“Fuck Bob Arum. Pay me what I deserve bitch; you been trying to sign me anyway, lame,” stated 4-division former world champion Adrien Broner, who took to his social media accounts to attack Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum not long after learning that he was no longer in the running to face 8-division former world champion Manny Pacquiao. Arum recently made it clear that although he was indeed working with Al Haymon to make the fight, Broner priced himself out of the fight by asking for “crazy money”.
“I was dealing with Al Haymon on making that fight. Al tried, but Broner was asking for crazy money that nobody can afford, so he is out and Manny is looking for another opponent,” Arum explained in a recent interview. Evidently, Broner took offense to Arum’s financial offer. “Don’t let me tell the press about our meeting we had years ago at your crib in LA,” Broner added, threatening to reveal details about a meeting he had with the promoter years ago. According to sources connected to Broner, we’re told that he wanted a guarantee upwards of $10 million for the fight.
