I never underestimate Arum's ability to sound like an ignorant bigot.

You just made my point right there. If wins by running around the ring against the much smaller Marquez and doesnt knock him out I dont think there will be too many people left who will fall for his "self hype" and not buy his fights anymore. I dont care how good his skills are if I fall asleep during his fights, which I did when he fought Oscar. Leave that kind of shit off PPV.Quote:

That's one match. When the US faced the UK, they really got mangled, no offense to the US, most of my favorite MMA and boxers fighters come from over here but halas, in the duel US-UK, the US got steamrolled and got teach the notion of togetherness/team spirit.Quote:

I don't think that Arum was 100% spot on about MMA but he did put out a few home truths there... no doubt about it. ;D
That video was hilarious. "A bunch of homosexuals rolling around". LOL
As above that was soooooooo funny!!!

the Roy Jones of today still whips his ass, dumbass can't even do the Ali shuffle without getting pegged in the face lol
Ha ha ha. The idiot MMA/UFC fanboys on that video's comment sections thinks that Silva would kill Roy Jones in a boxing match because of the "pwnage skills Silva has"

UFC is just medicore-athletic hardass-wanna be white guys who wrestled in college, roofied girls, and have won a few bar fights. Blind aggression will win that shet 40% of the time. Blind aggression is almost as good as skill in that joke league. I put mma with golf, ping pong, and bowling. not a real sport.
every so often i get into a mma match when I drink too much. actually it's more exciting when i do it. seating room only ;D
You have never watched MMA nor do you have any idea about it apparently :)Quote:

Further stabbing home the point Bob Arum knows nothing about MMA.Quote:

How quickly he forgets Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez who trained with his former protege Oscar De La Hoya. Oscar went as so far as to call him the "Next Great". Oh how Bob Arum forgets. Bob Arum must also forget Rampage Jackson who is "black" and whom has a huge following in the US and in Japan. BJ Penn who is Hawaiian and known as one of the best p4p in his weight division that even despite being a lightweight has gone up to heavyweight and because of his jujitsu skills pulled off a few wins. Oh and Anderson Silva, who is widely considered number 1 p4p in general who also has a huge following in Japan, the US and Brazil.
So the fact Bob Arum makes such a close minded statement shows he knows absolutely nothing about MMA or its stars and is just talking out of his ass for the close minded numb nuts close minded enough to believe him :) But all would be forgotten if Bob Arum could make a quick buck off of an MMA fighter he would be praising MMA. The only reason Bob Arum talks out of his ass on these things is because he can't make money off of it currently. Let's not forget how he praises Oscar when Oscar is signed with him, and when Oscar left he had nothing but negativity. Bob Arum barks to the moon only when its green. So I barely take anything he says seriously ;) Yes Antonio Margarito got suspended because he was a Mexican Boy translation: fuck!! this suspension is gonna lose me money.... makes all the sense in the world Bob. Don't know why anyone takes anything this idiot says seriously :)
HAHAHahahaha... you said it. those days are loooong gone though my friend. If everyone had known he'd fight like a pussy after superfeatherweight, we'd never bought fights! DUH! (and you forgot the super-shot Corrales-Mayweather fight)Quote:

Floyd isn't a pussy, and when he isn't fighting somebody way bigger than him, he knows how to throw down.
P4P fighters don't have weight divisions. That's the point. Sorry, not picking on you, jsut saying.Quote:

But in all seriousness, Arum has a few valid points. There are a lot of fights won on sheer aggression. How the hell does Griffin beat Rampage? I think the whole sport is flawed because there are too many easy ways out of fights/fighting.
I guess you have to figure out what you like to see. A man without a match (mayweather), a man who always has contention (Gatti), a man who wins on luck (Griffin, Mayorga). Conditioning is really big in MMA, which I think he wrongfully takes away from them... There's so muc more I could say but Ill leave it at that.
