I got to give it to Bob the asshole for this one.
He blasts the MGM for giving Corona (FLoyd) promo visablity via Top Ranks weekend that should be Tecate. Now it seems like a small thing. But is it? He does this LIVE in from of an audience.
Then he proceeded to tell some truth about the corporations and the men hiding in them..

Bob is right. What is so interesting Bob knows the playbook and Im sure he has done the same shit. He knows how it works because he got backdoored the same way (maybe in different circumstances) he has done other people.

Bob without any proof is making a speculation, not out of thin air, but because he knows this is how shit goes down and I guarantee damn T ya it would do it to someone else.

What is think is so cool his that he 1uped these fuckers and blasted them live.

indirect promotion for the Floyd fight, on the week of the Manny fight.

And he in turn gives FLoyd fight more publicity via the MGM but doing a live blast.

What he is saying is correct, but its just common doing business bullshit.

Bob's Tecate boys are pissed because they paid Bob but Corona shit is everywhere and its not supposed to be..Conora is riding their dime and I think its funny how all these honchos get pissy like girls.

MGM belongs to Floyd, Its his home. Why would anyone be surprised by this? I get the whole "Tecate paid for advertisement" so their label should be every where. But MGM is very loyal to Floyd and GBP and back hand deals would go down in their favor. Tecate and Arum have every right to be angry. I wonder if any lawsuits will come of this.

Bob basically called for firing of the corporate guy and then he might do business with them again in the future...not so much until this corporate guy is gone. Bob is a handshake guy. Nothing admirable mind you, but he likes the facetime to ride on the good nature and graces of people while lacking any at all.

fuck bob

Bob Arum is a fuckin gangsta and deserves to be respected for how long he has been in the game and the stars he built.

The way he just went in on the MGM and Golden Boy was sick. At the same time his ass should know by now that the MGM stands for Mayweather. Gets. Money. He should have had it somewhere else.

Gotta respect how he keeps shit real and says whatever the fuck he wants. And basically tells people to fuck off. Gangsta.

Bob is going to far now calling on this dumb boycott.
Schaefer is right.
Bob is just making the fight more difficult to make running his mouth like this.
Bob wants the fight to happen only if he is involved in it...bottom line.
If he was a fight fan and should realise he is the obstacle...nothing else.
And step aside to give the fans and sport the best fight that can be made.
Bob is brilliant because look at where he is...but he fucked this one up.
FLoyd and his people aren't going to concede to this this man...never
Bob sees himself as too important not to be involved.
Simply ego....And if this fight happens to will have to be without Bob.
I think that is clear.

This motherfucker spent more time ripping Floyd than he did lauding his own event and the fighters he promotes. And people still think he has nothing to do with Floyd-Manny not happening.

This is just another example of why there needs to be a hostile take over of top rank. #2 over there needs to get bob into retirement ASAP, as his list of monumental fuck ups is growing. He's lost it. Time to put him out to pasture.

You can't expect Bob to sit out when the biggest fight in boxing history goes down. He is bringing the other half of that equation. This fight can generate 100 mil or more. No way Bob will be on the outside looking in. And no one should expect him to either.

You are right. But it's kind of like watching a man insist on fucking his ex wife when she is remarried. Well...kind of...I know what I mean. Maybe someone else does to.

Floyd isn't going to play. When has GB and TOp Rank worked together? Then you got the Sho/HBO thing. They aren't all going to form an alliance of the sudden or SHARE...even if they should because their is enough to go around. Nobody wants to play with Bob and Bob really doesn't want to play with anyone else really hence are these in house fights.

Here it is...Floyd in control...period. But Floyd is not exactly as innocent here either. Dude was unreasonable during negotiation and everyone postured. But that a matter of opinion too. NOw, not then, Floyd says leave Top Rank and we can fight he fucking well mean it and its not goiing ot happen otherwise. Floyd has been straight as can be expressing Arum isn't going to make a dime off him....Floyd don't mind people making money but Arum...nope. THere is a deep rifted there that I can imagine is something not even worth exploding into the media atmosphere like something Arum once whispered to Floyd or said to Floyd while under the TR banner.

This fight not happening hurts Floyd more than it does Arum. People already talk about it being a duck or hurting his legacy cause of his refusal to fight the next best fighter in his own generation. Arum will still make millions on numerous other fights. So I don't see where this hurts Arum. It's well documented that Manny is willing to do all of Floyd's demands. So the ball is in Floyd's corner like it's always been.

This business will not be done with Arum.
Just never.
If you want to say that is in Floyd's court I suppose then it could be said to be true.
I think it silly seeing how Arum is the company and its essentially telling him to step away.
But it was what it is...I don't think Manny is leaving....I don't know why.
I suppose it would be equally as stupid as Pac telling Floyd to leave Ellerbe.

Too many damn outs for everyone here. My honest opinion is that Manny has less to lose than Floyd and would be more willing to do the fight. Floyd? Well, he could take it or leave it and has said so. This being said I mean that Floyd has more to lose by taking the fight. It can't be about money anymore. For fuck sake...how much does a person need? Its about the 0. Pride. Ego. All that shit Floyd has an abudance of....

The 1st negotiations fell through because manny wouldnt agree to testing. The 2nd time, he agreed to it. Both parties at fault here.

So if the fight fell thru the first time cause of testing, and now he agreed to all for the second than whats the hold up? Clearly not Manny. If Floyd says fuck it lets fights the fight gets made easily. Everyone putting blame on Arum is just being as hard nosed as Floyd is. Like I said, Arum will still make millions even if Floyd doesn't want him to make a penny from a Floyd-Manny fight. This does not hurt Arum. Floyd's rep still takes a hit after its all said and done.

Floyd's rep is what it is already . He's not hurting, he is the highest paid athlete in all of sports. Even if he did fight him they would say he waited too long blah blah blah.

Smart people know Manny gets that ass whipped anyway.

With Floyd's "0" comes talk of him refusing to fight certain fighters or fights at a certain time. That will follow him to the grave. He will forever be questioned on it.

Yes it does. I think he should just smile when tell people they are entitled to feel the way they want because that is what it boils down to. Instead, he just stutters and repeats other shit he hears like "you don't know shit about boxing." Lately, he is saying foolish cliche bullshit that is ironclad. FLoyd has is good moments, but they fade the moment someone tries to question his career. He wants "yes" men around him and he gots it.

A lot of you are going to need a new scapegoat when Bob finally croaks and boxing is still fucked up. He's no worse than Shaeffer. And certainly not worse than Dibella or Shaw.

O...they are all it in. I got that.

I gotta disagree man. It's like saying that a GB fighter is ducking a TR fighter. Has nothing to do with ducking, the companies REFUSE to work together. Floyd doesn't want to do business with Arum, period. I don't blame him, bob's a fucking crook. You can't apply the tr, gb, hbo, sho logic just when it suits an arguement. You gotta except this across the board. All sports, including boxing, is a BUSINESS. and money and business will ALWAYS come first.
