Arum is such a shady clown. This is why he can't get a deal done with Mayweather. HE'S the promoter of Pacquiao and Bradley, but HE'S on the record saying there won't be a rematch unless the Nevada attorney general launches an investigation. What sense does that make!?

Arum has the power to fix all this himself. It's as simple as him saying, "We're going to have a rematch in November and it won't be in Las Vegas unless there's an investigation." Instead, he's trying to deflect criticism and suspicion off of himself while simultaneously protecting his own self interest in case Pacquiao chooses a different promoter.

If Arum goes on the record immediately after this fight and says there will be a rematch without having Pacquiao under contract, he would essentially put himself in a situation where he would have to co-promote with whoever Pacquiao signs with, watch Manny beat the brakes off Bradley in a rematch and then see him go on to make big bucks in a fight with Mayweather and leave Arum completely out of the picture.

This is the same bullshit posturing he's been pulling with Mayweather for almost four years now.
