If this is ***ish written it will be abunch of toxic waste to our brains. Top Rank Propagana. ***ish writers use phycology in there articles to try to sway perception of it's readers. Hollywood and the Media do it aswell!

You are very fight, this is a great article, and really rivetting. I don't exactly see the ******* and ording the guards to shoot at the crowd in his makeup, but it makes a completely isolated, intriguing story.

The article just confirms what I've always felt about Arum as a person, but surprisingly doesn't really mention his considerable charitable inclinations and donations. He and his wife keep several charities going, and I know personally that he keeps at least 3 charities afloat, being their main donor. She has been working in The Home of the Good Shepherd, (for lost and wayward girls) for over 50 years, and is a director and worker in many similar charities.

I suppose that the focus is on boxing. Altogether, a fine and often misunderstood (the story of his life) couple.

A well written article...shame it doesn't get into all the times he has been implicated in bribing officials or what people he likely had killed.

Such an expert you are.....and how right??He stopped all the Ali fights from happening, and don't forget Marvin hagler's whole career list. Yes how right you are.... ignoramus.

It's people like you who have brought this once excellent site down to your level.
