Wow things got a bit bizarre now that Arum says he wants an investigation of the fight to be done by Nevada's Attorney General but with the catch of the Nevada Athletic Commission can't be involved because of the small feud he has with them. Probably realizes Bradley (also promotes him) won't come close to be as marketable as Pac even if he were to win a rematch.

Same guy who in one of the first interviews after the fight said this:

Quote:
"I've never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight. Can you believe that? Unbelievable. I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, `I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy.' "

It should be noted that Bradley denies ever saying such a thing and his mannerisms in the ring after the bout don't suggest he believes he lost.

"I'll make a lot of money off the rematch, but this was outrageous."

To be fair, Bradley had previous injuries to both feet/ankles and by the press conference decided to use the wheelchair because of the pain he was experiencing. That AND he got his ass beat.

Hmmm, upon further research it appears that while he had previous injuries to his feet, they did end up much worse over the course of the fight. Didn't realize when I posted that that he broke one foot and twisted his other ankle during the fight. I thought he just re-injured them. My mistake, apparently.

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.
