    What I would do if I was Arum.....

    1) Create a fake set of investors. Get a few random foreign guys to play the roles.
    2) Put on the fight myself, but not tell the fighters.
    3) Refuse to work with any other promotions company as they'd easily find proof of what I'm doing.
    4) Make ******ed demands that suit my agenda, then insist that my hands are tied and it's the investors who want it that way.
    5) Give the fighters a big chunk of cash upfront, say it's the only way the investors will do it, then retain all the royalties and back-end revenue this fight will undoubtedly generate for years to come.

    I really don't understand why Arum hasn't thought of this?!?!? I guess all the years of conducting himself with honesty and integrity must be hard to shake off.

    I probably should. Unscrupulous *******s like myself can have no retort to such truth.

    He was being sarcastic. His post is exposing Arum. You should be kissing his feet after reading that.

    Arum is a disgrace to boxing, ruining it and letting business and money be above the sport itself

    You're right.... this could be a problem.... maybe I could send my ***** boy Koncz to his gym with a bunch of dudes that work in the kitchen of the local chinese. They could all have a talk with Unca Raja and see if we can get him on board :good

    Floyd and Oscar should kill Bob Arum and remake Weekend at Bernie's.

    I'd watch it.

    arum should retire in no more than 2 yrs, his legacy will be horrible for boxing but great for making money out of manipulating the sport.

    If by this you mean putting on great, competitive fights for the fans with the best ooponents he can find, regardless of how it will affect his personal wealth, I fully agree.

    I would make the biggest fights possible working with other promoters as well. Just to go out with a bang!! Then I would get the best suite of Vegas furnished with 20 hookers, some weed, cocaine...bring along DLH and Hatton bc they know how to have an entertaining party + massage everyday while getting my feet and dick licked. I would also organize illegal in-room fights to make some more cash: 1st fight would be Soto-Karass vs Wolak!!
