      Look at his resume and the list of fighters and fights that he has promoted.

            Would not suprise me in the least... ditto for King. King basically is a criminal genius, I say that begrugingly... He managed to stay alive in a city that was LITERALLY a big bomb. Cleveland had arch criminals straight out of a Batman episode... And King managed to navigate between them, while they took each other out of play... with spectacular bombs exploding everywhere.

            When the Grim Reaper sees King, or Arum... He gets cold feet. Arum has already outlived at least one son who died in an accident. I only wish I could have the means, motive and opportunity, regarding either man, to have my German Sheppard mix piss on their shoes, but ot will probably never happen.

                As the greatest promoter of all time. Look at the events he has put on throughout history.

                  A slightly more ethical Don King. A brilliant marketer who became obsessed with letting fights marinate, which contributed to his inevitable decline in relevance.

                  He should be the most powerful man in boxing at this point, but he got in his own way.

                  Personally, I dislike him - because as a fan, I want fights..and Arum has stopped more fights from happening, than he's actually made.
