Bob Arum 2 day orgy

Bob Arum is like that kooky grandpa you had growing up as a child. You would never know what would come out of his mouth and you always worried he would say something so outlandish that you would just shake your head. As you got older you would realize grandpa was actually a funny dude to hang out with and his no filter approach to life was something refreshing in a world in which you have to be so hyper-sensitive in what you say or do.

I identify Bob Arum to this grandpa we all had. At every event I have covered, I know Arum will be there I look forward to it. Not because he will give me some great headline but because more or less he makes it memorable. He always says something that makes me crack up or shares a story from his young days in which he was a vigorous youth. To his credit, Arum is still going strong and displays vigor even now, promoting Top Rank fights into his eighties.
