People like to hate on bob arum but........

[01samuelc]

it seems like he actually takes care of his fighters. I mean which other promoter could have given a guy like clottey a million dollar payday.

[Cazadores]

That had nothing to do with CLottey. It had to do with an in house fight he can make more money off of, and giving his cash cow another easy fight.

Arum only cares about one thing and that's his bottom line.

[ElBossHogg™]

yup remove pacquaio from his rodster and clottey would never have seen anywhere close to 250k and that being in house, now do buisness with other promotional company and doubt he breaks 100k

What you have to think is he is milking pacquaio for paydays and any fighters will take the risk against pacquaio for an all time high payday.

[The Gambler1981]

Where has he been for Clottey since then, looking out for a guy usually does not mean casting them aside once you are through with them.

Arum is the man. He knows how to manage his fighters in making them stars. Look at Manny. Guy with average skill, promoted him into the fighter of the decade with carefully matchmaking. Arum knows his business well. The man is the hustler of hustlers!!!

[Hougigo]

I like that... taking care of them while he fucks them over

[Mr. Fantastic]

The funny thing about the people that talk so much shit about Arum are the same ones who care about their favorite boxers making money and doing "smart business decisions". Yet when Arum does something smart on business, they hate on it.

this seems like one of the most ******ed things i've ever read on this forum.... what was he suppose to do, not pay him??

my boss pays me every friday too........ i thought it was cause im doing my job, not cause he wants to take care of me

If that's all he cares about Clotty would never have got remotely close to a million dollars. His fighters are almost always very well paid. He makes them into millionaires. Why shouldn't he be allowed to make money as well. If the promotion fails he's out of pocket, not the fighter......
