      Let 'em know.

      Whoever can't acknowledge the facts are just refusing to do so because they know it can open up a can of worms.

        Bob Arum promoted Floyd Mayweather and George Foreman who are the two richest boxers in history.

        Both are black.

        Congratulations on the ******est thread of all time.

          Again, Arum did not build up Floyd into a PPV star.

          He built him up to be in De La Hoya's shadow.

          You mentioning George Foreman, who's last fight was in 1997, proves my point.

          Look at how many other blacks the guy has had in his stable since then.

          Look at how they don't become stars as regularly as their lighter skin stablemates.

            Arum didn’t build Mayweather into a pay per view star?

            36 of his 50 fights came under top rank.

            He was the number two pound for pound fighter before he left.

            He had two highly successful pay per views before he left top rank.

            You’re just wrong. Sorry.

              That's not what household name means son.

              You probably shouldn't use an expression you don't know the meaning of.

              also you are lying.

                Okay. Thanks for the advice.

                No lie, he is known in the households in Florida.

                Are you in Florida?

                  No need to apologize, sir.
                  I still maintain my position.

                  Also, do you concede on your point about Foreman?

                    What would I concede?

                    Foreman the second richest boxer of all time. He’s black. Bob Arum promoted him.

                      Some people are so grateful for pennies, they never make dollars.


                      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.
