Finally! Rest In ****! Plz don't give me the "don't speak about about the dead" speech, he was a corrupt *******, unfortunately he will most likely be replaced by a family member as new dictator, just as it happens in N.Korea when one dictator dies. Edit: I hope Arum is next as soon as possible.
Nobody has bothered to give me one reason he's getting all the hate. Doesn't seem like he'd be that bad I guess.
i know this sounds harsh, but boxing is better off without him....and Im sure a lot of posters here at ESB agree with me on this one...None the less, RIP...
In the 80's he was caught trying to smuggle Mayan artifacts out of Mexico but got caught. Just like his later boxing days he paid off the right people and nothing ever came of it.
I can't celebrate a person's death and will not do such..............this could be another chapter in boxing, but nothing will change, too many crooks. I have to say Sulaiman's death is sad news.................... The only way boxing can get better is if the fans get together and raise Hell! Do not buy PPV fights that are a joke, for example. Protest mismatches on ESPN, HBO, Showtime, NBC, etc., and praise good fights whenever they happen. Something has to be done about the criminals in boxing, such as crooked referees, judges, boxing commissions, etc., Does anyone like the IBF, WBO, WBA better than WBC? How many bad decisions have we seen in boxing? Bad decisions seem to be getting worse. The war between networks, the war between boxing orgs., the war between promoters, etc. I guess the best fight, at this time, would br if Mayweather agrees to fight Pac, but that fight will never happen no matter what the fans want. Dream fights will become fewer and fewer in the future if nothing is done. Don't fans understand that there would be no boxing without the fans? Fans can use their money to demand the cleanup of boxing, I guess that's the only thing promoters desire. We need a Federal boxing commission and one champion in each weight division. Demand that a ranking is earned, not just given because of a boxer's promoter. I do not like snakes and I do not like promoters, come to think of it, I actually like snakes much better................it will take time, but if boxing fans could get together we could really force a change. It does not matter who your favorite fighter is, it just matters that we have clear, fair fights with honest judges................even the threat of a boycott could probably make a difference. A boxing fan org., would be strong, but everyone would have to forget about differences, just stick together and fight for what's right, using logic and always staying on focus............
Looking at this clip of Tyson Fury from a few days ago it makes things seem a bit suspicious.... http://movieclips.com/FUBTw-thinner-movie-the-curse/ Check it out from 28 seconds.
