    Comments Thread For: DAZN Exec on Arum's Women's Boxing Comments: 'They Will Blow Up in His Face'

    Joe Markowski thinks Bob Arum should speak for himself as it relates to his controversy-raising remarks on women's boxing. Arum, the 90-year-old head of Top Rank Inc., caused a firestorm recently when he claimed that people "don't particularly pay attention to the women's fights."

    Dude is correct with what he said. Thing is, bobs at an age where he just doesn’t care anymore. We’ve all got parents or grandparents who are at a similar stage in life.

    Personally, I think bobs comments aren’t anywhere near as bad as people are reacting.

    you’d think he said a load of sexist comments.

    Let’s make Something clear, JAKE PAUL has put this fight together. NOBODY else. Just Jake.

        You got to admire him for not giving a **** and their is truth in a lot of what he says but possibly not the best thing for a promoter. The other Top Rank guys must cringe every time he speaks.

          If you see the original article, I can’t remember the headline but it’s Arum and his comments.

          I made it clear he’s wrong. If you go look, I promise you you’ll see. In no place did the word “admire” pop up in my post. What makes you think I admire him? Because I said about the parents and grandparents?

            Aren’t you funny mate? This is the 2nd time you’ve asked something, and i when I give you the complete opposite answer to what you anticipated, you retreat like a R A T up a drainpipe!!

                Bob's right and Bob's wrong but nobody should be using his position as a rallying cry because his position changes each time he opens his mouth. Bob said those things because he's a salty old man and was pissed that Jake Paul and a few high-profile women were about to take some of the attention away from his featured attraction. Bob gets angry when it affects Bob's bottom line.

                Women's boxing isn't the equal of men's boxing but that may not always be the case. Women's MMA has a more respected position in that sport because there is more talent and better product overall.

                Also, women's boxing is something that alot of promoters and content providers see value in because it's relatively inexpensive and may reach different target audiences.

                  If DAZN love female boxing so much, let them put on some female only cards and we'll see how many viewers they get.

                  I suspect that the experiment wouldn't last very long. #outofbusiness

                    Women's sports in general is garbage. They're below the level of amateur men.
