    Compared to most in the sport of boxing he is a genius. Yes
    he is a very savy businessman in a blood sport. A survivor
    who is to be admired and respected by myself.
    This guy is like the gladiator keeper in the movie '' Gladiator ''
    except I am sure he would not lift a finger to save Mel
    Gibson from the roman guards.

    what do you gain for romantisizing on how smart arum is?

    do you get money? did you recruit him into harvard? Have you seen harvard? why does it matter?

    Bill Gates the College drop out Dropped out of Harvard. Is arum smarter then Gates because Arum Graduated with Honors?

    why do you call him Bobby is that a pet name you have for him? to the public the guy name is Bob

    your not smart are you? arum gets 27% of manny's purse so his income for manny's fight is proportional to manny's purse...and manny's purse will be massive if he fights floyd 27% of 40 mill isnt a joke...since arum went havard he isnt stupid enough to miss out on this! cause its his cash cows last fight

    Or come from a pretty rich family with a lineage of Harvard Grads IE BOB ARUM. Arum didnt leave Harvard Law with any honors which meant that he was at best an average student.

    Look Arum is a scumbag, and has a long history of being a scum bag. He was caught TWICE by the fed for tring to corrupt boxing TWICE yet he always throws that claim at others. The guy admitted to making bribes and tring to buy the outcome of fights. And this is the guy that you want to believe in??? This is the guy that you want as a people in the fore front of the sport???
    Only a *******:roll:

    off topic but...

    what do you think of sergio martinez now, i remember having arguments with you a while back about him being a good fighter and you claiming he is a nobody and would lose to anyone half decent.

    Arum is THE prototypical lawyer. Harvard, smart, cunning, ruthless, charming, fiscally aware, jewish.
    Yeah Harvard Law, "Not for Dummies" - its on the front door when you drive past.

    One thing I've never heard Arum called, at least with a straight face, is charming. He may be shrewd, but he's also a sleazy, manipulative liar of the highest order, and he says dumb **** on a pretty regular basis.

    the fighters stand to make 40 million each. thats after Arum takes his 27 percent. so that would be about 12 million. But the thing is- Im sure Arum has it in his 1000 page contract that he recoups this expense and that expense and even makes a profit off of it- plus im sure he has side deals with HBO that are based on PPV and other promo sales that exclude Manny. What im sayin- is I would not be surprised if when its all said and divided- that he dosent make more than Pac.
    shifty *******

    Much like Don King he is where he is in large part because he has no qualms about lying and manipulating. He will take advantage of anyone and everyone if it serves his purposes. I've never seen any indication from Arum than a loudmouthed, sleazy thug in a suit. In the promotion business (as in the legal profession) sometimes that's all that is required.
