    I doubt GBP let Bradley get away from them. They would basically have the majority of the players at 140 if they get Bradley.
    Ortiz, Khan, Maidana and Bradley could all make alot of good matchups. Not to mention Canelo might fight at 147 and those guys are bound to go up too. They have Alvarado guy at ww too.

    This type of crap is destroying boxing, but because an old white man said it and is doing it, it's fine.

    I love to see bradley vs pacquiao but I also want to see him fight khan and other guys.
    If he goes to toprank who will he fight inhouse beside pac? malignaggi at 147 or morales?

    Let me get this straight, Pac vs. Bradley is good with two promoters....bad if done only by TR?

    Obviously Arum WILL work with other promoters, as a few have shown. So this "Only in house" **** you ****s are crying about is just that....crying. Since none of you do it about GBP. Go change your tampon's ladies....

    Bradley is about to be a free agent, so Arum is dangling a big carrot in front of him. "Look what I could give you if I was so moved." He's smart for doing so and Bradley would be smart to consider.

    You'd be crazy to allow business overshadow the sport. Stop supporting something that is not conducive to providing YOU with the most bang for your buck. These businessmen are laughing all the way to the bank while you're left with watered down versions of a mega fight. We are still getting good fights, but things can be so much better if GBP and Top Rank would actually co-promote.

    Arum has kind of made that a necessity being he refuses to work with GBP/Oscar. Arum is letting his personal feuds get in the way of business. That is a fact. It's all personal with Arum. He's pissed about the money he lost when Oscar left him, and he's pissed about the money he lost when Mayweather left him.

    Both Oscar and Floyd left Arum and went on to some of their biggest paydays ever. Arum will never forgive them for that.

    GBP has tried to make fights with Arum, and it is always Arum who runs to the media, cries, and then goes and does his "In-House Bob" routine. The Mayweather/Pacquiao negotiations is a prime example of Arum using the media for manipulation, and his own personal vendetta to destroy a potential bout.

    This is pathetic man, even worse he is actually admitting that he dont want none of Floyd since he aint top rank anymore.

    This will wreck boxing and leave it in a more deprived state than it already is with no uniofications and top fighters not facing each other in a gbp top rank war.

    As long as the fights are good it doesnt really matter if its in-house or not. The whole of UFC is in-house, fans dont tend to mind. If PBF was top rank, pac-pbf would be in-house, should pac fight malignagi instead as that would be "out-house"?

    Arum has TRIED to work a fight w/ Pac and Mayweather. He has made fights w/ GBP since DLH left him. So how is it those reasons that he doesn't want GBP? :huh

    THere's more to it then him just "Not wanting to work with them".

    Very few fights. You are looking at a few examples and ignoring the big picture. Some big fights have fell through because of Arum's nonsense. And it IS nonsense.

    It seems the only people OK with this In-House nonsense are Pacquiao fans. Straight up. And nobody claims GBP doesn't do in-house match making either. However, with the way Bob Arum operates, I don't see them having much of an option.

    It's like the chicken and the egg argument. If Bob Arum refuses to risk his big name opponents against other opponents from a different promotional company, what exactly should they do? Continue to beg Bob Arum? Be real..... Bob Arum is protecting his fighters and getting as much money out of them as he can, period.

    I'll go on record and say most promoters are pieces of trash. Bob Arum just happens to be one of the worst, and the fact people take ANYTHING he says seriously is beyond me. The guy is a joke.

    Arum is just like any other promoter. He gets crap only because he speaks his mind.
