Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum will do everything possible to influence American voters to stay away from presidential candidate Donald Trump. Arum has been very outspoken when it comes to the topic of Trump. The veteran promoter credits Trump as the inspiration for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley III undercard - which features numerous Mexican fighters on the pay-per-view.
