Aside from the obvious being that he is the biggest troll in the world, (a title formerly held by G.w. Bush jr.) The man is completely amoral He stole from Floyd He is currently shafting and quite likely stealing from Pacquiao (VisionQwest) He has been investigated by the FBI for fight-fixing He has been fined by the Nevada State Athletic comission for Bribery He has failed to come up with purses for fighters in the past He has admitted in court to a separate case of bribery of IBF officials It looks quite likely he has been trying to put his dick in gamboas azz over the whole Rios fight This is WITHOUT all of the video evidence of him blatantly contradicting himself on every topic known to man It's become a bit of a cliche saying that everything that Arum says is lies, but seriously, why WOULD you beleive or defend this man, ever? He is blatantly out to look after himself before anyone else and given the chance he will gladly throw Pacquiao under the bus Seriously this is a man who should NOT be given the benefit of the doubt in ANY situation. The Rios - Gamboa situation? Arums fault. Pacquiao - Mayweather? Arums fault. You don't like this post? Arums fault.
Sure does...imagine the state of boxing if it were run just by the likes of Gary "Site Fees" Shaw. Every 2nd card would be at the Chumash Casino in front of 300.
Boxing promoters are the biggest problem in boxing. If people actually stop buying PPV it will remove the power they have over the sport. Arum is just the most powerful, thus most corrupt, causing the most damage. But if you remove him the next one will be as bad. I mean Arum replaced a murderer Don King. You think Shaw or GBP will be better? You are naive if you think so. Look at Europe, they are realizing too that promoters as bad as their European and Latin American counterparts. Stop buying PPV, but that will never happen. So boxing will slowly continue to eat itself.
I agree with you 100% It's why I'm not giving Gamboa too much flack. Hearing all the news, it seems like Arum's fault
you would think will all that terrible stuff you listed no one would ever sign a contract with the devil. most promoters are full of ****. if you are around long enough you will be investigated by someone, don king had been investigated numerous times.
Because Don King is also a crook, cheat, not to mention convicted murderer :/ This isn't a case of look hard enough and you'll find dirt on anyone, it's a case of he's a certified scumbag
