What the hell is wrong with Arum?????????????????

[Pennywise X]

Don't want to be one of those tin-foil hat people but. No disrespect to them. They are some of the hardest working people on Earth, but maybe to a fault as you say since Arum damn near single handedly has a stranglehold on the sport.

is hava nagila hebrew for gotta get more money?

PS: I dislike Arum because he is a huge reason why alot of big fights dont get made like FM Jr vs Pac and Mares vs Donaire.

He is a shrewd businessman and yes he is a fake, he smiles for the cameras but the moment you say or do something he doesn't like he becomes a monster. Even Don King feared Arum, he told a story about when Arum got pissed off he would make people get scared, his whole face and eyes and voice would change and he would curse you out.

Just remember when he told Nacho and JMM to stop crying and they were ****ing up the sport? He also got mad when someone made fun of Hilary Clinton supporting Kelly Pavlik, Arum is a die hard democrat and the guy who made the joke was thinking Arum would laugh because Arum was making fun of republicans but Arum didn't like it and yelling that is Bull****! and got super pissed off and told the guy that it wasn't funny or a joke.

I would say the majority of the boxing promoters are slimey guys, Gary Shaw, Don King, Bob ARum, the ones who are cool like Lou Dibella, Kathy Duva, Dan Goossen, Hearn, they are all small time and not on that level, it seems in order to be the top dog in boxing you have to be evil the good guys like the ones I listed below never get to the top like Arum, Golden Boy, King, Shaw.

You forgot about Frank Warren. He was a major ******* too.

Your clearly a butthurt pac "fan" that almost killed himself when his idol went night night, dont you remember manny himself had shirts that said finished business? they both wanted a conclusive ending and said there wudnt be a 5th fight.

I'm a boxing fan, I don't go around making threads to cry about the rematches of the 2 best fights of 2012.

arum is one of the most driven non participants in the history of boxing. you guys overstate his "greed," and underrated his commitment to top rank.


a guy like that will go until he dies. if he stopped working his life would end quickly. believe it. he might even die at an arena, if he never becomes bedridden or hospital bound.



frankly, most of you will never leave a legacy worth building to until the very end in anything outside of your family lives, which is fine. that's a noble pursuit.

some men accomplish more than that.

[Paulie-M]

Simple answer is..... he is a Jew. He is a scabby dirty snakey jew who is ruining boxing with is Shylock ways

[Bigg Rigg]

I hope Arum either retires or dies. Straight up! Idgaf because he don't give a **** about me as big fan who supports the sport.

This fool is like 9000 years old he should be at a point when he wants to spend his last few years on this Earth with his family and enjoy the wealth he has accumulated. It seems there is not enough money in his pocket to quench his lust for money. He is forcing upon us stupid redundant in house top rank fights such as Rios vs Alvarado 2 and Pacquiao vs Marquez 5 yep u heard right number 5! I bet he already has plans for a number 6 SMFH.

What are your opinions on Arum, I think he smiles alot for the cameras but is probably as bad as don king. And why hasnt his health detiriorated in like 20 years? Prognosis? Hes a cyborg.

I see that you jump on to that same old sterotype money-hungry Jew thing.... At least Arum does lots of good things with his money. What do you do, apart from scooting down to the liquor store. And don't you know that he's arguably the best boxing promoter in history.

You are showing that you know very little, and surely it's just a coincidence that you have a pciture of a clown prominently displayed as your image....

I prefered Juan and Manny to go home and let the young guys coming up have a bigger slot! However the bouts between those two are certainly NOT boring, they both get in great condition and come to fight. All the bouts were competitive! Even Manny getting stopped was NOT a lopsided fight, he had Juan in deep trouble the round prior to the end. They were both landing shots and the bout was exciting!!! You know what your going to get action wise!

I worked on Bob Arum shows and he is extremely intense and wants every detail to come off correctly. He is NOT cheap with his expenses and his per-dium is more than fare! Theres alot of talk on this thread alone thats ridiculous but thats what happens when people who have NEVER worked for the guy talk out of their butts!! Ray.

ultra successful people often have no border between enjoyment and productivity. He enjoys being productive like you would enjoy wealth

After Rigo-Donaire and Rios-Alvarado II, Top Rank can burn to the ground for all I care.

I'm not even sure what's taking Golden Boy so long to take over the throne. Top Rank still seems to be the top powerhouse in boxing despite the lack of a decent stable.
