Personally, I don't believe a word that comes out of Bob Arum's mouth.
Just wondering what the general consensus here is, trustworthy and believable, or not?
hahah, here is the basis for your whole thread! trying to make joe look good, and blame arum for joe not getting in with pavlik! dude, ur a pathetic hugger. damn!
Read the post before mine, they brought up Joe C not me.
Also, it was not really the point of this thread at all, I was just watching an interview where both interviewer and interviewee agreed Arum is a liar and a scumbag.
Fighters have to trust these guys to some degree, but as fans, who would ever trust any boxing promoter? They're all greedy bastards who'll say or do whatever need be to stack their chips a lil higher, even if it ain't in their fighter's best interest.

LOL now i understand!!! Why didnt anyone brought out a thread like this when Arum was talking about Margarito>>>Mayweather or Cotto>>>Mayweather? I see your point.
So you believe someone who is a pathalogical liar, and in your own words a "scumbag" over somebody who has always chased the best?
If Calzaghe said that Pavlik doesn't seem to keen on fighting him, you can bet your bottom dollar that Arum is pulling the strings.
Why would Calzaghe duck Pavlik anyway?
Stylistically, Roy is a harder fight than the predictable Pavlik, who just comes forward in a straight line. Calzaghe would make mincemeat of Pavlik's one dimensional style, the words "tailor made" have never, and will never, be more appropriate.

I once saw him on Showtime, standing in the ring next to Margarito promising a shot at Mayweather, and this was YEARS ago....
I'd trust him with my life...
Arum is a scumbag but I think he was honest when he said he wanted the Pavlik-Calzaghe fight to go down. He followed Frank Warren to the ends of the earth this week trying to get a deal, flying him around on his jet, and Warren wanted it but Calzaghe BITCHED OUT. So normally, I don't trust him, but in the recent past I do.

Like any good liar he mixes in truth with his lies or leaves out information that is important. If it is in his favor he will tell the truth, but he also paints things to his advantage.
He is always selling so its hard to ever take him seriously.
I trust that man with my life. We were in Nam together and he took a bullet for me in Dienbienphu about a half a click from the Mekong river.
He's one of the greatest men whoever lived.
Vote yes then, but be wanred, it is public, people will see you trust and believe one of the biggest scumbags on the planet.
arum is a complete bullshitter. if you were his son i wouldnt leave my child with him, that old bastard would pawn his grandchild for a dollar. when arum talks, you are better off thinking he didnt
"If Bob Arum told me the Sky was blue I would look up just to make sure he wasn't lying"
This is the exact attitude I am talking about.
Does anybody else share this attitude?
Even Mayweather won't deal with Arum, at all, and that whore will do anything for a dollar or two...
