Comments Thread For: Golden Boy's CEO on HBO's Decision To End Relationship

[shoog]

goldenboy is smoke and mirrors, i like adrien broner but its on the promoter to put him in worthwhile fights,im tired of the no contests same with guys like garry russel and quillin. Just look at the garcia matthyse debacle. None of these guys are challenged. At least Canelo is finally taking a step up.

Bob ARUM was penalized $125,000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission in 1995 for a bribe to get one of his fights sanctioned.

On the first week of January 2004, FBI agents raided Arum's Top Rank office in Las Vegas. Arum was on vacation when his office was raided, and the FBI originally declined to comment on the raid.

in 2000 bob arum admitted during a federal trial that he bribed the International Boxing Federation president in order to gain a more favorable rating for one of his fighters.


you got any other nice things to say about arum??

so who is the bad guy here golden boy or top rank??

Again bringing that up, when have promoters even been nice guys? They are all the same, it sjust that golden boy tries to pull wool over peoples eyes, its funny though the ones who big up Golden boy the hardest are Floyd fans.

They also big up Al Haymon and crap on Arum.

Arum is probably the best promoter in the game, his events are way better than Golden boy productions, he is the guy who built up many of the legendary fights, and legendary fighters.

I just wish people could stop and realize Golden Boy is pretty much hurting boxing along with Haymon, Arum is like the scapegoat, if something isn;t right just blame Arum since they can't blame King anymore since he is irrelevant.

Toprank roster is weak so either HBO will show more European boxers or their boxing line up is going to be worst in years

or more GBP could leave and go to other promoters

They both do the same thing so basically you are saying its ok when bob does it because you love manny but when schaffer and haymon do it for their guys then the world is about to end.

HBO needs to fire Hershman asap. Since he's tooken over, Hbo has went from the leading boxing us network to the 2nd tier boxing network behind showtime. Dumb move by hbo in my opinion.

Game if Thrones is about to start, no way I'd do that.

Besides I have Comcast and on the west coast where i live, they don't air Showtime boxing live, its delayed three hours. Dumbest sht ever.

As much as I love Game of Thrones, I mainly subscribe for boxing. I will have no issue cancelling HBO, getting Showtime back, and getting the Game of Thrones episodes from a co worker. Im loyal, but not ******. If they wanna **** around and not get some of the best fights, then Im not giving them my money regardless of how much I love HBO.

Might be too soon, but...

R.I.P. HBO Boxing. Shame its coming to an end.

It's not like we have had Top Rank and GoldenBoy working together anyways so what does it matter if HBO decides to cut out GBP. You'll get all the GB fights on showtime and everything else on HBO. HBO took this move in response to GB who deliberately from the sounds of it staged a fight on the same date as an HBO broadcast just to spite them. HBO is the premier brand in boxing and has been the leading boxing provider since forever. Boxing is not done on HBO, its more of the same as long and GB and TR keep fighting.

ALSO DONT FORGET BOB ARUM IS A ***!!!

What does being ***ish have to do with anything? Reported for racism, go crawl back into your hole troll.

Everyone knows Arum is a POS, but Golden Boy acting all holier than thou when they're up to the same **** as Arum is just silly.
