Skinhead white guys...Jesus. The mind boggles. For future reference, while I do subscribe to the shaven-head philosophy, I'd like to point out that there's so little white in me as to be a non-issue. Seriously- there's almost none. I'm Half-Cuban, Half-Mexican. Cubexican, as I call it. I can literally trace back my roots generation by generation and find only a handful, at best, of European ancestors. Also, how the hell can MMA not be ethnic-friendly? Every ing month now we get a new TV deal announcement of UFC going to China, or Mexico, or here or there. I mean, BJJ is one of the biggest aspects of MMA, how on earth can you say that only whites love MMA when an entire ing country is so involved in a key aspect of MMA? I try to not let this stuff phase me anymore, chalking it up to just a couple of old geezers not being able to move with the times and embrace change, instead opting to hide in ignorance and pretend like the glory days are still alive and well. But damn it all, it still pisses me the off when people disrespect this sport.

I myself could never go for the shaven head. I've gotten kind of close to it, but can't bring myself up enough courage to get rid of it all.

What I took out of that interview is that if you're an MMA fan, Bob Arum thinks you're a skinhead racist that enjoys watching MMA because you're a closet (or non-closet?) homosexual, and that's something to be ridiculed.
So for all of you MMA fans, like myself, that also enjoy watching a good boxing match now and then -- Bob Arum does not want your business, so don't bother buying tickets to his shows or purchasing his PPVs.
I dunno about you guys, but I got the message loud and clear. I know where I'm not welcome, and Arum can count on me to stay as far away from his boxing shows as humanly possible.
I will not soil his pristine pocket with money from my scummy bank account.

For fans/practicioners of Jiu Jitsu and other ground realted Martial Arts the "homosexuals rolling around on the ground" comment gets funnier everytime I hear it.
Lets see Bob Arum "roll around like a homo" on hte ground with BJ Penn...

He did atleast nail Mayweather. Mayweather runs and doesn't fight and isn't remotely entertaining.
However it seems that he hasn't ever seen a MMA event. He's also a promoter trying to dig deep for something to help boxing.
I have a full head of hair, no tats, very big MMA fan and been a boxing fan since I was probably 5. I remember watching all the Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, De La Hoya, Chavez, Jones, Morrison, and all the big names when I was growing up. I've lost interest in boxing overall, I still like watching Ricky Hatton, Manny Pacquiao, Klitschko Brothers, Kelly Pavlik, De La Hoya and several others fight.
I agree with Lawrence though, I won't be putting money into this guys pocket ever again. F him.

He bashes anyone involved with MMA thoroughly yet later in the video he compliments the promoters saying that they're good, classy guys.
