AA: (Cutting in) How is that disrespectful? Talk about making excuses. So you want to stop the biggest fight in the history of the sport possibly because you're afraid of offending Mexican fans, who actually want to see the fight too? He's got no problems ripping them off and charging Julio [Cesar Chavez Jr.] 50% of everything he makes, or not paying the guy's taxes for six years. That's not disrespectful? He didn't mind tricking Julio into signing extensions by pretending that it's a visa. That's not disrespectful? It's disrespectful to put the biggest fight in boxing history on May 2nd, but let me rip off the prince of Mexico. Let me put him on the shelf for a year, or let me put Mikey Garcia on the shelf for a year. That's not disrespectful to the Mexicans? Chavez wants to fight Froch on the 28th of March, but Bob is telling the whole world that he's not, and that's not disrespectful? He's trying to prevent this dude from earning a living and feeding his family, but that's not disrespectful? Come on, Ben.

I don't think there's any reason for Ariza to make this up. If it weren't true, I think Arum is the type to sue. Yet another example of how shitty Arum is and it continues to amaze me that no one has mentioned this. Instead, all we've heard about are bad things about Chavez Jr. (A guy who I would be the last to defend)

Why is it that the media is so one-sided when it comes to Arum?

Yes, and it seems back when Showtime and HBO agreed to do something similar in the past, they agreed that the winner of the fight will get to have the network he represents play a delayed broadcast after the ppv. HBO wants both networks to be able to play it. In other words, HBO isn't very confident their fighter will win.

The previous post you said this:

"Exactly ... and if Pac's team was an obstacle, Floyd would be talking about them refusing to do random testing, certain gloves, ring size, etc."

Why do you flip flop like a fish out of water constantly? You seem like a very confused individual, I wonder if you are as unsure about being a man or woman, straight or gay.

Which one is it? Network obstacle or Floyd making excuses??
