"Promoters' silent treatment bad for boxing"

Some excerpts from Lance Pugmire on the current status of the relationship between Bob Arum and Richard Schaeffer:

"just a starting point" ::

 

That Arum-G drama is boring the shit out of me. They're in the business to make money, not to act like spoiled brats and get all emotional.

 

It would be great if Arum dies

 

Let's not forget also that G gets a % of Pacquiao's earnings, no? In which case, if and when TR and G do a show together involving Pacquiao, G gets a disporportionately larger share than TR.

 

2nd person in the last couple of days to say that. opcorn:

 

wouldn't matter. Todd DuBough and he see eye to eye.

 

Why would G get anything from Manny?

 

Part of a settlement over the promotional rights to Pacquiao.

I don't know that the percentage G gets from Pacquiao fights has ever been made public, but some of what I've read leads me to believe it isn't huge.

 

Still, you can imagine it's just one more in a long list of Arum's reasons to be happy that Pacquiao/PBF doesn't happen.

 

I think I read that there is a particular percentage G gets if Pacquiao fights a G fighter.

Arum has been throwing out those quotes saying he and King could make that fight easily.

 

G and Schaefer are a joke, a 50-50 split for Pac-Marquez, sure, that's a good way to start negotiation:notallthere::notallthere:
