uncle bob has been doing some very good things for boxing lately.At the end of the day Bob calls the shots, especially with the big fights. Todd must do what he says. Sure he's the one doing a lot of the work or most of it, but under bob's orders. From interviews I've read in the past with Todd, he seems to have some very progressive ideas that boxing could benefit from. I think it's just that Arum is in the way of that and all his greed and his tunnel vision.
Arum is VERY oldschool, he's of a dying breed. I'm telling you a lot of the problems we see now with Top Rank will be gone or a lot better when Arum is done.
everyone for example was raving at how great the in arena experience is for recent top rank fights.
i think todd had a lot of influence on that (taking a cue from ufc)Comment
