DiBella & Arum Fail To Make Deal For Martinez-Cotto... ... Maybe Martinez is ducking Cotto? Why wont he accept the deal if he isnt ducking him? ...basically what im getting at is... if Floyd gets accused of ducking Arum fighters then why cant Martinez? Maybe Bob Arum being a selfish, greedy ******* has something to do with it? :deal ...im gonna get battered with insults for this thread arent I?! :bart
You're super late and Martinez isn't ducking anyone neither is Cotto. Bob wants 100% of the promoting..thats the problem and Dibella isn't taking that ****.
Not surprised! What gives Arum the right to claim 100% of the promoting? I truly hate that man, he has no class and no respect!!
The same power that gives Martinez/Dibella to ask for $$. When you have the power, which unfortunately Arum has, he can say and do what he wants. Arum is just another promoter in a line of corrupt boxing promoters. The boxing business model is broken as **** and it will continue to be until boxing is left dry and dead. It wil be dead in America first. Then Europe. Don't hate the player (Arum) hate the game (boxing business).
You guys should read the articles first. It wasn't Arum that really killed the deal. It was Cotto. Cotto's team (not including Arum, he just presented what Martinez wanted) said that Martinez should only get a guaranteed sum, and that they would not accept any percentage deal in this fight. Dibella's team wouldn't accept that financial condition.
Mob Arum wanted a buyout so he would get ALL promotional, gate and PPV income with paying Martinez a fix prize (2.5M is very low considering the fight would generate between 15 to 20M easy, and Maravilla's stock is very high now.) Sergio should never agree to a shitty deal again, ever. The World MW Champion had to take the short money, the catch-weight, Williams' judges and ref and the challenger's corner plus all the disrespect during the promotion or PDub would've never signed. When the KO occured, Martinez was behind on 2 cards despite clearly winning the opening round. Never ever agree to such deal Maravilla! You should get what you're entitled to and **** all the greedy bitches who think otherwise.
Cotto is not ducking Martinez, Martinez is not ducking Cotto. Arum is ducking having to split the profits with DiBella, so keeps the fighters withing Top Rank, end of story.
