While Bob Arum takes issue with the way Dana White does business, not every boxing promoter disagrees with the UFC president?s decision-making policies.
Shortly after UFC announced that it had inked a major network television deal, Arum made his opinion about the mixed martial arts promotion known to ESPN.com. And it wasn?t very favorable.
The signing of a network deal wasn?t what got Arum?s juices flowing, but that UFC is televising a card on Nov. 12. That?s the same night Arum has WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao defending his title against Juan Manuel Marquez on HBO pay-per-view.
?There is no competition,? Arum told ESPN.com. ?If Fox was to put on a top movie that night, it might be more competition. If Fox put on Manchester United that night, it would be more competition.?
