Bob Arum: "The UFC won't allow out-of-shape (Arreola) athletes on their cards"

[SuckaPunch]

Heavyweight disgust:

Arum watched the Chris Arreola-Jameel McCline fight on HBO last weekend … but wishes he hadn’t.

“Let me tell you something,” he said. “I really got sick to my stomach Saturday night with these two heavyweights who were obviously overweight and out of condition fighting on HBO and representing heavyweight boxing in this country. That to me was a disgrace.

“We in boxing criticize the UFC, but Dana White would never, ever allow athletes like that to fight on his cards, out of shape with ridiculous rolls of fat. I think it’s ridiculous. HBO is so worried about lights and camera angles; they should worry about the athletes they give time to.”

Yeah I think that's very true! I read this a while ago:

Never really seen Roy Nelson but he is fat as hell but Dana White wants nothing to do with him because he looks like he's eaten more sparring partners than he's worked with!

Didn't Bob Arum promote Butterbean? I recall he did, in fact he made the televised portion of the DLH-Rivera card.

Good point, Arum should STFU.
