Bob Arum: Kelly Pavlik's win big blow to the UFC

Send News


Yes, Bob Airhead is talking again and as per usual he's saying things that are pretty stupid.

He gives some comments on what Pavlik's victory this weekend over Jermain Taylor means to the sport of boxing and as usual he misses the point.

This interview with BoxingScene.com quotes Arum as saying that Pavlik will revive boxing in the Midwest and that will take away from the fanbase of the UFC and bla bla bla bla bla.

Time will eventually prove how wrong Arum is, yes it will prove how wrong he is not whether he is right or wrong.

I'm working with no sleep so I'll just say that Sam Caplan over at FiveOuncesofPain has more and makes points I'm too tired to get in to right now.
