    He blew through all his money by 1987.

    Then he became the second richest boxer of all time while fighting under Top Rank.

    Not sure how Arum is faulted for that one LOL

    The article flat out tells you that Foreman blew his money by 1987.

    Had he not made a business move (independent of Arum), he would've had his second career and blow through the money again.

    We seen that already during act one.

      Doubtlessly, Arum was the one who brokered the George Foreman grill deal.

      I'm sure he used his charm for hours to finally get George to agree with it.

      I'm sure he told George,

      "You need to do this. I want to make sure you're financially okay after boxing. I love you, George."

      Bob is a fuсking saint.

      Disregard everything I said about him before.

        George Foreman got the fight against Michael Moorer because of Bob Arum.

        He won the fight to become the oldest heavyweight champion of all time.

        The win against Moorer landed him the George Foreman Grill.

        So Bob Arum did have something to do with it.

          False.
          Concocted from your own imagination.

          All praise be to Bob since that's the way you'd like it to be though.

              I heard about that guy.

              His last fight was 5 years before I was even born.

              I never watched one of his fights live.

                - -U breaking out in lumps on top of lumps after repeated beatings.

                Need to grow up and drop U nads while absorbing more boxing.

                How many x they already set U back a grade?

                  I got nothing but love for you, my brother.

                  I can disagree with your point of view without getting personal.

                      Is that sarcasm I am reading?

                      I never said he doesn't like black fighters.

                      My point is that he makes more of an effort to build up fighters with lighter skin than he does fighters with black skin.

                      Fighters with lighter skin have become ppv stars with more regularity than fighters with black skin under his stable.
