A Great Article on Bob Arum (sports Illustrated)

haha, I wonder if this is true or not. "So I went to talk to Ali," Arum recalls. "He says, 'Jim wants to do what? Bring him here.' So I took him to Hyde Park in London, where Ali used to run. Ali said, 'Jimmy, here's what we're going to do: You hit me as hard as you can.' So Brown starts swinging and swinging, and he can't hit him. He's swinging wildly and not even coming close. This goes on for, like, 30 seconds. Then Ali hits him with this quick one-two to his face. Jimmy just stops and says, 'OK, I get the point.'" Arum must have alot more crazy stories we'll never hear of. Itd be good to just run into him at a bar and hear him tell his tales.

You presently have far too much toxic waste in what you call your head. And I wouldn't dream of instructing you as to how to properly spell "P-S-Y-C-H-O-L-O-G-Y" An obvious Jew-hater who already knows everything-even before it happens. And you have 9 spelling and syntax errors in your 3 lines of wisdom. Don't use a dirty rag for wiping your dribble, use your sleeve as you normaiiy do...... well said! if you don't like someone that is fine.. but don't use their colour of skin, race or religious beliefs as the reason.

That old bitch can eat a dick! I visualised Riley saying that and I literally lol'd.

If this is Jewish written it will be abunch of toxic waste to our brains. Top Rank Propagana. Jewish writers use phycology in there articles to try to sway perception of it's readers. Hollywood and the Media do it aswell! You presently have far too much toxic waste in what you call your head.

**** bob arum. i hope hurries up and dies. i know that's harsh but it is what it is i ****ing hate the fact that this man has stopped so many great fights from happening and in it's place gave us watered down in house matchups Such an expert you are.....and how right??He stopped all the Ali fights from happening, and don't forget Marvin hagler's whole career list. Yes how right you are.... ignoramus. It's people like you who have brought this once excellent site down to your level.

A well written article...shame it doesn't get into all the times he has been implicated in bribing officials or what people he likely had killed.

If any of you are up for some good journalism, please take sometime to read. A friend of mine sent me this today. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/chris_mannix/12/05/bob-arum-bonus/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_wr_a4 You are very fight, this is a great article, and really rivetting. I don't exactly see the cocaine and ording the guards to shoot at the crowd in his makeup, but it makes a completely isolated, intriguing story. The article just confirms what I've always felt about Arum as a person, but surprisingly doesn't really mention his considerable charitable inclinations and donations. He and his wife keep several charities going, and I know personally that he keeps at least 3 charities afloat, being their main donor. She has been working in The Home of the Good Shepherd, (for lost and wayward girls) for over 50 years, and is a director and worker in many similar charities. I suppose that the focus is on boxing. Altogether, a fine and often misunderstood (the story of his life) couple.

That was a good read says a lot about the Arum we see today.

Yes indeed. But I guess this had already been posted.

Arum truly the greatest promoter of all time, whether you love him or hate him
