What I would do if I was Arum.....

1) Create a fake set of investors. Get a few random foreign guys to play the roles.
2) Put on the fight myself, but not tell the fighters.
3) Refuse to work with any other promotions company as they'd easily find proof of what I'm doing.
4) Make ******ed demands that suit my agenda, then insist that my hands are tied and it's the investors who want it that way.
5) Give the fighters a big chunk of cash upfront, say it's the only way the investors will do it, then retain all the royalties and back-end revenue this fight will undoubtedly generate for years to come.

I really don't understand why Arum hasn't thought of this?!?!? I guess all the years of conducting himself with honesty and integrity must be hard to shake off.

LOL !

This does explain the need for "private investors." One of the key elements of business negotiations is to never send the head man. Always send someone who supposedly has to answer to someone else, (even if that "someone else" is imaginary) and thus can't make any immediate decisions.
