    138-year old boxing promoter Bob Arum lets us know how he feels.

    I'm also under the impression he thinks the internets are a series of tubes.

    Also take note at Arum's offense to Dana White's bigoted rant. Who is the pot and who is the kettle here?

    I'm not gonna lie, I kinda agree with Bob. I tried watching MMA, and for me, it IS horrible. Boxing is more of an art to me, and is a completely different discipline.

    I can see some fights fit this description, but there are a lot of skilled fighters in MMA. It really comes down to match-up styles to appreciate the art. Same as in boxing the style makes the fight.

    Top notch **** Arum is.

    Boxing is dead, Bobby boy. Get the fuck over it. Maybe if it wasn't so fucking corrupt, it would still have life.

    Skinheads, eh? Yeah, tell that to all the Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics that fight.

    Like Arum, boxing's prime time is in the past.

    Manny Pacquiao? I don't think he'll ever leave boxing. He makes waaay too much money boxing to leave it to go get ripped off by Dana White.
