Arum shamelessly plugging Mike Lee, but criticizes Gary Russell?

[kokingbill]

I was just wondering. I find it interesting how Arum talked smack about Gary Russell being an Al Haymon invention...even though he was an olympian and multiple time amateur national champion. Yet, Arum is pimping out Mike Lee to the white middle class to try to get them interested in boxing when he won some ****** fraternity tough man contest at Notre Dame, and then won the NOVICE division of the Chicago Golden Gloves!!!! hahahaha talk about an invention? AN INVENTION????? See the irony!? Disgusting....

Mike Lee is a bum, the only belt he will ever get is the one that Charlie Z buys off the internet

Thats subway commercial is a travesty. If I was Michael Strahan, I wouldnt share my spotlight with a fruit like Lee.

I agree. In my eyes Russell is light years ahead of Lee in terms of well, everything. But then again it's not to bad either to make some stars that could attract new people to the sport.

I dont think we need people that are going to show up for one gay white guy who is going to end up shuffling paper and pushing pencils in a year or two. Those arent the sort of fans boxing needs.
