Will Bob Arum fold?

He had his run. I hope if something big goes down that we get some govt intervention. Golden Boy and Haymon are no better than Bob. It won't stop unless someone intervenes. These promoters have a huge conflict of interest. Their pocketbooks rely on their guy winning, and they also get to choose who he fights. Makes no sense.

 

What are the ppv predictions and gate earnings?

 

Only death will make him yield ..Did Suliman yield ?

These guys will stay as long as they can draw a breathe ..

 

honestly thought Pac/TB 2 would do solid PPV numbers

 

700 000 is solid. So is 600 000. But then you have the two fighters who were given 26 mil combined and upside from the PPV. I don´t think that TR will walk away with too much money.

 

Arum has been rich for years, just can't seem to get enough money, hell, he can't take it with him....................

Arum should go ahead and give boxing fans some really good fights so he can be remembered as a promoter who finally decided to give the boxers and fans what they deserve...........

 

I don't know. GB fighters seem a bit more at peace. For everything that Oscar is, I do know one thing. He has a genuine love for the fight game. You could see it in his eyes when he talks about boxing. He's been there. I never really see him trying to cash out on boxers, or rip them off. I mean even Santa Cruz made almost a mil on the Canelo undercard. That doesn't happen for everyone. Oscar is a student/lover of the game first, then a business man. Arum has never laced em up, and all he cares about is that check. He sees these dudes as cows. Literally. You want them to do slave work for as little as possible. I still want someone to explain to me, how the hell when Pac was pulling 1 Mil + buys regularly, he was only walking away with 17 Mil Purses, 20 mil purses. That's ridiculous. Pac-Hatton did 850k buys, and Pac only got a 12 million dollar purse. **** like that doesn't happen unless someone is being played a fool. People are starting to smarten up. (Mikey) And to be honest, the sport would be better as a whole if more people started to coming to Golden Boy. Because once again. Oscar is a lover of the game first. Which separates him from the Don Kings and Bob Arum's of the world. He's been on both sides.

PLUS and what I think is the most important thing. Golden Boy does an 80-20 split with PPV for their fighters. (80 for the fighter) Arum at times doesn't even give his fighters a portion of the PPV, which is why Floyd is saying now that Arum still owes him cash

Gate was 8 mil from what I've heard. And in my opinion the PPV will do around 650k. Which isn't terrible, but when you're paying 2 guys a combined purse of 26 million it can become problematic for someone like Arum who's essentially looking to cash out too .

 

I never thought I'd say this. But Farmboxer, I agree.

 

Never. Too much ego.

But honestly if it wasn`t for the cold war, i think competition is a good thing for fighters and the fans.

 

This cretin arum, refused to make oscar- floyd right,by saying 20 million was not there!! Remember that?

 

ER right? Me too....

 

Wow.. All this time I thought you were a robot.. This is the first time I ever EVER seen a thought out post by you.. Good post bro.. I also agree 100%...

 

Fold?

He's filthy rich, he'd wipe his arse with Manny before having him fight Mayweather under another promotional banner.
