    Arum - a good man - forgives Floyd (Interview)

    "Really, I wish Floyd the best," Arum said. "I have some fond memories of Floyd.

    "I remember when he came to our offices one day, wearing some crazy outfit that had all the colors of the rainbow in it. I remember, or I should say that Todd reminded me, that Floyd was really a sweet kid back then, one of two fighters who got invited to Todd's wedding.

    "He was very sweet but very naive about a lot of things back then. Since such a young age, all he did was train to box and box.

    "On another day, he was at our office and was clearly exhausted. Todd asked Floyd why he was so exhausted and Floyd said he had been running all over town to pay his phone bill and his light bill and this bill and that bill," Arum said.

    "We told him he could pay all those bills with personal checks but he didn't know that. All his life was boxing, boxing, boxing and nothing else. So I'm not going to kick him now, I feel bad for him."

        Cool story from Arum. Thanks for posting.

        also I have to agree with Arum, which I thought I never would when he says "I feel sorry for him". I feel the same way...
