    I called it yesterday

    Arum does what others do, but he has the balls to say it.

    Its really a dickmove, everything has to be inhouse, if Bradley signs with toprank we can say goodbye to khan vs bradley in the summer.

    You did and I give you props for that. Arum is such a snake that you just have to laugh when he speaks. He was that snake in the Garden running that game on Eve.

    Nothing wrong with that really, boxing is a business and Arum is a businessman. If Bradley signs with Top Rank, that means that all profits goes to him, second, should Bradley beat Pac, Pac would effectively be passing the torch to another Top Rank fighter.

    Arum has a stable of fighters that he works for. Right now, everyone wants to fight Pac. Arum giving the Pac fight to someone who is not part of his stable is effectively not working for the people he is supposed to be working for.

    That's the way he sees it at least. Yes, it's about money, but it's also about sending the message "if you sign with Top Rank, we treat you right"

    Ye boxing is a business now but keeping it all in house will turn the fans against him in the long run an it's wrong

    Well not all the time.

    Mayorga got the fight, and he's with Don King

    Mosley fought both Cotto and Margarito when he was with Golden Boy.

    But let's just say Arum prefers to promote fights for his fighters rather than other people's fighters

    The true boxing fans don't matter. I think he even said he doesn't give a **** what we want. He cares about the casual fans and thats it.

    You would think at this point in his life he would be chasing legacy by making awesome fights instead of making quick money.

    I don't see the problem here at all. Who loses?

    Arum makes more money
    Pacquiao makes more money
    Bradley makes more money
    Boxing fans get a good fight


    Seems like people just want to ***** about something. You all are like women.

    His financial legacy is all that matters to him.
