Comments Thread For: Arum Receives Backlash for Women's Boxing Comments; Jake Paul Answers Back, Calls Him 'Dinosaur'

I agree everyone is entitled to their opinion, as long as they know free speech is not unlimited. Arum is just a bitter old man and can't stand anything connected to Hearn. I don't dislike Arum, while I can't stand Hearn.

Both of them are promoters... I wouldn't trust neither of em.

Nobody hates women, but women's boxing sucks.

I usually try to avoid it, but i recall being pressured by some beta on here to watch a rematch between Katie Taylor and some ginger chick.

Literally the worst fight I've ever seen, it was like watching a couple of children flail at each other in the playground. No power, no skills, just two women punching each other, i don't want to see that shit.

If Stuart loses... Whyte goes down... He should be made to publickly state he knows shiat about boxing... If, on the other hand, Fury loses to Whyte? for whatever reason? You and I should be forced to go to a WBA association championship game...

So, if some people care, like myself, then that isn't 'nobody.' How can you watch someone like McCaskill, for example, and not care about women's boxing? A lot of these women are warriors, despite their strength limitation, compared to men.

Have you seen the Katie Taylor and Jessica McCaskill fight?

A very small minority care but that is clearly the example here. For every Taylor/McCaskill fight there are far more duds. They serve as bathroom breaks and beer runs for the most part because for the most part they are almost guaranteed bores.

Well, it's your opinion. You also don't seem to like elite Black boxers, like Gervonta Davis, either. So, to each their own, I guess.

Agreed 100%. I respect Arum more tho. He's a legend promoter, for good or bad. My only beef with him is not making Davis-Loma.

What's wrong with Hearn? Even though they're all crooks, he seems the best of the bunch.

He comes across to me as the biggest liar in boxing. My favorite name for Hearn is snake oil salesman. The only fighter of his that I'm interested in is Katie Taylor. Without her, I wouldn't even mention him.

We all see things differently.

I look at a man Arum's age, with the gravitas he has attained and frankly find him pathetic. legacy outlives us all... It is immortality, it is greatness... Somewhere in the light years that infinitely expand as part of the Universe are sound waves coming from a 1930's Louis Prima era big band joint, the tune is "sing sing sing"... Prima's creation floats through space, played perfectly by Benny Goodman this night. In that set of sound waves is perfection, and one day something will listen to that creation and know legacy... they will know it universally... they will be able to feel the emotion, perhaps even dance... and see attainement. They might see a video of people dancing to the tune, captivated, losing themselves in this perfect creation of sounds, arrainged just so...

Arum is the antithesis of this universal strive towards perfection of craft, He is a greedy old felcher who only wants more schekels, for God knows what reason...I mean Floyd is the same... you can't take them with you! Arum should be taking these young guys and forcing them to think about legacy, about creating a narrative using their skills to show what a person can attain on a path... He should demand that the best fight the best... That these guys do not waste another minute on the trivial... Yet here he is and what has he accomplished? He basically has made it so Fury will never fight for legacy. People like Arum and Floyd, how he handles Tank. virtually guarantee that none of these guys will fight each other when it matters.

Arum has no appreciation for that which is transcendent... that which is greater than us all... whether this is part of what one might call God, The Most HIgh, or Humanism... Its sad and ignorant. Don King is the same... King is smart enough to have survived in a concrete jungle that would have killed most off. He has been able to thrive, and done so at the expense of talent and youth... and wouldn't at some point this bstard realize the greater good? the legacy, the potential impact developing and helping a great fighter embody the struggles that define us all? NO... same as Arum, Floyd and the rest of the gang... Its very sad. There is hope for the Paul Brothers... But time will tell if they get it, or not. Its very sad really.

He's not wrong, the vast majority don't care about womens boxing.


Anyone got the numbers for the Shields PPV?

Sorry but not opinion, fact. Lol there we go play that card. I clown Porky and rightfully so. Yet I am a big fan of Ennis, Crawford Spence, just to name a few.
