Bob is not a racist.
He simply comes from an era and a background where he finds it difficult to promote a black fighter and so black fighters on his stable are usually placed on the back burner and the lighter skinned fighters are made into superstars.
Are you part of the LDBC?
Yea ur right, Bob Arum invests his money in black fighters cause he doesn't like them. U all r so annoying
Is that sarcasm I am reading?
I never said he doesn't like black fighters.
My point is that he makes more of an effort to build up fighters with lighter skin than he does fighters with black skin.
Fighters with lighter skin have become ppv stars with more regularity than fighters with black skin under his stable.
...and no, it wasn't Floyd.
Bud now knows and Shakur will find out.

- -U breaking out in lumps on top of lumps after repeated beatings.
Need to grow up and drop U nads while absorbing more boxing.
How many x they already set U back a grade?
I got nothing but love for you, my brother.
I can disagree with your point of view without getting personal.
Bump for the ones who hate to see it and for the ones who haven't seen it.

George Foreman got the fight against Michael Moorer because of Bob Arum.
He won the fight to become the oldest heavyweight champion of all time.
The win against Moorer landed him the George Foreman Grill.
So Bob Arum did have something to do with it.
False.
Concocted from your own imagination.
All praise be to Bob since that's the way you'd like it to be though.
He blew through all his money by 1987.
Then he became the second richest boxer of all time while fighting under Top Rank.
Not sure how Arum is faulted for that one LOL
Doubtlessly, Arum was the one who brokered the George Foreman grill deal.
I'm sure he used his charm for hours to finally get George to agree with it.
I'm sure he told George,
"You need to do this. I want to make sure you're financially okay after boxing. I love you, George."
Bob is a fuсking saint.
Disregard everything I said about him before.
What would I concede?
Foreman the second richest boxer of all time. He’s black. Bob Arum promoted him.
:lol1: :lol1:
Some people are so grateful for pennies, they never make dollars.
The article flat out tells you that Foreman blew his money by 1987.
Had he not made a business move (independent of Arum), he would've had his second career and blow through the money again.
We seen that already during act one.
Arum didn’t build Mayweather into a pay per view star?
36 of his 50 fights came under top rank.
He was the number two pound for pound fighter before he left.
He had two highly successful pay per views before he left top rank.
You’re just wrong. Sorry.
No need to apologize, sir.
I still maintain my position.
Also, do you concede on your point about Foreman?
That's not what household name means son.
You probably shouldn't use an expression you don't know the meaning of.
also you are lying.
Okay. Thanks for the advice.
No lie, he is known in the households in Florida.
Are you in Florida?
Bob Arum promoted Floyd Mayweather and George Foreman who are the two richest boxers in history.
Both are black.
Congratulations on the stupidest thread of all time.
Again, Arum did not build up Floyd into a PPV star.
He built him up to be in De La Hoya's shadow.
You mentioning George Foreman, who's last fight was in 1997, proves my point.
Look at how many other blacks the guy has had in his stable since then.
Look at how they don't become stars as regularly as their lighter skin stablemates.
the guy in ur avy (GGG) has the personality of a pet turtle yet he signed a $100 million dollar deal with DAZN .. canelo doesn't even speak fckin English yet he's the "face" of boxing.. Pacquiao AKA "talk to my promoteh bob arrum" had the personality of a rock.. yet all these guys secured megafights and huge deals because of their promoters. not their personality.
Let 'em know.
Whoever can't acknowledge the facts are just refusing to do so because they know it can open up a can of worms.
