      Looool.

      Arum paid Amir Khan $5 million and Kell Brook $2 million to fight Crawford.

      But he'll only pay Shawn Porter $1 million. And won't give Thurman a fair deal.

      If he wants cheap fights there's always Yordenis Ugas. But guess what? He wants no part of that.

      The old man is a vile piece of crap.

        Keith should keep this attitude and supercharge it with loud WWE stunts. He sounds like a fighter now.

        To me, I say screw Arum and his BS, until Davis can fight Loma, or that diva, Lopez. How about Nakatani?

        Screw Floyd too.

          its sad that the boxing journos on youtube like radio raheem dont do full 30-60min interviews with these boxers stateside.
          ive seen more of alen babic and fabio wardley, than danny garcia, thurman, crawford and spence put together last year.

          in fact i swear ive seen more of flipping florian marku than those guys.

            I agree. And Mauricio Sulaiman can go also with his made up weight classes and bull**** belts.

                He can offer Bud a fight though, I mean Arum openly checked out on Crawford. Porter, Thurman have a powerful backer. Why are these guys always looking for other promoters to overpay them? He is here trashing Arum but he wants a deal from him? How is that going to work. If Arum is one of the worse promoter in the game as he said here (Not agreeing or disagreeing) then get your adviser/promoter/manager to make a deal. Arum already wash his hands of Bud, he openly told everyone he loses money on him.

                No point mentioning how much A and B got paid, they lost money doing those deals, and you still want him to continue over paying? I mean he last fought in July 2019. No meaningful win since 2017 ��������. Am sure they can put it on PPV on fox/showtime.

                  They did but he took a HUGE slice of the pie from them. He's the kind of promoter that preyed on the weak. Fighters that were desperate to get the big fights and he knew he could make them but at the cost of practically owning them. Since the fighter just saw those initial $$$ promised, they didn't think twice about signing the dotted line. That signing was the biggest mistake.

                  There is a documentary with the Klitschkos I remember watching where they were invited to Don King's house as he attempted to lure them into signing. They noticed he was playing the piano but it was like playing itself. They thought something was up with him at that point and said nah, we're good and left. Good thing they at least got out before he ruined them too, lol.

                    Flip the script.

                    He DID get them big fights.

                    Fast forward, you have Bob Arum throwing money away for Crawford to spark C-levels, no big fights.

                    What's worse?

                    Getting paid to spark C-levels or taking less to become a legend?

                    Because almost every fighter King promoted before 2000 became a legend, even though broke.

                    Fighters have to choose their priority.
