"HBO Should Have Forced Calzaghe-Pavlik," Says Arum

[Ray*]

I hate the way Arum think he can play the media and the 10% of dumb fans in boxing, He likes to play everything his own way and if he doesnt get it he cries foul.

[ml2niceguy]

even though i would like to see roy jones win i know he won't...i honestly think wink would have a better chance at beating joe

Jesus Christ. Joe openly said Pavlik was but one option, and his 2nd preference. Jeez even Dawson and Tarver have more of a claim for a fight as they're in the same divisiona at least, and are they talking crap? No.

Arums got some nerve, complete hypocrite. After a defence against a bum, Arum and Pavlik have just done a deal to fight a guy 2 divisions below. There were other options on the table.

And he's calling for a television network to force fights he wants, who the **** does he think he is. Guys a complete hypocrite, he talks of marketing and promoting his guys massively, getting em big fights, but when they don't work out he cries, 100% blames other people not himself or his own people, and talks like a complete *****.

LOL! Good post.

Joe Calsloppy just ducked Pavlik!!!

Doesn't really matter Calzaghe's bitchass clearly avoided a fight with the ever so dangerous Pavlik and even though i give P.Williams credit for having the heart to step up and fight K.P,im afraid that he bit off more than he can chew,mark my words Williams will hang on for about 4-5 rounds then he will be hanging on the ropes there after.
There is a thin line between bravery and ******ity!

If anything, I wish arum would have made a legitimate offer to floyd mayweather jr as opposed to calling him a coward and launching this smear campaign the last 3 years since he was bought out.

he did that before and when he does it, floyd fans call it "bluffing".

[RichCCFC]

LMFAO... He mouths off Calzaghe and Jones for this fight when he's doing a deal to fight a... Welterweight.

[fightingfigs]

Arum is right, He just wants whats best for the sport which would be a Calzaghe Pavlik fight. But instead of having Williams face Pavlik he should have Abraham do it.

[WESS]

Wrong!

LOL, Joe does what his daddy and manager want. That was to fight Jones for a big pay day and stay away from GHOSTS. Anyway WIN or LOOSE, I see Calzaghe coming back to fight Pavlik. I think Pavlik will destroy Williams and call out JOEY... HBO will promote it to happen and I think there will be to much money for joe to not take it, especially if he looses. He'll want to fight and avenge his loss... but hey that's just me. Either way Arum is wrong because the FANS do want to see Jones and Calzaghe, The PPV sales will prove it. Only one hurting the sport is JOE if he ups and retires without proving himself against Pavlik. All his talking about being SO GREAT, yet when the going gets TOUGH (for once in his pathetic career, or at least until recently) he up and retires... lol... that's ***** if you ask me... Professional ***** work!

Just in case someone asks me since im a Mayweather fan.....
You can say the same about him with not fighting Cotto... But I see him coming back to fight him when the moneys right.. So hes not a ***** yet!

Enzo himself in several interviews including Warren, said it's upto Joe who he fights. Joe openly said from the start Roy was his 1st preference, and HE ALONE has arranged it, without even a promoter. So your factually completely wrong.

WESS, you really must stop talking about what you clearly don't know about, and just assume to suite your bias.
