Why is Arum made out to be such a bad person?

[Pu·gi·list]

First of all, his job is a promoter. This is all business. Everyone else can talk and put business first, but Arum can't?

Secondly, Arum has made many boxers into multimillionaires. Do you think Bradley would be at the level he is today this soon if TR hadn't helped him?

Third, Bradley has the fan drawing power of a gnat but will continue to make millions under Arum with a high guaranteed minimum. Sure, TR is recycling fights right now, but they're going through a rough patch that I'm sure they're trying to address. They are trying to do what they can to prevent losing a top welterweight like Bradley to their competition. This is business 101.

I, of course, agree with the tax issue surrounding Pacquiao and I hope it gets resolved, but I don't have enough information to make a judgment on that yet. However, Pacquiao has also become a mega superstar under Arum amassing wealth beyond his wildest dreams (assuming the tax issue gets resolved).

Fat cats tend to be disliked people, because well, greed.

All businesses, at their essence, are greedy. However, you can't deny that Arum has played an important part in helping build Bradley, marketing Bradley, giving Bradley opportunities, and making him into a multimillionaire.

I don't know.

But I do know that Bradley vs Alexander was the floppest
of the flops. Seemed only maintenance people and employees in
the stadium showed up. HBO almost didn't show the fight.
That's how unpopular these guys were. Fast forward, who would
have thought Bradley would become a millionaire? Alexander didn't.

because he isn't young, doe.

[M.I Truth ?]

people dont like him because he blatantly lies when he feels like it. He also has said things about not making the big fights and not caring how people felt about it. Remember Juanma vs Gamboa? Fighters\network wanted it. Bob didnt.

Schaefer and GBP lie all the time. Why not the same hate for them? Just because they have better fighters at the moment around the welterweight class?

[NearHypnos]

Bradley is making millions now? >__>...

People hate Arum for being a snake. Been caught paying off peeps, apparently rips off his fighters hard and what has he done for Tim? Tim's the one winning fights and gets no love. Period.

I don't think he's a bad guy.

He's got a great accent too.

Bradley was already a millionaire and making good money before signing for Top Rank. He turned down a 1.3 million offer to fight Khan before he signed for Top Rank.
