    why because bob arum told you that?

    Yet neither Martinez nor Berto was ever seriously considered. Arum says it's no reflection on either fighter's abilities but about the cost it would take to get them in the ring. He concedes that Martinez could do solid pay-per-view numbers against Cotto but insists Martinez's asking price was "way too high." Ditto for Berto, whom Arum says wanted $1.85 million of the $3 million HBO offered for the fight.

    ^^ Big lol at Berto asking for more than 50% of the $3M purse against Cotto. He should be thankful to get 30% and a chance to prove himself yet he out-prices himself lol

    They are co-managers, though Ellerbe is more of a cheerleader type.

    One of many sources
    " Arum was dealing directly with Ross Greenburg, president of HBO Sports. Greenburg, in turn, dealt directly with Al Haymon, Mayweather Jr's co-manager."

    Though ESPN call them both "advisors"

    But hey, feel free to talk crap, it's no wonder folk don't take you seriously.

    Dude is a ****ing dick and trying to mock you man, he didn't give a **** who your source was. It's pathetic that dude would go through the hassle of posting a question just to try and be a dick.

    On another note, I have no reason to question your sources or you ability to get info etc. I would say that if you are going to be a professional, be a professional, professionals don't make those kind of mistakes as far as grammer and whatever. Again, far be it from me to tell you your business, but I think if you took some classes and cleaned your stuff up, you might be able to make a run at this stuff.
