help refresh my memory....when was the last time arum promoted a top black fighter? it seems to me he signs them to protect his best interests.

would u sign with him if u were black?

i remember him playing the race card for kelly pavlik stating that he was being discriminated against because he was white. the black fighters he signs seem to be after thoughts.

what does this mean for tim bradley???

Question 1: Not No, but HELL NO!!

The black fighters are afterthoughts, look how he's dissin Bradley.

Nothing at all for Brad, he doesn't care about Tim, Brad isn't a big puncher and doesn't attract the kid of crowd the Money Hungry Arum wants.

bradley is top 2 or 3 at welterweight and light welter. he is money in the bank and will not be beaten anytime soon. he has the potential to be a big star if given the right opposition. he doesn't need to be a huge puncher to accomplish this. i think some opponents that will help him shine are guys like garcia, ortiz, rios, maidana, guerrero, berto, khan and ultimately matthysse. i'd favor him over all of them except for matthysse...that's even money. problem is...with the exception of rios...all of the fighters i named are gbp fighters. arum won't roll the dice against them.

Poffy, while I agree wholeheartedly with everything you've stated here, the bottom line fact is that in order for Arum to get 100% behind a black fighter that fighter has to have skills like Floyd or punching power like Tyson with a super big mouth and libido so that Bob can market him properly.

Arum is unwilling to go all out marketing Brad like he did Pac for two reasons: he is not a big puncher, he doesn't have a huge following or opposition lined up against him/The Villian. Bradley is a supernice Christian black man without KO power and without a big mouth and he will not play the Villian in order to sell himself out either.

If Bob had Broner then you can best believe he'd be marketing him as better than Floyd and some sort of KO machine much in the same fashion as he did with Pac.

i think it's either arum just doesn't know how to market/promote black fighters because he's out of touch...or is just plain racist.

pacquiao is a super nice christian filipino without ko power or a big mouth..so was oscar....and chavez jr...etc...but it didn't stop him from promoting them.

on a side note...unless u want things to get disrespectful on the forum...stop with the poofy shit. u are basically calling me a faggot...that is the british word for faggot.

i was banned from dhb for calling simba a bacala boy (which is the filipino word for faggot) because he called me poofy. it was bullshit. i got along with u at dhb...i'd like it to stay that way here.
