Pavlik should be happy that Arum is even payin him that much to fight Butte, it beats being in a Betty Ford clinic for Rehab..LOL. Cmon! Boxers are sturgglin to get a paycheck and your complaining...Plus u will get exposed by Butte who is going to give you so many angles that your head is gna spin out of control....This is what's wrong with boxing these days..boxers just talk a big game, train for 6 to 8 weeks than don't show up when it's fight night...Paycheck fighter! Than boxers whine and complain why do people hate on me? why don't they respect my skills?.. It's not personal it's a fact, if your not performing the way you should against a club fighter, against a former teacher or former mechanic, what do you expect people to say you had a great performance? I think Pavlik is just scared and his mind is weak.. Cunningham would put him to sleep.!

Move over Amy Winehouse-Pavlik is boxing's Amy Winehouse a drunken bum fixated on embarrassing himself and his family. Johnny Tapia must be advising Pavlik now. What a messed up poor pitiful soul Pavlik is. Knockedout by booze and Ko's by shame and self doubt what a loser. sad. for the pasty pale tattoed ****.

Wow, your empathy for other human beings is amazing!

When I read Pavlik's Camp Issues I briefly thought he'd come out the closet...

Kelly obviously has problems, and they're the kind that preclude getting in a ring to fight someone. He sounds like he is giving up boxing to concentrate on drinking. He wouldn't be the first, he won't be the last.

i don't blame pavlik. although he's not been busy,this is a business and arum is one of the dirtiest in it.

Just this once..... I suspect that this may not be Bob Arum's fault.

Hard to believe, I know.

But I suspect that Kelly's old demons are back.

Good riddance, Pavlik.

I couldn't be happier.

Some one studying the justice system found that as a result of percieved deminished capacity, due to alcohol intoxication, the sentence was lighter than normal. Consequently, people, after knowing this, tended to get drunk before commiting a crime in search of leniancy. The drugs and alcohol are just an excuse to quit, a desease of the heart. Pavlik wants sympathy and people to say how great he would have been if it wasn't for that demon rum. I say, if he goes out like this, he's a bum and I'll see him in the gutter.

How the hell does Arum come into it?? Has Arum caused him to be a drunk, or "mixed-up"?? If you'd investigate, you might find that Arum was behind having him go to a sanitarium to get himself straightened out. I would not be surprised. You Arum haters are yourselves hateful.

Arum shows himself over and over as being a really good guy, in a tough business, and he's just lucky that he doesn't depend on your good-will for the air he breathes. His public comments about one of his top fighters Pavlik, show deep sensitivity to Pavlik's hurt psyche.

To find, after Gennaro Hernandez died, that Arum had been bringing him to his expensive chemo-therapy treatments for years, and PAYING for them too, as well as supporting Hernandez' family, was no surprise to me as I've known for years that he is a philantropist, giving large charity all round the world.

But you guys still hate him, and love a dirt like Mayweather who paid a few thousand for the funeral (we don't know if he did, but that he offered to) because, as HE SAID, a few weeks before, he'd told Hernandez that he'd send him a few thousand......He NEVER sent it, so the funeral expense was supposed to make up for that.......

He paid for the funeral, and Arum publicly commended him for doing that.

Actually, I couldnt believe Bob's comment towards Floyd, he was more than gracious.

Arum does surprise me sometimes.

He is a lying thieving cheating conman, and a very good one, but he does have a heart, and he does have an honest side to him.

Also, I believe Arum's version of events concerning this Pavlik issue.

Not a Bob fan, not by a long shot, but credit where it is due.

It's hard for YOU to believe, but don't include intelligent, reasonable people in your back-handed compliment to Arum. It's not Hard for ME to believe.
