Is Bob Arum good for boxing? What do you think will happen after he is finished with boxing?

Absolutely. He is the best thing in boxing right now. **** I might change my user back to Top Rank in honor of this legend.

I actually think GBP has more talent but they don't know how to use or maximize it. Also they are no where near as good as Top Rank as far as marketing there fighters and getting there names out there.

Bob's a double-edged sword...

He's been putting some of the most memorable fights within the last few decades, but at the same time he's had questionable motives..

Honestly 99% of business men with money have questionable motives...atleast IMO. I know Arum is a POS in most people's mind etc but I'm just happy that he has given us so many classics. I guess your right, he is a double edged sword...lol

I really hope GBP does well for the sake of boxing. They are the future esp since Arum is up in age. I'm just hoping that GBP takes what Arum has been doing lately and run with it.

No,no,no Arum is a greedy promoter who like Don King, Gary Shaw,etc dont give a **** about boxer's well being just how much $$$$$ they steal from them.
then again he is a business man
