    Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Discusses The Current Boxing Landscape

    There is no dearth of televised boxing in the States, currently, both on regular and premium cable outlets and now on terrestrial networks. At last count you had HBO, Showtime, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, UniMas, FoxSports, CBS Sports Network, Telemundo, NBC Sports Network and Spike, among others, who are scheduled to televise a regular slate of fights in 2015.

    Is this a boxing renaissance or was the death of the sport - as Mark Twain might say - greatly exaggerated?

    You can say what you want about bob arum but make no question he is the smartest guy in all of boxing. Arum graduated cum laude, top of the class while haymon dropped out. Haymon is buying airtime while arum is getting paid to put matches on trutv. Nobody is better than arum as a businessman and hes never cheated his fighters out of money.

          It's numerous instances of arum cheating his fighters out of money or him being sued for shady business tactics his fighters don't get paid that's while after awhile of being with him they jump ship your love for the bob father that he can do no wrong is astonishing

            In b4 the people who only started watching boxing around Floyd vs ODH.

            Say what you what you want about Arum, the man's resume speaks for itself. It wasn't until Floyd needed to paint someone the bad guy that people started running at the lip about Arum with baseless bullshh. He may not be the most truthful person on earth but out of the promoters out there he's taken care of his fighters the best.

                  OK, I will.....

                  Arum is a lying deceitful underhanded manipulator, a typical lawyer.

                  He has been terrible for boxing, and terrible for his fighters.

                  Ignorant posters trumpet his " achievements ", whilst completely downplaying the fact that somebody else given his position, would likely have achieved the same and much more.

                  Bob Arum is a piece of ****, hopefully he will be gone soon.

                  Thank you !
