is turning down his GREAT offers? Yeah, that means it is on Arum. At least in your world I guess.

    Just cuz I'm not taking Oscar's tranny dick up my axe like you? OK. Make sense to the truly stupid I guess. You ***gots aren't even in this argument until you can produce figures and you can't do that.

    Didn't you read the article dumbass? This cannot be defendable! A trade Mares for Rios and Arum says they are not baseball players?!?! Yet he wants GBP to step aside so he can PROMOTE Mares/Donaire? :rofl
