近日,著名的拳击推广人凯西杜瓦接受了采访,就最近热门话题梅威瑟VS帕奎奥漫长的谈判发表了自己的看法。该推广公司成立于1978年,推广过伦纳德VS郝恩斯,刘易斯VS泰森等大型战役。也是现轻重量级冠军科瓦列夫的推广人。
记者问;是什么阻止了大战的发生?
凯西说;如果梅威瑟想让战斗发生,它就会发生,我不知道他做了什么。如果他不想让战斗发生也和容易,躲在别人身后就是了。我个人的看法是,在这个时间点,基于最近帕奎奥所说的和所做的来看,帕奎奥真的想让战斗发生。
至于阿鲁姆,即使他很讨厌对方,就像多年前与我的丈夫,他们相互憎恨的程度我甚至都无法描述,但照样合作了一些大战。他与唐金的关系也是水火不容,也还是一起促成了些大型的战斗。
但现在有些东西已经改变了,我不知道阿鲁姆怎样。但我看到了有人在阻碍战斗的发生,一遍又一遍的阻碍。一段时间后你会注意到一个模式,某一个拳手会为了回避和挑战另一个对手,而放弃自己的头衔,有时候会在HBO已经完成比赛合同的情况下,转投SHO。我认为,无论是拳手还是所谓的顾问,是他们彼此同意不让战斗发生。
Robert Brown: Kathy, I want to get your promoters view on a hot topic in boxing. Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is once again in talks. Do you think Bob Arum and Al Haymon and their unwillingness to work together is what’s stopping that fight from taking place?
Kathy Duva: If Floyd Mayweather wanted the fight to happen, I think it would happen, I don’t know if he does. It’s easy to hide behind somebody if you don’t want a fight to happen. My personal opinion is that at this point in time, it appears Manny Pacquiao really does want the fight to happen. I think he does, based on the things he’s said and done recently.
As far as Bob Arum is concerned, I gotta say, Bob Arum has been involved in ** big fights with people he can’t stand many times, including with my own husband years ago. When they hated each other more than I can describe, and believe me, they hated each other as much if not more intensely than the relationship Arum has with Al Haymon right now.
Arum’s relationship with Don King over the years has been just as acrimonious, yet the big fights always got made then. Something’s changed, I don’t know if it’s Bob but I do know that when you see someone obstructing over and over again, after a while you start to notice a pattern. I see a pattern.
You see fighters giving up their titles rather than take a big fight, you see them moving over to Showtime when a fight with HBO is done already. You see constant avoidance of serious challenge by one person’s fighters. I don’t know how on earth you can’t see this pattern. I think whether it’s the fighter or the so called ‘advisor’ I really don’t know, but clearly they agree with each other or this wouldn’t be happening. |
