    Arum really needs to stop this in house ****. Its really damaging boxing. Im not saying everything is Arums fault, but in his mind he wants nothing to do with fights outside Top Rank.

    Fair play to Oscar. This argument has got embarrassing at times. Hopefully Bob finds it in himself to accept this and start making the fights people want to see.

    Hell why not throw in Clottey-Margarito II, then we can do a Clottey-Cotto Rematch, after that a Pac-Clottey Rematch, then we can do Cotto-Pac II, then Margarito-Chavez jr., then lets do Clottey-Chavez Jr.

    after all that we can make Lopez go up a few weight classes and fight Pac at a catchweight.

    still plying the JMM v. Pac fight probably.

    They lost money in their last card big time. JMM was paid 1.4 million, Katsidis 500,000, Berto 900,000 plus several other fighters where the live gate was 4920 and PPV probably just reaching 100,000.

    Hey, how about we watch Diaz vs. Katsidis one more time or how about a rubbe rmatch between Diaz and Marquez. eh eh? Then maybe we can get another rubber match between Rocky Juarez and Chris John, how about it!? Don't be stupid man, both parties are to blame.

    Arum should apologize now.... to us. But like he said, he doesn't give a **** about the fans. We're all fed up with in-house fights exclusively.

    “I don't have blue eyes and I am not white, but a Mexican arriving on the cusp of fame, and that is what they do not support,” De La Hoya told La Opinion in 2001.

    “Bob Arum's people hope I lose because they can't see a Mexican above them, and also that he defeated one of the biggest Jews to come out of Harvard.” - ODLH

    nah, GBP got it made....they have the HBO money backing them up. HBO fees alone paid for their fighters purse and promotional fees.

    Top Rank's show last week (not bought by HBO or Showtime) may have lost them money. It seems like there was not much people in attendance. I don't know how they did on their PPV especially since JCC Jr. backed out.

    Hoya read it all wrong. How can you explain Arum making a Filipino very famous above all the Americans or Jews he promoted?

    Looks to me this is a sign of defeat. At this point, if Arum will say kneel down before me, Hoya will probably do it. Hoya stood his ground and now realized he made a very big mistake.

    He might have greater fame than Oscar, but Money talks. Oscar is the true PPV King.
