    The first page responses do not do this article justice--nice write up Jake!

    That's Bob for ya. He's a character, an as*hole and a smart business man-he's human. You can like him for it, dislike it, but at the end of the day if his son-in-law doesn't get his attention, I don't think our opinions matter much. I, however, find it quite refreshing that he wouldn't withhold his opinion for the sake of playing nice-it's something you won't see much in his business.

      Even though it was a documentary about Joe, Good on Bob for sticking up on Ali. It's too bad Bob won't be around when Mayweather Jr is that old, Ol Bob would be sticking up for Floyd in the same manner, who he compares to Ali.

      We all know Mayweather will be like Ali and Tyson. Well respected after leaving the game. Right now too many fan boy wanna be know it alls fill the threads with shallow hate and poor logic.

      Glad that Bob stood up for Ali. He was the original villain! Floyd as Bob compares to Ali, is the modern day villain! Although, his trash talking aint got **** on Tyson.

      Ali and Fraizer = Game changers!

        Dude. Don't confuse Floyd's fans with logic. Heads will be exploding all over the world...

          Wow. You are too dumb to even understand the irony in your own post. Floyd was briefly, and barely, mentioned in passing in this article. Several thousand words. You then devote an entire post, on this thread, to Floyd Mayweather. An entire post discussing a guy that doesn't have much of anything to do with this topic. Then, the best part, is that you go on to deride the "fan boys."

          You are literally too ****** for words...

            I agree. Arum is an ******, but he is no different than any other promoter. He is just the best at what he does. I liken his situation with Scott Boras. Most people hate Scott Boras because he is SO good at what he does. They act as though all of the other sports agents have all of this integrity and morality, when in reality they are made of the same exact same cloth as Boras.They just aren't as good as he is. Same situation with Arum. In an industry filled with scumbags, he is the best at what he does. Thus he gets more hate.

            If people dislike the way that Arum conducts business, then they should really have a complaint with the system that allows Arum, and all other promoters, to operate in such a manner...

              and yet you buy into the fact that I was (sarcastically) commenting about Floyd, but miss that fact that I was describing how Bob can say the most outlandish things. The point I was making is that I was glad Bob stood up for Ali. Not to mention describing how Ali and Frazier are game changers...

              Now, carry on with your whinny b*tch a$$... wipe your mouth too little duffle bag boy.

                  You have to be a complete idiot if you really think Bob Arum would ever speak of Floyd that way again...

                  You simple minded kids are something else. Quick to jump the gun when you see Floyd Mayweather. It's whatever, you fools are the ones that pay his bills...

                    Again. You are too ****** for words. I don't give two ****s what Arum thinks of PBF, or vice-versa. This article has nothing to do with Floyd Mayweather, yet you dedicated an entire post to Floyd Mayweather. On this thread. Then, you try to rip Pacquiao fans by calling them "fanboys." Then, when you get called out on your d!(k riding hypocrisy, you claim that you were being "sarcastic," which in the context of your post makes absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL. Just admit that you are a Floyd d!(k rider, and I will stop picking on you.
