Pacman, Cotto and Pavlik should sue Bob Arum

1. he's also Margo's promoter I believe. it was the best fight available for both fighters. why blame Arum for Cotto losing?

2. Pacman's camp wants the fight. His trainer (who has also trained Oscar) feels he can win the fight. Why blame Arum for making a fight his fighter wants?

3. Mora was too expensive (due to having to pay Forrest to step aside), Winky is almost as bad of a fight as Hopkins stylistically and probably was more expenisve/less marketable. Sturm lives in a cave and Abraham has a mandatory. Would you rather have Pavlik beat up another bum like Lockett? It was the best fight available and gives Pavlik a chance to show something/learn something.

 

u know for a promoter he is really being a *****. He needs to give his fighters some respect man. I dont care how good id pac its stupid to put him in with a guy 20pounds heavier.

 

So you advocate protecting them instead of getting them the best fights/money available? You'd make one hell of a promoter for the sport.

 

Yeah, who the **** does he think he is, making difficult fights for his fighters!!!!!

He should just feed them some chickens to beat on, then they wont ****ing lose!!!

And people wonder what is wrong with boxing:verysad

 

There are 17 different weight classes (way too many) now and Pavlik is a natural LHW. Arum had one hell of a time even getting this fight. Seems like the only man that TRULY wants to fight him at the moment is AA and he has his mandatory to get out of the way first.

 

I'm Ok with Cotto and Palik's fights... But pac vs oscar is just wrong! i blame this more on oscar than bob.

 

1. Margarito and Williams were the two best fights out there for Cotto. Don't we want the best fighting the best? Plus margo is one of Arum's fighter's aswell so Bob wins either way. The fight was good for boxing and good business sense for Arum.

2. This is risky but Manny does enter the ring at about 145 and if the fight can be made at 147 then this will have a major effect on DLH already poor stanima so i think this will make the fight more competitive.

3. Pavlik may be moving up in weight but from what i have seen most people are favouring Kelly. Infact some people think it's suicide for old Hopkins to step into the ring with a young, unrelentless power puncher.

 

Sue Arum for what charges? After that, what? Who will promote your fights? Go to another promoter who runs the risk of getting sued? That's stupid, bro. I think you're not serious about this. Why bite the hand that feeds you?

 

Pavlik's walk around weight makes him a natural LHW. Paul Williams got the money he asked for and punked out. Winky wanted more than Pavlik. I don't think Mora or Green are ready for Pavlik and HBO will only pay for certain fights. They don't want another 'Lockett'.

 

It is all about the money

 

No but oscar is baiting $$$, hard for pac to resist...

 

Fought twice above 160? Try 12 times with five of those fights being at or above the SMW limit. And by the way, all the fights at or above 168 ended in quick knock outs. But I guess you're right; just who the hell does Arum think he is putting Ring Magazines #7 p4p fighter in with their #4 p4p fighter?
