Hilarious: Bob Arum Screams “Shut It off!” in the Middle of a Live Interview

After a successful main event for legendary Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, he has had a Zoom Interview blooper. The famous boxing promoter who, represents both Teofimo Lopez and Vasyl Lomachenko among many others, had his Zoom call hilariously interrupted. While speaking to Umar of the iFLTV YouTube channel, Arum had to stop because a song by Saweetie, an American rapper, started playing loudly in the background.

In what has been a busy week since the bout between Lopez and Lomachenko, Arum has been fairly quiet.  He has not given a lot of information on the fighters’ next moves.

Umar from iFLTV shared a snippet of the hilarious interruption on his Twitter.

The video shows Arum having to stop because the song ‘Tap in’ by Saweetie starts playing in the background. Arum then reacts by shouting, “Shut it off!”. Umar sarcastically asks, “Are you having a rave in there Bob?” To which he replies with, “I don’t know, they’re checking the sound system”.

The video then shows an annoyed Arum say, “Just hold on a second” and gets off his seat and walks to the other room. You can then hear him yell, “Hey I’m doing a zoom call. Shut the… Shut that off. Can you hear me?”. A frustrated Bob Arum then returns apologetically to continue the interview. The song continues for a few more seconds before they reduce the volume, and Arum continues with the call.
