I think it's safe to say that DLH/PBF II is worthless. And as a fan of boxing and both fighters, it sickens me that it'll probably get made just so they can get even deeper pockets. Hopefully DLH is beat in his tune up, although I can't see Steve Forbes KOing him and we all saw what happend when Sturm beat his ass But what gets me even more than that fight is Arum's distaste for Mayweather ever since he left Top Rank. He went on the record saying that Hatton vs PBF was a mismatch, an easy win for Floyd that nobody should even watch -- and in the next breath tried to promote Cotto vs Alfonso Gomez -- a man who beat Gatti and was praised, yet Arum ripped Floyd for doing the exact same thing 2 years ago. Boxing needs more fights, less promotion from these scumbags.
Bob Arum is many things, but stupid is not one of them. You don't do what he's done without having some intelligence.
I know he's smart -- however, the way he contradicts himself , and is so eager to attack people for doing the same things, is truly dumb. And just because I'm not a pro boxer I can't have an opinion? Oh please.
He's just a hypocrite, it doesn't mean he's dumb or being dumb. He's just a lying, two-faced, hypocritical promoter. Nothing new or unique about that.
Yep. His job is to promote his fighters, not be honest. If he was always honest, he would be a bad promoter. That's all there is to it.
Gee, where was Arum's rage when the judges gave the Sturm fight to De La Hoya, or when some judges gave him the Quartey and Whitaker fights by 4 and 6 points, respectively? Tito did rather luck out versus Oscar, though.
i agree oscar lost to quartey and sturm he beat whitaker legit though.I had tito winning by a point but then again i am his dad
Arum on the Battle of the Ages " hey, I am not sayin that George Foreman is gonna win a twelve round decision, I AM PUTTING MYSELF ON THE LINE HERE, George is gonna knock out Evander Holyfield and he's gonna do it inside two rounds and it will be one of the greatest stories in boxing". Arum on the Tyson-Holyfield II outcome and on National TV " That is a felony in the State of Nevada...A Lifetime ban would be appropriate, yes, but the Commission is gonna decide and that will be a good decision whatever it will be" while Butch Lewis and Rock Newman say in his face that Don has been running the show and Mr. Arum sucking on tiny tit and that was the reason he was sayin that against Mr. Tyson. Arum on Oscar De La Hoya's debut " I am putting myself on the line that this is gonna be the greatest boxer that this country has ever seen". I don't hate Mr. Arum - I just ignore him...
