Bob Arum is a terrible promoter. Always gave his decent main events but the undercard fights were worse than ESPN. And after Michael Nunn beat Iran Barkley in 1989, Nunn was planning to leave Arum, so Arum insulted him as a fighter immediately after the fight on HBO saying Roberto Duran would have destroyed Michael Nunn. Just not a class act is Arum. Nunn was the fighter than night and Arum put himself ahead of the fighter. That is why I think boxers should be the promoters.
The Arce-Mijares card wasn't that bad.Originally Posted by LegendBoxing65
lol! I enjoyed watching Arce getting beat up in all 12 rounds.
I just think Arum rips people off. I never forgot how he insulted Michael Nunn on a night when Michael just beat a tough guy in Iran Barkley. Arum put himself above boxing. When a promoter does that it is time for another promoter. I am glad he has lost alot of his power as a promoter. Thank god Oscar is coming around, although I wish Oscar would not try and get all the other fighters in as promoters. Looks unprofessional. He can do it on his own.Originally Posted by Pacstraightleft
Ah well nobody remember Michael Nunn now anways since Toney turned out the lights on his career.Originally Posted by LegendBoxing65
Bob Arum has his faults all the promoters do but I can't see how you can say he's a terrible promoter. Virtually all of the most exciting fighters right now are Top Rank fighters, they have put on the best cards by far this year and he's done a terrific job in nurturing and developing his fighter's talents.
If I were an American boxer right now with talent and a bright future I'd sign with Top Rank.
well it was always in my memory who he devalued a good fighter who looked to be great at the time in favor of his promoting. I think his fighters are good but he never has them fight anyone until a big payday. He does not want to take the chance and have them lose. Now you look at Don King, his cards used to be great. He had so many fighters he did not rely on just one fighter. I think if I were a fighter I would sign with Golden Boy Promotions.Originally Posted by Bilbo
Golden Boy sucks, Ishe Smith has just split from them after only two fights and he's incredibly easy to get along withOriginally Posted by LegendBoxing65
