    5 reasons not to hate him:

    -He gave us us Cotto-Margarito
    -The PacMan-Morales trilogy
    -International prospects a chance (Korobov, Gamboa, Lopez, Viloria etc.)
    -Listens to people around him (like Freddie Roach)
    -A lot of time, money and effort put in lower divisions

    Arum does seem the least dislikable of the top promoters.

    He talks the world about his fighters when they are with him, and when they leave him, he contradicts what he previously said.

    When he feels his fighters contract is coming to an end, he becomes selfish and doesnt treat his fighters with respect " doesnt look out for them as he should" great examples Mayweather and now with Cotto...

    Hate him all you want but you cant deny that between him and DK, they have given us the FANS the best fights in the last 20 years. Now if the boxer (PBF and RJJ) weasels out of the fights because of out of the world demands we cant simply blame the promoters....Promoter's job is simply to promote the fight not negociate the fight....
