Who is the last black boxer Bob Arum built up into a PPV star?

[RHETOЯIC]

...and no, it wasn't Floyd.

Bud now knows and Shakur will find out.

'bud' has the personality of a plank of wood, he'd never be a superstar. Arums not a miracle worker, i dont think his plan was 'i'm going to sign crawford and try and make sure i dont promote him well and not make money'

Nevermind Bud.

Look at what Floyd became after he left Bob.

What was stopping him from becoming that with Bob?

[RHETOЯIC]

In fact, the performances Floyd was putting on in the ring when he was younger were much more exciting than the ones he put on when he was older.


...What made it so that he couldn't be elevated?

He was much more talented than a one-handed De La Hoya, who happened to hire his dad so that he can fight like him.

So Bob is a racist? What's the direction this thread is intended on being pushed?

Bob is not a racist.
He simply comes from an era and a background where he finds it difficult to promote a black fighter and so black fighters on his stable are usually placed on the back burner and the lighter skinned fighters are made into superstars.

There's only 3 or 4 ppv stars total.

My aim in this thread is to point out something that seems to have been a trend with Top Rank boxing as of late (well, really going back to about the mid 90s).

Mayweather got big the same way Pacquiao did ... by beating De La Hoya.

Crawford needs a win over Pacquiao the way Mayweather needed one over DLH.
