Bob Arum interview

[the wiz]

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.

I know what I am talking about. I paid alot of money over the years on ppv to know Arum is not a good promoter.. He is good at making money for himself and getting the most out of us at the same time putting up bad cards. yeah he has to have a main event, but he always puts up terrible undercards. And that matters. Look at the Arum cards over the years and then look at the undercard. Then look at Don King cards and see the undercards. King gives you more for your money.


Come on, Arum is by far the best promoter out there. Has the most talent out there, Pac Man - Solis was an excellent card. And the Judah - Cotto card was great too. To say Bob Arum is a terrible promoter shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

I'll agree with you that King had the stronger cards than Arum. But you can't say Arum is a terrible promoter.
