IBF President Marian Muhammad has responded to comments made by promoter Bob Arum to a Las Vegas newspaper (see below) concerning the IBF's ordering a rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Zab Judah. "I'm sure Arum didn't think we were out of our minds when the IBF approved the fight between Judah and Mayweather. Did he think we were not credible when he fought Judah for the IBF title and 5 million plus dollars? If Bob has a problem with the directive, he could have called me out of courtesy. We've known each other for over 30 years. Instead, just like all the other cry babies in the business, he went to the press to paint the picture the way he wants it to look."
