Bob Arum has routinely spoken about the two-day orgy he participated in after the Thrilla in Manila with Ali and his team. Can you imagine 70s Jewish, bare-ass, big goggle glasses Bob Arum in an orgy room with a bunch of Filipino prostitutes and a bunch of Black Muslims in the sweltering heat of Manila? Ass smell? Jizz everywhere. They probably had to just pull up the carpets, bleach and repaint the whole place afterward. Couldn't get funk like that out of the carpets and drapes. 70s Bob Arum would've strangled Coppinger and then Bundini would've grabbed the reporter by the hair and took her up to the orgy suite. He's as gangster as old gangsters go.
He went off about Kate Abdo (the host woman) too. For calling for a face off even though they had supposedly agreed not to have one.
I don't think the topic hit a nerve so much as Mike Coppinger saying something incredibly rude. Framed/worded differently, Arum wouldn't have snapped.
I'll cop to that charge, Adele is rancid. The wholly irrational widespread laudation and feting of that middlingly talented (at best), squawking, insipidly maudlin and oafish product of a Croydon performing arts school is among the century's most inexplicable phenomena. Was hilarious, too. I grow weary of this recent abundance of quota women presenters invading my male sanctuary. I loved hearing Bob refer to her as "this broad" and "this woman" before following up with "**** her and **** them". Her social media post about it afterwards was the cherry on top. I get the T&A angle, that's what ring card girls were supposed to be for. These networks need to get the Abdos, Jamas and Woolhouses the hell off TV boxing and toss the eye-clawingly lame catfights that nobody asked for (and which take opportunities away from men with families to look after) while they're doing it.
