First of, I admit to this thread being kind of stupid. But reallity is that King, Arum, Merchant, Lederman; All of these guys are passed his retirement age.
Who do you think is the first to go.

this almost seems like the boxing dead pool......i would like to see arum and merchant go do to there left wing old school mentalities....now granted, the old school part boxing needs, but, it also needs to evolve and incorporate the two... a nice blend of now and then to make things exciting. arum and merchant are basking in yesteryear, and thats fine, but, maybe thats a lil part of why boxing has been in the dumps of late or until late i should say....there has been alot of good things happening with boxing and Most( not all ) have been done without these two....thats just my opinion. either way all names mentioned in this thread are gonna be outsed cause the changing of the guard is happening. all we need are people( as fans ) are people who really want good match ups and care to keep this sport alive, instead of fucking everybody they can for cash....i.e. the fans and boxers.....fans and boxers are the only people who get fucked in boxing.....never promoters or t.v. stations and shit, just the people who actually invest in boxing, and give a shit....!!! it's a love hate thing going on...
Mannn...
so much said and no meaning.

i would love to see Arum go. He always bitches when he fighter looses. He talks so much shit, it makes me sick. At least when Don King talks shit, it makes me laugh.
Merchant needs to stay. The man knows his stuff and is hilarious to listen to. He also asks questions in post fight interviews that many men would not have the balls to. I love the guy, he's HBO's edge over ShoBox.
King is still bringing the big fights. Lederman, although annoying, is pretty much on the money. Later Mr. Arum. Your time has come.
I refuse to participate in this thread as Roy Jones has not been listed amongst the other assholes in this poll. :luvbed:
And just why is Roy an Asshole? Or any others?
FYI,
If it wasn't for King.. I don't think that Boxing as it exists today would be the same! Look at any other country other than US, boxing is such a minority in all of sports
I hope this aint a thread on who will die first, cuz that aint good.
No.. Just as who retires..
I think King has made his multi-mils, but he will do this shit till he dies of a heart attack.
He's still having fun! Although I do have a problem with him having too much power/leverage and control in the boxing world.
Merchant is in his prime...
In his prime, in terms of announcing or boozing??? Possibly both....
Did you guys notice that Don was flipping out on the HBO in-ring producer for trying to keep him off-camera during Lamon's interview? That was some funny $hit, I wouldn't be shocked if Don goes back to Showtime exclusively
anyhow, Arum's got 2-3 years left, Don will promote until he's 6 feet deep.... Merchant is like the handicap guy from Office Space, they probably stopped paying him a decade ago but he still shows up to work....Lederman's got nothing better goin' on so he'll stick around too
In Order.
1.) lederman---seeya
2.) Merchant---seeya
3.) Arum---who cares
4.) King---I would be pissed. I want him to stay.
