    :patsch...He may have done that but what has he done lately??? He may have put together some good cards in the past but what happened as of lately?? Nobody wants to see him put together Top Rank fighters only...Hell, if JMM would have never signed with TR we probably would have never gotten the JMM\PAC III
    Until you start forking over what I pay for my fights then I have every right to be critical of the POS Arum. If that makes me hypocrit then so be it...My points still remains. I can name several fights that Arum has sabatoged.

    It's the mother****ing truth. Mosley was the only worthless fight he's taken in his past nine since the Barrera rematch.

    This fight would have been a damn good scrap but people tend to forget how he just constanly pushed the fight off until JML was defeated in which the fight has lost its luster and appeal!:-(

    If he hasn't done jack **** lately, name a few promoters who have put together better fights with better fighters this year than Arum. Let's see how balanced your hate is towards all promoters.

    that one was touch and go. yes margo did not deserve a shot, had not re-established himself, but we knew he was tough and wouldn't quit and weighing-in six lbs more (how often does that happen below HW?), Pac did have something to overcome in that fight.

    Should be classed the same as Mayweather's fight with Judah. Zab didn't deserve it, but was "the man" a fight before he lost to Baldo, same as Margo was before he lost to Mosley, and Floyd fought him anyway as it was an interesting fight still. He had to overcome Judah's speed which troubled him early, and it turned out to be a good victory, even if it was simarly a blowout on the scorecards as Pac-Margarito.

    :patsch It doesnt matter what other have done...We're talking about Arum.

    Get it through your head most fans hate when a promoter tries to play the paying fans for fools in which Arum has been doing as of lately! He's never looking out of for his fighters...Always lying to the media, and doesnt give two shits about anyboyd but himself...If thats your type of guy then I dont know what to tell you.

    Not my type of guy. I'm just saying what makes Arum different from any successful boxing promoter past, present, or future? Nothing. They are all lying scumbags. You are hating on what is normal in boxing. At least name one successful boxing promoter who can put together big fights with big names who acts like a role model. You can't. Because they don't exist. What you guys are asking of Arum then just goes beyond what is expected for boxing. Promoters will always look out for their own. They will always lie to make a buck. They will always hold grudges against rival promoters and sometimes they will mend their partnerships. Basically, you are expecting Arum to be something that doesn't exist, a successful boxing promoter with good moral values.

    At least when we argue about criminal boxers, there are good moraled boxers to measure their standards against. No such thing in the boxing promotions business.
