Comments Thread For: Arum Says Network Deals Cause Snags With Golden Boy

[warp1432]

Dear Chris Robinson,

Please stop plugging yourself into all your articles. You get some good information, but if I see another "I" in your articles I'll rip my goddamn hair out. This is what your lead should be:

"Top Rank CEO Bob Arum said Tuesday at the Veintanian Hotel Casino that the opponent for Nonito Donaire would be decided by Friday and that the obligations to HBO prevented the fight with WBC titlist Anber Mares from happening."

It might be a little wordy, but the lead of an article should be 25-30 words and get straight to the point. Don't include that Arum told you it. Same goes for "I pressed him further" just say "When pressed further, Arum said blah blah"

Sincerely,

A journalism student

Nobody, not even the great little Floyd Mayweather can stop Bob from doing as he wishes. You’re giving Floyd too much credit while also thinking Pac can actually do as he wishes.

Nice fantasy - now back to reality, each time from day one when one side made progress, the other side threw up an obstackle or moved the Goal Post. And it became a stair-stepping with each side pulling a rung out. Both sides are to blame, it is too obvious.

Whatever helps you sleep at night little fella. I really couldn't care any less.

Bob just needs to man the f*** up and show the world he has the worlds best Super Bantam. O wait it will lose him money and he would lose to his best mates Oscar and Richard.

GBP made all the effort and Bob batted them back. Donaire needs to upsticks and leave and join GBP and start fighting the top guys and prove himself. But alas Bob has such a legal hold on him that will be near nigh impossible as proved a few years back

angry arum is lying. it is personal. the networks are not the problem. GOLDENBOY forked over $3 million for arum and donaire to split. they just wanted mares to fight donaire. the networds didnt have anything to do with the fallout. everybody was going to be compensated. arum destroyed it wih professional excuses.

To be fair, there were a lot of issues with that contract and Top Rank were not out of order to reject it. Nor is it unreasonable to characterize that offer as Golden Boy grandstanding given he nature of the contract itself.

and now so many complaining about Rigo not signing. Legal matters are serious issues and its between Caribe and Top Rank. Arum knew
