Unedited transcript of the past week for Blowhard Bob Arum, nearly 80 years old and an early adapter to new technology, as he tweeted his way from Las Vegas to New York and back again and then on to Manila. Yet another Examiner.com Boxing Hardly Exclusive, Tweets!
At home, watched crappy HBO show, Winky and Williams, nobody cares, two black guys who can?t draw flies. 8:45 P.M. April 11.
Having bagels and lox, breakfast. Did I mention that HBO also had 2 Goodyear blimps, Arreola and McCline, pure garbage. 10:30 A.M. April 12.
Told flack Samuels, let?s rip HBO and jerk Goossen. Loved Lampley referring to McCline?s jelly belly. Heavyweights really suck. 2:15 P.M. April 12.
Michael Marley wrote I paid medical bills for Chicanito Hernandez. Who told him? I?ll have to hide my horns. 9:45 A.M. April 13.
Todd , I landed in NYC. Cotto presser tomorrow. Hope brick-tossing uncle doesn?t show up. Could be ugly. 3:52 P.M. April 13.
Uncle no show, Miguel fired his stupid ass. I put blast on him. He couldn?t train a flea. Scribes ate it up. 3:15 P.M. April 14.
Slow witted Goossen will return fire. We label him Al Haymon?s Cabana Boy. They gave away Mandalay Bay tickets. 5:30 P.M. April 14.
Oscar quit. Blasted him as better attraction than fighter. ?Big Jew from Harvard? always gets even. Such a shmuck! 7:15 P.M. April 14.
Todd, I boarding Jet Blue to Vegas. Clottey is nut job. Maybe a double knockout June 13 is best. 8:10 P.M. April 14.
Sudden thought: I?m way too old for this aggravation. I should?ve taken up golf. What the hell does Don King do these days, he?s invisible. 9:15 a.m. A.M. April 15.
Tax due date, you think Money Must Pay Mayweather cares? Another shmuck I spoiled! I create monsters, 12:30 P.M. April 15.
Goossen gets on my nerves. He?s Butch Lewis minus the brains, Akbar Muhammad without the very well faked sincerity. 1:35 P.M. April 16.
Told Filpino writer Joaquin Henson Hatton?s a bum who Manny destroys. They?re so na?ve. I?m Great White Father. 2:40 P.M. April 16.
Goose ripped me for Pavlik-Mora and Chavez Jr-dug up corpses. Dan should go back to selling office products, being Mr. T?s Cabana Boy. 4:45 P.M. April 16.
I pity the fool, Goossen. Good one, Give it to Dan Rafael. Goose can?t shine my shoes but he would. 7:15 P.M. April 16.
Zonked from Manila flight.. Wish I had Maui Zowie like back in the day, haha. I lit up lotsa trees! 2:45 P.M. April 17.
Threw out trial ballon, Cotto-Pacman in November. Hope Clottey doesn?t ruin script. Stupid fight for Manny, I know. 7:45 P.M. April 17.
Scary thought, could I get stalkers from Twitter? Get me another Mai Tai, Todd. 9:45 P.M. April 17.
I?ll net mere peanuts on Pacquiao-Hatton, maybe Manny will believe that crap, haha. Twitter is neat. 11 P.M. April 17.
They idolize me over here like Manny. Hear President GMA wants 1on1 with me as to world political situation. 11:58 P.M. April 17.
Later, Tweeps. 9 Mai-Tais taking effect. Uncle Bob KO?d in 9. Mabuhay to all. 12:05 A.M. April 18.
