so this is ray robinson's family during one of his fights, but theres a man who looks like bob arum.
if it is him, was he promoting fights back then too??

I just had another, closer look. In the row behind I see a nose eyes and mouth etc, partial. Yes, it looks as much like Arum as Arum himself does. I'd bet it is, but not as a promoter, why not as a spectator.
Bob arum 's face would not look that old in the Robinson era. It can't be him
It doesn't look remotely like him. I assume you're talking about the man with glasses??
IT looks like his crooked ass but it's not him. Bob didn't start promoting till the late 60's.
Ray Robinson was being promoted by the Madison Square Garden group then. Arum would have been in law school at the time that photo was taken. Good find nonetheless
i'm not sure. i just stumbled upon the picture.
& i dont think it was
these guys would be drenched in sweat or look irritated don't you think? lol
Yes good point.
What year was that photo taken?
Hope it wasn't at the joey maxim fight. That would be painful.

Not sure, I don't think its him from what I know Arum only started promoting fights in the 60s and Robinson's last fight is in 65 against Archer, don't think Arum would be promoting a Robinson fight at that time. JMO anyway I may be wrong, it does look like him.
but the guy was born in 1931. so it still could be possible
