You don't really know what "slimy" is until you've dug deep into boxing. You cretinous crappers keep digging up that "lying" yarn not realising that it was a quick off-the-cuff quip by Arum. You don't even know the cirsumstances because you don't really follow boxing, you follow Phoney Phloyd and Arum haters. Let me tell you what it was all about.
After a long night out with a load of newspaper reporters who all, including Arum, got a good bit soused Arum told them a few inside stories but STRICTLY off the record. At a news gathering the next day Arum was asked something which was one of the "off the record" yarns and he denied it. The reporter, strictly against his promise said "...you said something different last night..." And Arum, instead of being held up and embarrassed as the reporter intended, quickly shot back, "...well, I was lying yesterday and telling the truth today...". It was pretty sharp of him but only garbage chasers like you keep digging it out.
And it was about 25 years ago...maybe more.
