Was Arum cashing out on Pac when he threw him to the De La Hoya fight?

That is what everyone thought including *******s and *****s (even before they had this rivalry). Now everything is downplayed because Pac pulled off the upset.

 

I think Arum is a smart enough dude and well enough in the know to be pretty certain Oscar was shot.

 

This. It's not like DLH was coming off some spectacular win. He looked **** against forbes.

 

i love how bob is perceived along with other promoters of throwing fighters in to a pool of sharks when they are done with them.....

 

Since EVERYONE STILL picked DLH to win, is Bob smarter then them? :think

 

Arum thought ODLH was shot when just about everyone else thought he was going to destroy Pac?

Right.....

 

Almost no one cared that DLH was past his prime. They all put so much emphasis on the size difference. One left hook would've finished Pac.

 

According to Arum (whatever his word is worth), he was hesitant to make the fight due to the size difference and Oscar insisted.

 

Manny over weight drained DLH was not an upset though. People picked DLH purely because he was a big name fighter, but he was done just like how Hatton was done when Manny fought him.

 

I think that Bob was chasing the money. Listen, Pac has losses on his record. If he lost to Oscar then so what? Oscar was meant to win. The Goldenboy was the holy grail as far as money was concerned.
That being said, i think he may have thought he'dget a result with bringing Oscar down in weight and his inactivity. I remember being disgusted by the match at the time. Didn't think Pac stood a chance.

 

And Arums crystal ball showed him this right?

 

Revisionist history at it's finest.:roll:

 

I'm talking about before the weigh-ins. Hatton was not done before the Manny fight. Quit being a dumbass and stop downplaying Pac's accomplishments like you predicted them.

 

not to mention that Roach had an inside track on DLH's state as a fighter
