	Bob Arum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bob Arum (born December 8, 1931 in New York, New York), is a Harvard-educated lawyer of Jewish descent who helped the White House during President John F. Kennedy's time there.
		Arum put together super fights like Marvin Hagler vs. Roberto Duran and Hagler-Thomas Hearns, and while his wealth grew during that time, he was able to gain his boxers' trust by being an honest man who never stole money from his clients.
		Arum was on vacation when his office was raided, and the FBI originally declined to comment on the raid, but on January 9, news ran across the sports world that the FBI is investigating allegations that Top Rank was involved in fixing the rematch between De La Hoya and Shane Mosley.
