What exactly has Bob Arum done to get so much hate?

Wasn't Hearns-Leonard put off for years as both were coming up undefeated to build the hype for it? And Leonard almost blew it by losing to Duran. The Lopez-Gamboa thing is not new, however it was a massive stuff up.

I hate him for the way he handled Margarito-Williams potential second fight.

I hate him for the way he hid Cotto from Paul back in 2007, after he beat Margarito and wanted a piece of Miguel.

I hate him for the way he handled Williams-Pavlik potential fight.

 

F*ck Williams. He sucks..:thumbsup

Arum sounded very surprised by the news of Mayweather's continuance. Says now Manny "likely" to go in June. Didnt sound interested in Floyd.

 

Do you hate WIlliams for saying NO to James Kirkland before he went to jail? Back when Paul was crying for a fight, saying NO ONE would fight him? :huh

I was paying attention then. First of all, Cotto was not required to face Williams. Williams was NOT his mando, and he wass till a guy very few knew. WIlliams was simply not in the mix because he brought nothing, and Arum STILL made big fights for Cotto. It's not like Cotto HAD to fight Williams, said no, and fought some scrub.

And don't forget, Williams kept the WBO belt that held back Margarito as well. HATE on Williams for doing that to himself.

You should hate on Haymon for the Pav - Willaims fight not gettng made. He ****ed **** up with Arum. OR you should THANK them, since Pav woulda ****ed P Dub up anyway. (kidding on that, kinda)

You're basically blaming Arum for those just as the Floyd fans blame Arum for everything as well because of who your fave is NBA.

 

He used the lame excuse of the cut Pacquiao suffered against Marquez, saying he might not be ready for May. (I've never heard of a cut taking more than six months to heal.) However, earlier this week, when Arum thought Mayweather would be on ice behind bars, he said there was a good possibility Pacquiao would fight in May.

Moments after Mayweather was granted the continuance, Arum changed his tune.

"We're fighting in June, one of the four guys," Arum told me over the phone.

Come again? You won't even talk about it with Pacquiao, I asked very politely.

"My mission is to go over to the Philippines and talk about these four guys," Arum said. "If Manny feels he wants to go in May, he will tell me. I want to make sure Manny's cuts are healed. We won't fall under this kind of pressure. June is much more likely for Manny's fight, not May."

So May was a real possibility yesterday, but now there's no way?

"What if they fought and Manny started bleeding on the first punch?" a clearly flustered Arum said. "I don't know if Manny is available to fight in May. I have no idea. I haven't talked to him; I haven't seen him. Seems to me, June is more likely based on what his plastic surgeon said."

Arum threw out another "reason" (or excuse, as far as I'm concerned) not to try to make Pacquiao-Mayweather for May 5.

"I don't even know if Mayweather will be licensed [by the Nevada State Athletic Commission] before he serves his time," Arum said.

 

Heres exactly why.




Here's Arum before Mayweather got sentenced and picked May 5th.

"Pac's cuts wont be ready by May"


Here's Arum after Mayweather was sentenced and wouldn't be able to do a May fight.

"Pac's next fight will be in May"


Here's Arum after Mayweather gets sentenced post-poned.

"Pac's definitely going to fight in June, his cuts wont be ready by May. We are not pursuing Mayweather"

 

TS IS NOT JUST TALKIN FLOYD N PAC MAN-

U gotta get off your **** lance-u spendin too much time up in this mutha fuka talkin Floyd n Pac-

This **** got 0 to do with that-

ARUM IS HATED CUZ HE DOESN'T MAKE BIG FIGHTS AND HE ONLY IS INTERESTED FOR HIMSELF-

I DON'T BLAME HIM FOR WANTING TO MAKE MORE MONEY-JUST SUX FOR US AS THE FANS, CUZ HE KEEPS HIS OWN PERSONAL INTERESTES (AND RIGHTFULLY SO AS HE IS HIS OWN MAN) BEFORE THE PUBLICS W/OUT ANY REAL "REASONING" BEHIND IT...:hat

 

Fails to make the best possible fights far too often; also puts together underwhelming undercards far too often.

 

Bump!

I wonder do some still feel the same!

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl Look at this stan! I wonder do you feel the same about your so loved Bob Arum?

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:roflatsch

Dumbdong strikes again!
