Ever since Harry Reid retired Arum lost ALOT OF CLOUT AND BACKING while White picked up a metric ton with Trump becoming president.

Originally posted by Oldskoolg View PostTrue story....in the US Army we train(ed) in what’s called Modern Army Combatives which is heavily influenced on what civilians will call “mma”....when I retired from the Army, I joined an mma gym in north Houston called Team Tooke and was apart of their mma team. A black belt in Bjj was the lead instructor for the team on grappling and he has a pro record in mma. One day at a fight card in Humble, Tx, a shouting match ensued between him and someone who had been on our time who was no more than a white belt in BJJ and never had any fights in boxing, kickboxing, thai boxing, sanshou, savate, KF, TKD, etc etc etc. Out of nowhere while they were in each other’s faces, the novice threw a punch and flatted the “professor”....breaking his jaw, cutting him inside his mouth drawing blood, and knocking him out for several minutes before being arrested by the local police.
The moral of the story is be careful elevating people in mma as some sort of unbeatable superman. They can be knocked out like anyone else, Mercer proved that against Sylvia. You never know what someone’s true experience is, or what they have been trained to do. I can tell you that there is a segment of MAC that concentrated on the use of knives and hand held sticks based on kali-escrima. Many boxers come from backgrounds where they actually have trained in and practised kickboxing, wrestling, TKD, etc, some come from the Army, Marines etc and have training where the object is to kill you rather than make you tap out. boxers are in boxing because of the money, boxing is a poor man’s sport, mma in the USA is a rich suburbanite sport. Rarely do you see an mma gym in 5th Ward, Southpark, Acres Homes, Northshore, Homestead, Denver Harbour, etc. But you will find them in the burbs, where I live, where I paid 8 times more then I did when I was a member of a boxing gym ad an amateur.

Wooo Dana triggered someone in to saying this BS LOL!

At this point..........
I hope DAZN buys out Top Rank.
Dana is 100% right on this. There is a reason why all of Arum's cash cows end up leaving him.

A lot of people are young guns that didn't follow or watch all the big events Arum put on throughout his career promoting. The dude is a promoter legend. He's nearly 90 yrs old and still doing it. If he decides to sell, who can blame him? The man has been WORKING through retirement. I'm not sure how many people on this forum actually work, but do you think you'll be working after retirement age even if you are financially set for life? HIGHLY doubtful...
You can learn a thing or two from the Bob father, whether you like him or hate him. He WORKS.

Dana White vs Bob Arum, make it happen.
I hope for goodness this event is going to be success and at the same time, nobody get sick after the event. Always the safety and health is number one priority.
Let's see If Dana White can pull this off with zero issue. If this happen, our boxing hope grow more to make boxing cards.
