Universum= Worst Promotional Company

[catalinul]

Nah,you can't say they are the worst when Palle or Joe DeGuardia are still active.

Besides Universum signs all european amateur stars mostly.They missed Korobov though.

Don King is the worst. Deguardia and Palle are awful too.

Fighters are wise to NOT sign with Universum, Kohl is Europe's version of Don King, although not quite as bad. He overprotects fighters, keeps others inactive if they cross him, and is often too cheap to make the big fights. Warren is another shady character IMO. Arum is smart enough to sign a lot of the best fighters and make some big fights, but he's selfish and greedy and doesn't really care about the fans and his fighters.

The better ones are K2, Main Events, Golden Boy, Goossen, Titov, and Sauerland (which may be a bit shady, but they treat their fighters well and make some excellent fight cards).

3 million people tuned in to watch valuev vs holyfield, the klitskcho brothers sell out huge stadiums fighting the tony thompsons & ray austins of the world.
