I always post the truth so here is my opinion on this matter. Arum tried to get Williams out of the WW picture for Margs and Cotto. Saying Williams and his people almost did him dirty is the biggest hypocritical lie there is. You aren't fooling anyone when critics ask when is Margs going to fight Williams. Just say you want a money fight for Margs, fans will understand. You want a track record of this fat turd of a liar Arum, here is:
On the first week of January 2004, FBI agents raided Arum's Top Rank office in Las Vegas. Arum was on vacation when his office was raided, and the FBI originally declined to comment on the raid. The media reported that the FBI was investigating allegations that Top Rank was involved in fixing the rematch between de la Hoya and Shane Mosley. Although this seemed odd considering De La Hoya lost and Arum was De La Hoya's promoter. Also De La Hoya has the bigger name, and if anything the match should have been fixed in De La Hoya's favor to set up the second rematch. The federal agency also announced that it was investigating some of Eric Esch's fights, as well as the Jorge Paez-Verdell Smith fight. The investigation closed in the summer of 2006 with no charges being filed.
Arum was penalized $125000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for a 1995 bribe to get a fight sanctioned.
Floyd Mayweather on Arum feud: ("Cut the middle man out and see what you can get. You were talking about paying me $2 or $3 million when it really should have been $6 million. And once I cut the middle man out, it became $15 or $30 million.")
Forty year feud with Don King, who called him a "rat fink" in 2000.
2003 feud with Nevada State Boxing Commission
2007 accusations of "sucking the life out of the sport and not putting anything back in," and unethical behavior.
Arum has been accused of being racist by Robert Lee, disgraced former head of the I.B.F. Lee said: "I pin the racism charge on him because he once told me: `We will let the Blacks and the Latinos fight in the ring and we will count the money on the outside'."
HBO feud
De La Hoya feud
Floyd Mayweather smear campaign
Goossen feud: “It’s obvious Bob hasn’t learned one thing from his latest bag of false and inaccurate accusations..."
Arum has suggested that the UFC is “a bunch of white guys that can’t compete in any other sport.”
