Arum Finds Robinson Disrepectful
Oscar De La Hoya's promoter Bob Arum says any potential bout featuring Sugar Ray Robinson which would take place during the weekend of Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo, is "disrespectful to the Mexican people."
"I see Robinson as poaching on a Mexican holiday and being disrespectful to the Mexican people."
