[Spicoli]

I think Arum had a valid point with Arreola and McCline.Think hes more or less voicing frustration as American Heavys have been slim pickings last number of years.Maybe slims a bad choice.Not a fan of JCC jr but his last fight was pretty damn exciting.

[skel1983]

I dont mind Arum, hes worth ten of Franky boy.

agree, not to sound completely negative, but the truth is American Heavies for the most part now are crap, and i think that it's due to more interest in other sports, such as football and basketball

[JazMerkin]

There is a point about how out of shame American HWs are, but his comments in general just showcase what a gigantic piece of shit, who is he to try play down Paul Williams & Winky Wright? Good on Goosen for telling it how it is

This is not in defense of Arum for I generally consider promoters as a bunch of greedy pimps... Arum criticized Goosen promoted fights and we realized he has some good points and also just being an a$$ on some points...

But to be fair, Arum has some of the best boxers around and promoted some of the great cards in recent memories... Just like this weekend's fight between Donaire-Martinez and Viloria-Solis, it's a very good card but unfortunately HBO and Shotime didn't pick it up... Arum once again, come out on his own and offer this card to the American public as a PPV priced at $24.95 using his own resources...

Sometimes he's a "disgrace" and sometimes he does some good things for boxing...

i wouldn't say he's a disgrace, just at his age he does get a bit bitter at times, you gotta remember he is the founder of one of the oldest promotion companies to still be running, and younger guys like Goosen and GBP are making a lot of noise, plus a lot of Arums biggest names have either left him or retired, or both, such as Morales, Oscar De La Hoya, and Floyd Mayweather Jr., he still puts on great cards, and knows what fans want, and gotta give him credit for going out of his way most of the times to get the biggest fights made, DLH/Pacquiao and Pacquiao/Hatton are 2 good examples
