        maybe, but i think he'd take sides with a black/Latino/Asian/etc...over a *** if it were going to make him more money.

        Just like Don King and most people in the business.

        Green is the most important color.

          He's also hinted at wanting to milk Pavlik because he's white.

          I don't like Arum...I want to smack that ****** grin he always has on his face.

            When we got crooks disagreeing all there scandals appear. Arum will talk back on the IBF organization and the will be a political boxing match

            Anything that sell it helps.

            Don King used the race card to promote mega fighter like Ali and Foreman.

            I once post a 20/20 documentary about Don King. He was monoplizing boxing to himself and made fighter who signed with him to have his Don King's son as his manager.

              Every Boxing promoter in boxing has dirt.

              Delahoya was talking **** about Arum a few years ago talking about he beat "The biggest *** to come out of Harvard"

              Arum replied "Delahoya wants to be a promoter, yet he barely finished highschool"

              I dont believe Arum is a Racist, he's a very smart man.

              Who has worked with some of the biggest black and latino fighters ever.

                People in different positions and class are racist in different ways. He is smart but with these word it shows he is racist in a different type of ways.

                  He's a very successful, rich ***ish Business man. They tend to stick with their own, but will work with anybody to make the green.

                  Ive talked to bob a couple times, I see him at alot of fights.

                  If he is a Racist, It must suck because he's always huggin up on Mexican and Black fighters after they win.

                    Here is a better word to use for Arum maybe racist is a strong word but he is sterotypical person who judge people by the looks.

                    It normal for some people to work with people they dont like that what they call proffesionalism. Arum is not friend or buddy with these fighters but he is there boss and promoter and he doesnt see what best for them but what is best for him and his business.

                      Thats why I said if he let Morales fight again.

                      I think he does look out for his fighters best interests.

                      Delahoya for awhile started ******** in vegas after too many drinks, Arum made sure the casino's cut off Delahoya after he lost more then 250 grand.

                      Chavez fought alot longer with Don King then with Arum, King was acctually going to pit Chavez with Trinidad if Chavez got by Willy Wise. Thank god Chavez Lost.
