Top Rank and Bob Arum are what is wrong with boxing today

[nickphilli]

Bob Arum is doing a disservice to the sport that made him rich. I as a boxing fan feel cheated by all of his corruption in our sport. I've been watching boxing for a very long time and consider myself a historian of the sport, and in all of the fights and eras I have seen, Bob Arum is doing more than any other promoter ever to destroy the sport we all love. One or two bad decisions in a row could be a coincedence, however when we get bad decision after bad decision that all seem to favor the Top Rank fighter, I personally suspect foul play. We as fans have got to stand up and do something. This man is delusional, look at the card we had last night. Can you believe that was a PPV event? On top of that we didn't even get a fair decision! I believe we need to run this man out of the sport, he had his time, and made some big names and money. Right now though he is preventing the biggest PPV in history and the fight everybody wants to see all for what is in HIS best interest. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather want to fight, Bob Arum doesn't want to risk his cash cow, atleast not yet. We have got to give credit to Goldenboy for making fights that fans want to see. When Bob Arum is out of the sport, we will see a lot less corruption in the sport. It is time we take a stand and let Bob Arum and Top Rank know that they are destroying OUR sport! He is not only cheating the fans, but the fighters as well.

Amen! I agree 10% with you. And people will say that is the nature of boxing and promoters blah blah, but are we forever gonna keep on passing this **** as "nature of the sport" or do something... I propose we poison Bob.

what about the kirkland fight ???!!! was arum promoting that too, or did ****** boy promote that fight !!!!

Bob is surely a POS and is only interested in lining his own pockets, but robberies have been happening in this sport for a 100yrs. Lots of them had nothing to do with Arum.

[Russian Crushin]

Its not only Bob but just about everybody

Ahmet Oner and Haymon are no better. Not sure why Arum is always singled out

Plus robberies are nothing new

[nickphilli]

Agreed..robberies have been around since the start of the sport..but never has it been so blatantly obvious. I feel like I'm watching Diggstown every Top Rank ppv.

I used to think Don king was the bad guy and Bob was the good. Boy was I wrong about Bob.

LOL, Arum/Top Rank are being blamed for the bad things in boxing cuz of 1 fighter in their stable being hate on.

Arum/TR is just 1 of the reasons, not solely the reason. Even boxers themselves(not all of course) are to be blame also. State commissions, judges, boxing organizations(WBO, WBC, etc..), promoters, and fans are on the list of who to blame.

[Deevel916]

I put more blame on the commisions for not disciplining or getting rid of these judges who continuously turn in these ridiculous scorecards.

I keep saying this....Don't pay for PPV.
