    How do you see the state of boxing changing if Bob Arum dies tomorrow?

    Not that I wish the old man dead, but he is getting up there. I can only assume Todd DuBoef would be taking over the helm at TopRank. But what kind of changes do you see happening? What would you like to see happen?

    We'll see Mayweather - Pacquiao in November. Without question.

    Also, I see it doing TONS of good for boxing. TONS.

      I wouldn't wish death on anyone, I know at this point in time he's really killing the sport but he's also greatly contributed to it also. He's given us some great match ups.

        I really don't get the point of this thread.

        With that said....it would be terrible as GBP would have a monopoly on the sport and force feed us **** fights.

        Arum along with King are the two greatest promoters of all-time. Losing Arum would hurt the sport severly.

          Dont get but hurt, I dont wish death on Bob. But its a legitimate question. The point of the thread is just as you said, "repercussions" of his passing would be seen and felt throughout the sport. Now what that means? Who knows yet, but its worth speculating. But I do know alot of what happens depends on Todd's business philosophy and views.
