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.
      Classic scene that was

        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.
        Pretty much.

        I don't like PBC. But Arum has been lowballing PBC fighters for quite some time now.

        Fights that could've easily been made by Arum:

        Inoue-Casimero
        Inoue-Rigo
        Crawford-Porter
        Crawford-Thurman
        Crawford-Spence
        Loma-Mikey

        just to name a few

          Men should try their best not to go bald... it's a very bad look.

              When I say "try their best not to go bald" I mean they should take hair loss products.

              Don't give and embrace the bald. Do your best to try and prevent going bald.

                The only one that works (apparently) is Rogaine/Monoxidil. But (apparently) once you start that, you have to keep doing it for life. That's a lot of money just to not go bald.

                Some people really shouldn't be bald, like Triple H and HBK. Brings new meaning to the term D-head.

                But others it works, like Shaq.

                  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.
                  It's tough now with pandemic. It's also Bob just off the rails as he's gotten older. I was more so talking old school, prime Arum.

                    Thurman is funny.

                    He's also right about everything. Arum is a piece of sht, always has been. Lol

                      Thurman is a corny ass dude. He doesnt come off as funny at all to me.

                      Arum is no saint but he’s given alot to this sport and have been putting on killer fights since way back. Who the *** is Thurman?

                      This dude fights as much as Gary Russell and he isnt much of a factor imo. He couldnt even beat an old ass Pacman lol

                      Go away dude with your gay ponytail
