    Freeman: Arum's uppercut at MMA undercuts boxing
    View quote in context »
    During a publicity junket for the upcoming Floyd Mayweather fight, Arum went all Jimmy the Greek on fans of mixed martial arts. "For me, I look at the UFC audience and the boxing audience as being two different audiences entirely ... Our audience in boxing is ethnic. Hispanic, Filipino, Puerto Rican, Mexican and the hardcore boxing fan who can't watch ... like me ... can't watch UFC. UFC are (sic) a bunch of skinhead white guys watching people in the ring who also look like skinhead white guys." Bob Arum should be more worried about just promoting his brand instead of throwing punches at MMA and its fans. Full Article at CBS Sports

Freeman: Arum's uppercut at MMA undercuts boxing
  1. For me, and people like me, [MMA] is not something they ever care to see ... They've watched it. It's horrible. Guys rolling around like homosexuals on the ground. It is not a sport that shows great, great talent.
