I hate you. I'll be f'n damned if I ever buy another top Stank PPV. HOWEVER, I did like the venue and I did like David Diaz vs Humberto Soto. The other fights...absolute trash including the main event.
Bob Arum has humiliated the sport of boxing. And himself. Jerry Jones must be thrilled with the show they put on tonight. atsch That's what he gets for jumping in bed with a money hoarding jackass. Too bad Bob soo desperately needed to keep things in-house, Clottey's share, and universal control. This might have been something that helped the great game, and not something that shamed and embarrassed it.
Agree completely. I mean, it's great and all that boxing drew 50,000 fans and no doubt over 500,000 ppv buys, but the sport had a chance to shine tonight and it didn't. And there is only one person to blame, Bob Arum.
Jerry Jones jumped out out of his Lazy boy just once in the 11th round. He definitely made money off this fight but he's got to be dissapointed with Clottey and Arum just a bit. I've turned into a huge fan of Humberto Soto. If there's one fight Arum needs to keep in house, it would be Soto vs Pacman. and Soto only came in at 142-144. Soto vs Valero vs Pac would be dynamite.
On a related note, have you ever heard 50,000 fans be completely quiet for 4 straight hours. OMG, they must have been bored out of their mind.
No. He doesn't. He wanted to do business with Jerry Jones, and he found a way to make that happen. We'll see how Jerry feels about doing business with Bob Arum, in the future. If he has any sense at all, he won't.
I'll be honest, this thing will not and should not outsell Mosley-Mayweather. I knew Arum was a piece of sh*t but the undercards really f'n sucked sans Soto-Diaz. I really didn't care about the undercards to begin with but that's just not right to put Castillo and Duddy out there.
No question. Jerry Jones wouldn't have gotten involved if that wasn't guaranteed up front. At Jerry's level, making a few million dollars on one event is no kind of investment. It's a bad joke.
we had a full filipino house watching the fight. Pretty pissed off that Clottey was a human punching bag. At least Clottey can brag that he walked away clean from a Pac fight. He's set. Set with our money that we paid. I'd like a refund if possible.
Tell me none of you actually expected this fight to be competitive did you? Been saying it since day 1: We are going to watch Pacquiao tee off on a heavy bag for 12 rounds. :deal
