    For burying the hatchet and letting by gones be by gones. Now we don't have to worry about missing potential matchups anymore because the 2 promoters didn't like each other. I'm sure this was more about making money as opposed to simply doing right by the fans or fighters, but I don't care. We missed a slew of matches a few years ago because Arum and King couldn't get along and the only time they really put aside their differences was for the Lewis-Tyson fight.

    So you can think these 2 for all the great matchups we got coming up in the near and later future. Kudos all around. :clap:


    P.S. GBP just recently inked Casamayor. Here's how I predict that will play out. Casamayor gets a low level fight, and nothing else for a long time and eventually asks out of his contract which GBP gladly does. They probably signed him just to freeze him out from fighting their other fighters.

    Well then Kudos for Oscar and Arum for being smart enough to know they can make a lot more money as partners then as enemys.

    There is that good enough for ya?

    Well, the other way of looking at it is the two of them cost boxing some of the biggest potential fights in recent years because of their unnecessary feud.

    It is good that they're working together now, because they have two of the best stables of any American promoters and it should allow for some great fights in the future.

    Soto-Guzman being a great example.

    Casa hasn't really done anything in the past couple years to help his cause at all. His style is so un-entertaining. He isn't a draw, so none of the champions around him need him whatsoever. Juan will clean out the other Diaz's and Casa will be stuck fighting up and comers who are looking for a name on their resume. Sucks for Casa, but he made this bed.

    Lewis/Tyson had nothing to do with Arum or King. It was HBO and Showtime who teamed up for that one.

    Great and accurate post.
    Joel should have fought Juan two years ago when he was afforded the opportunity, but the idiot Latino hothead that is his manager priced himself out of it, and now Joel is broke, and so is the manager.
    There is no bigger fan of Joel's here than myself as I have followed him for close to twenty years now ever since he won the world championship as an amateur.
    His mistake was aligning himself with that idiot Luis Decuba as his manager.
    Luis (I hope I got his name right) has the mentality of a grapefruit.

    would you offer your managerial services? a cepillo/stinger team would be powerful
