Bob Arum Quotations

If you think Barkley was mad before the fight, wait until he sees how many people are taking part of his purse

Sugar Ray Leonard's retirements last about as long as Elizabeth Taylor's marriages.

Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter I've ever seen

Don King sucks...Don King sucks...Don King sucks...

My matchmakers said Shane would make the most entertaining fight for the fans. For pure name recognition Shane Mosley is the best fighter for marketability.

Shane Mosley is a dangerous fighter. He is bigger than Manny, strong and he still has his speed. He has never been stopped. He can take anyone's best punch and come back as strong as ever. He's so resilient. You can't hurt him.

Nobody can count Shane Mosley out. He is a good, good fighter, especially when he fights an aggressive opponent like Manny Pacquiao.

Hopkins is talking about fighting at Yankee Stadium but that's rubbish. If he fought at Yankee Stadium, even the ushers wouldn't want to watch him. Bernard Hopkins couldn't draw breath.

I'm gonna make a ton of money on the rematch, but that decision was horrible.

Leonard and Ali made their mark on network television, the Olympics ? Ali on 'Wide World of Sports,' Sugar Ray on ABC and so forth. By the time they were ready to go for the big bucks, they were household names. In this environment, it's much tougher.
