    We got two very good cards back to back all thanks to public enemy #1 Bob Arum. He gets way too much hate, give the old man his props people.Top Rank cards usually contain more firepower and toe to toe fighting.

    The great Bob Arum is even telling HBO to **** off and is making an effort to bring boxing back to national television. This is something that De La Hoya said was his first priority, yet he is nothing more than HBO's *****.

    God forbid if the fight were actually on CBS............. millions of people might have seen it.

    Arum can go jump off the empire state building dressed in a chicken suit for all I care.

    DeMarco fight was boring. However, Rios fight was really good one.

    I want Arum to get Void into a right with Pac, also Berto!

    I give credit when credit is do. Not a big fan of GBP but they did good with Marquez and khan. Arum right now is doing one hell of a job to showcase his fighters. They looked like they where going under a couple of years ago but coming on strong on 2011. Soto, donaire, rios, juanma are getting notice

    Most of the hate this guy gets is unwarranted. Ok critics can cry about his inhouse fights with Pac, but he didn't instigate the feud with GBP. Look at all the great fights he's put together in the past decade. He's definately done more good for boxing than bad. I know why Mayweather and DLH fans don't like him, but you can't deny they had better resumes when they were with him. He's never been afraid to put his young fighters into tough fights. That's how you build true stars, not by beating up on the Matthew Hatton's of the world.

    Paging that poster that calls Bob Arum Bobby and Manny Pacquiao Emmanuel. They're so tight, they're on first name basis.
