Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Casts Doubt On Crawford's Mental Fortitude To Beat Spence

[P to the J]

Just don't see any evidence of Arum being a racist though. After all these years the man isn't squeaky clean but first I am hearing this specific one. It's also mighty coincidental it's at this time where that word is tossed around for anything.

In fairness, I'm merely saying that making money out of someone is different to being "right on", because it's just financial self-interest.

No actual idea if Old man Bob should actually be called Old Crusty Bigoted Bob, or not. Crawford's word against his at this stage.

Yes, it's been reported to me.

****, that's pretty cool

You joking right?
This Champion4ever guy same connections told him for a Fact that Tyson Fury cheated in his fights with Deontay Wilder Lololololol Fury apparently had weights in his gloves

Hang on, Fury had weights in his gloves??

So to you Arum is a racist? If so what evidence do you have?

That’s not what I said. Your reasoning that he promoted black fighters so he couldn’t be racist is just wrong.
Arum is a pig so he’ll promote Hitler if he could as long as he’s making money.
Maybe he’s not racist but I don’t care. He is just a

Context Context Context …. Arum did promote black fighters but money was the bottom line. He was not doing it out of charity or goodwill.

Doesn't matter.

The problem is that Crawford is using the wrong argument.

Remember, we just saw a Top Rank black fighter and a Top Rank Mexican fighter, both at the top of the rankings, in a major fight.

Crawford's argument is ******. His failure to self-promote and appeal outside of the 'boxing bubble' - draw casual money - was always the problem. And that's what Arum would say in court.

I didn't say that, but consider that he still promotes several black fighters and has promoted many over the years. Where are all the accusations at? My point being calling someone racist is a go to for those suffering from victim mentality these days and that word shouldn't just be thrown around like it is especially without a shred of proof.

Thats where I disagree, that is slander, Crawford is calling him a racist, Bob isn't calling him one, so the burden of proof falls on Crawford.

That’s a fair argument. Maybe he’s not a racist but he’s def a piece of shït
Oscar, Floyd, Cotto, Gamboa, Mikey Garcia, Crawford all have nothing good to say about him. Even PAC tried to leave him and even signed with Golden Boy until Bob the low life took him to court.

That for me is a smoking gun for someone who is dishonest and a thief. If someone calls him a racist, I won’t be surprised but your point is very fair.

Arum would hate it if Crawford vs Spence happens and Crawford wins. First, he would miss out on the only successful Ppv has been a part of and second, if Crawford wins, he becomes #1 on many p4p lists, becomes the only 2 time undisputed champion and opens up other big fight opportunities such as fighting the potential undisputed champion at 154. Arum would hate to see that after allegedly losing so much money promoting Crawford up to this point.

all facts...

Oh I never disagreed that he is a POS. Greedy and corrupt like most promoters. Figured he'd f**k anyone over all skin colors included lol. Never meant to jump on you over it, just feel that particular accusation needs significant proof so those people are exposed instead of it being brushed off. That term is tossed around so much these days. I appreciate your points and keeping this topic insult free.
