Bob Arum Has Boxer He Feels Will Steal MMA Fans Back

[Evan]

“I think Kelly Pavlik has the opportunity - if he beats Jermain Taylor convincingly - to be the biggest guy in boxing. In other words, I think that he is the type of fighter that can bring back all of the young people that we’re lost to the UFC,” says Bob Arum, who admits he’s speaking of young, white males who have recently flocked to MMA.

why is he worried about this UFC fad that peaked in 2006??

white young males(blood and guts crowd) are probably lost forever if they were ever had in the first place.

I formed a similar opinion the first time I saw Pavlik box. His style is one that any fight fan can appreciate. There's no way I'll miss his fight with JT on the 29th. If you haven't seen Pavlik fight, find a tv with HBO and watch him.

I don't think he'll steal fans from mma but he'll make some mma fans like myself pay more attention to boxing.
