Not equating them Kenny Porter injected Arum name into it like he expecting a direct negotiation or something, I don't even watch Oscar, Arum or Hearns interviews to know what they're saying. I almost exclusively watch fighter interviews (or ppl from their camps) when it comes to what fights they want etc
Yea could care less about whats beneath someone really. As a fan I obviously prefer transparency vs lack of information. If the fights I wanted were being made maybe it wouldn't matter but they ain't being made so i'm not going give someone the benefit of the doubt like they tirelessly working behind the scenes to make those fights. Especially when their fighters suggest the opposite of that.
I'm of the belief that Arum, Hearn and Oscar dont tell the truth in the media. The bits that we get are often shyt, with a rare sliver of truth slipping between the cracks. That's not transparency to me.
The fans have no fukkin clue what goes on in negotiations, and I think it's foolish to believe most of what these promoters say.
