I forgot about Artie Pulullo, he is definetly up there also. Do not forget Murad Muhamed (Pacman's former promoter, since i think I butchered the name)
The absolute WORSE promoters.

I forgot about Murad Muhammed. He is definately one of the worse. Him and Artie are both complete *******s that dont take care of their own. Not good business people at all.Comment

Don does indeed ruin fighters and their careers, thats obvious. But in some instances Don will rob a fighter for a few million while in the meantime making that fighter into a millionaire himself. Thats not always that bad. Where guys like Artie and Murad are runing fighters for loose change and then taking a large portion of that.Comment

Tom Johnson told me a story about King when he was with him. He said that first of all, before even being able to fight for the title, he had to sign with king. So Tom signs with him. He was ordered to fight at Kings traing camp for months at a time where king would charge him $7000 per day for the camp and his entourage. Im not certain about the amount but Tom was pissed about but could do nothing because he signed it. He had to sign it or he wouldnt have gotten the original title shot. Not saying that King is the best or the worst, just what I was told.........Rockin'

Bob Arum. Convicted of bribing a major boxing organiztion to fix the ratings for his fighters. Arguring that Capatillo and Margarito were" innocent" furthers my dislike for him. Not to mention keeping his fighters away from threats if it doesn't benefit him financially. Throw Murad Muhammad in there too.Comment

Arum is a slimey indvidual, that is always out for number 1. He is pretty successful at promoting fights though, so it is hard for me to call him among the worst. Also if a fighter can still benefit him, he will stick up for the fighter (Margarit, the Oscar **** thing, various Mayweather things like the James Prince situation, I think it is James Prince, the hip hop guy that used to run Mayweathers career even though he had 0 boxing experiance)

I guess with all these contender participants trying to get out of their contracts, it might be safe to say the contender people aren't to good of promoting and taking care of their own either.Comment
