this guy is a joke… he talks shit on the UFC and then talks about how he using the UFC promotion techniques to promote boxing now… i wonder if he’s too old to even realize what he’s saying.

did you smoke your breakfast? playing music is not going to help boxing. boxing is dead face it. mma is for skin headeds. wow plays the race card.

Poor arum, guy is getting more and more senile as the days go by. There really aren’t that many great super fights left in boxing, and he’s just scared MMA is gonna be taking the fight scene over within the next few years. I have nothing against boxing and have been an avid boxing and kickboxing fan, but the shady promotions and lack of super fights is leading to its downfall.

Using the term skinhead is a mistake. I absolutely love mma and not because most of the fighters are white. So of the most exciting up and comers are black and I want to see every fight. Johnson, Jones, Rogers to name a few. I also love K-1 and most of the top level fighters aren’t white. My favorite fighter to watch win or lose is manheof because you know you will get a fight. His argument doesn’t make any sense because football is by far the biggest sport in the US and the league is very high proportionally black. What is one of the biggest changes is people don’t see being able to box making you the toughest man on the planet anymore. There also has been no rocky epics really in this generation like during the 80’s and early 90’s to promote boxing like in earlier generations. Blame the gracies for ruining boxing

what a putz. so by arum making this ignorant statement that MMA is after the white ’skinhead’ demographic, he’s leaving himself open to critcs who would say ignorantly in return ‘oh, so boxing is prejudice and targeting the black and latin demographic’, which would be a b*tch for him do defend cause as he said himself “..they dont see themselves” in boxing. and theyre arent ONLY white fighters in MMA arum. youre damn ignorant

boxing people who defend the sport in this manner that arum and floyd mayweather do are just hating on MMA cause its taken the spotlight off of boxing as the one and only premiere fight sport in the world.

and tho MMA is not generating the money that boxing, nfl, mlb, nba does, its fan base is growing faster than any major sport.there are more young atheltes around the world getting caught up in MMA and training to be mma fighters in the future. here in Hawaii where football was all the craze for many years, MMA has infected everyone and now dwarfs football.

listen up mr. arum and mayweather jr. and take a lesson fools..

boxers will go on to be boxers the same way the nfl will be there for football players.. duh

many boxers will turn to mma
many wrestlers will turn to mma
many judo students will turn to mma
many karate, kickboxing, muay thai and jiu jitsu fighters will continue to walk the way of MMA.
MMA has opened the doors for more many to take up a new dream in the future than sport of boxing will.

Hey guys, let’s all allow the guy to talk and get whatever he has in his system out.

He is merely a man that is just way behind the times. I’m not saying he’s too old, he’s just old fashioned. And if not old fashioned, then just a little narrow minded.

It sounds like his production company just found out how to use the “internet”. Okay, they’re just a little behind the times, let’s let them be.

Most of us here know the truth about these sports i.e. they’re both viable and clearly different disciplines like apples and oranges.

If Ariel can keep his cool, so can we.

Thanks Bruno for keeping us informed.

One could just as easily claim that boxing is full of ghetto thugs, drug dealers and gang members.

This imbecile has nothing but sweeping generalizations and stereotypes.

His argument holds NO water its nothing but fallacies.

The corrupt greedy boxing promoters are desperate.

Well apparently I’m a Black, Caucasian, homo, skinhead… my mother would be proud.
