"The Yankees want to make a deal, we know we can make a deal, they're just working through a problem at Yankee Stadium," Arum said. "But you wouldn't believe it if I told you." http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory?id=9853816
It's a pretty good scam actually. Take what amounts only to an A-side, one act boxing event, and massively increase buzz and box office by wrapping cheap cubic zirconia in a Tiffany's box aka Dallas Stadium/Yankees Stadium. Ect. Arum would hold Pacquiao/Clottey in a Barnum & Bailey's tent if he thought it would get him a few extra pennies.
This is extremely smart. And he will get a strong gate in this one. He might do 30k with this fight up in the Bronx.
second time i've said this today about Bob Arum and about two different topics, you gotta give it up to the man
Arum is taking boxing to the old or the next level, I like that. There are people who cant afford paying ppv and at thge yankee stadium, tickets on top may be $25. he keeps having his fighters fight each other, thats good just like don king, the only problem is that he has to sign new fighters.
