Hall of Fame boxing promoter Bob Arum once famously said, “Yesterday I was lying. Today I’m telling the truth.” It was uttered nearly 40 years ago during a debate over drinks as to who the top fighters were of the day.
Arum, 84, is in Las Vegas promoting a pay-per-view bout Saturday night featuring Manny Pacquiao. But he swears he is telling the truth about Alabama coach Nick Saban having interest in being the head coach of the Giants before the organization hired Ben McAdoo last summer.
Arum confirmed a report on NorthJersey.com saying he was the one who put Saban’s representatives in touch with the Giants.
