    ....and thats not an opinion, its a fact.

    Arum is a damn liar, he's admitted it himself. "Yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth."


    Just of late, right after the decision is announced in the Marquez-Pacquiao fight, Arum in the ring goes up to Marquez and tells him, "you got to understand this is business."
    ......thats the type of human being Bob Arum is.:-(


    A man that contstantly lies through his teeth and has no regrets is outright scum of the earth.

    Damn good point in which some people are failing to understand. King is far from being a saint and I cant stand his nappy head ass either but at least I can say that he gave the fights fans craved for at times...Cant say the same for this POS Arum.:verysad

    Are you saying Arum has never put a fight together that you wanted to see? He promoted Ali. He put together Hagler-Duran, Hagler-Hearns, Hagler-Leonard, Holyfield-Foreman. He promoted Ali, De La Hoya, Morales, Pacquiao, Chavez. King and Arum co-promoted alot of fights together with Cotto-Mayorga being the most recent.

    If you watched any of these fights and enjoyed them, you're a hypocrite then.

    Why wouldn't he get hate? He is a greedy old man, and people like him are why boxing is corrupt. The only promoter worse, is dumbass Dan Goosen. Who basically, alone sums up everything that is wrong with boxing.

    Well, since he was pretty much Floyd's (un)official promoter, why would he be hated by the morons on this site? They are programmed to hate Arum.

    Absolute bull****. Mosley was the only C level and worthless opponent Pacquiao fought.
    Go back to the beginning of the hate, and De La Hoya was supposed to kill Pac. Pac went from SFW to WW that year to fight Oscar. =Real test
    Before that Pac fought a Marquez rematch. =Real test
    David Diaz was an average champ, but a tough guy and not bad for Pac's first fight at LW. =Some risk
    Hatton and Cotto were pick-em fights, Pac was favorite after his sensational destruction of DLH, and both were ranked top 10 P4P. =Real tests
    Clottey was a big top 5 welter who'd fought many top welters and gave them all a tough close fight. =Real test
    Margarito was coming off a bad loss and suspension, but he was a tough opponent and hit Pac with alot of punches with his 17lb weight advantage and put Pac in the hospital for some days after the fight. =Some risk
    And Marquez was Pac's stylistic nightmare, even at the higher weight there was a little risk to it. =Some risk
    So in his last 9 fights he's had 5 real tests expected to give him a tough fight, 3 fights he was a big favorite but with some risk involved due to factors such as being the first fight at a weight, huge weight disadvantage, and facing a stylistic nightmare. And 1 easy fight. That's babying to you?

    People who feel Canelo Alvarez is protected say otherwise.
