At 85 years old, veteran promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank - who is closing in on his 50th year in the business - still has the same energy and enthusiasm for the job as he had in years past.

Respect to Arum, 50 years in the business is a long time. Arum's done a great job of adapting to the times and of building up very relevant fighters at all stages of his career. Looking forward to see what he has for us down the line.

Keep stylin on them, Bob. They can't take it. TR till the day you D-I-E and thats no L-I-E. They gon have to drive you over with a bulldozer to get you off that building.

I have attended countless fights since Sept 99', De La Hoya Vs Trinidad. That being said, Bob Arum to ME is the best promoter out there. He's adjusted to the times, promoted damn near every legendary bout and every event is smooth and well organized. I must say though, not to bring up PBF and Mayweather Promotions. But when I attended the May Pac fight, it was totally unorganized... From the Opening press conference speech to the event itself, Leonard Ellerbe failed miserably with organizing for this massive event. He is clearly a NOVICE Promoter who was handling something BOB can do in his sleep. I mean do you remember when tickets went on sale? Super last minute....When Bob went on the Podium, his speech was smooth and you could tell he was totally out of the picture in terms control of the event. Obviously Arum is a Harvard Grad where as Leonard graduated from Mayweather Hustle University..So its comparing apples to oranges...Also, for god sakes, the richest fight ever hosted by Mayweather Promotions didn't even have a Freakin Jumbotron... Almost every Top Rank Fight has a jumbo ton for all their fighters compared to the monster May Pac was. Long Live Top Rank, they've made me a happy customer. Keep Em coming Bob. TOP RANK KNOCK OUT GIRLS THO!

Beside a few of Bobs bar mitzvah buddies I think most would agree he is a slimeball.

Agreed Ellerbe's opening speech was fcking horrible

I thought Bob's speech came off very classy as well as charismatic

There was no Jumbotron..?!

The FCK?!
