Gotta Admit, Bob Arum is great for boxing

[Khalid X]

Arum has built several guys like Pac, Cotto, Mayweather, De la Hoya, Margarito, Morales and countless others.

Not only that but he is getting the lowerweight class guys shines with his latin fury and other small PPV fights. If it wasn't for that I would have to watch ****ty streams, but thx to him I can order and watch fighters like Montiel, Calderon, Donaire and others I would have never been able to see.

Bringing boxing back to its roots with fights in major stadiums was also a stroke of genius. Cowboys Stadium, Yankees Stadium and soon to be Giants Stadium are great venues for the sport of boxing.

I like Arum alot as a promoter and he has always been great for the sport of boxing.

If Im not mistaken he was the first to bring boxing back on regular TV with his Top Rank live series. I love this because I always like watching young prospects and future stars early on in there career, and we get a chance since thats who is mostly fighting on those Top Rank live cards.

Louis John DiBella.

Exactly, a bunch of these biased mofo's don't like him cuz he promotes Pac or cuz Floyd doesn't like him.

The only thing Arum is good for is putting cards together without the need or help of TV networks apart from that he does nothing really for boxing than bring it down.

Absolutely correct. And he trashes fighters that leave him. He's good at that I guess.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

What makes him decent?

That he actually gives a damn about his fighters as people and has a thoughtful approach to his work with boxers, and it's apparent everytime you see the guy talk about any of them, period. I value that, because it's rare.

I was answering the question asked.

People have been hating on Arum since long before the Floyd-Pac blowup of the last 12 months. It's not exactly news.

Arum has been good to boxing but not good to his fighters

I know I have. I disliked him long before Pacquiao or Mayweather came on the scene.

Arum promoted those fighters but he didn't "build" any of them. And Mayweather took off in stature after he left Arum. Delahoya would have been huge with any promoter. And it's no coincidence that both Delahoya and Mayweather left Arum.
