[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Two men who need to leave already

Arum won't let his fighters fight anyone outside his company. Pacquiao fighting Clottey, Margarito and now washed up Mosley is a cash grabbing joke from this jackass. Don King has screwed over more boxers than anyone out there. His fighters fight maybe once or twice a year. These two greedy old fu**ers are ruining boxing.

Agreed.. Its funny though how King's "University of the ******" is NO match for Arum's Harvard Law School... King is not very bright... easy to confuse with Arum Jedi mind tricks... I really hope you all aren't buying the Mayorga Pacquiao crap... Funny thing is, King probably DOES!!!!!!!

Arum & King are 2 of boxing's biggest PARASITE SCUMBAGS that has ever existed!!! & the ONLY reason they are both working together & have talked about future plans of combining forces by continuing working together is because they are both against DeLaHoya's "Golden Boy"... These 2 SCUMBAGS have been promoting fights over 40 years(80 years of combined experience) & "Golden Boy" has ONLY been around for about 8 years & is already 1 of the most powerful promotional company's out there & Arum feels threaten & probably thinks that by joining with King he could take Golden Boy down..& the other reason Arum is working with King is because King has been out of the picture for a while & No longer poses a threat to Arum, King is not the same powerful promoter that he was in 80's, 90's & the beginning of this decade when at 1 time he had Tyson, Chavez Sr, "Finito"Lopez, Norris, Trinidad & Hopkins among other fighters in his company...During the 80's & 90's was the era when King & Lou Duva's "Main Events" had most of the best most sought after fighters on the market & the other Promoter moving around that era was Cedric Kushner..Right now King, "Main Events" & Kushner are practically unheard of & promoters like DiBella & Shaw are way above them..For the good of the sport of boxing, SCUMBAGS like King & Arum should just retire & get out of Boxing for good!!! & then take out the LEECH ALPHABET ORGANISM'S(WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO & the others) & have ONLY 1 champion per category & thing's will be PERFECT!!!

Who exactly does Golden Boy fight outside of their company? 95% of their fights are "in-house" fights. That April 9th PPV, every fight on there is an in-house fight.

Arum said Mayorga vs. Pac would be the biggest ppv in history?! What a disgrace! Shame on Pac if he goes through with that!

I agree that they they are all greedy and self serving to the detriment of the sport. The article was about King and Arum and their new friendship so my post concerned them. As short term thinkers what they are doing is great for them. However, they would make tons more in the long term if they matched their top stars against other people's top stars and made great fights. Unfortunately, it looks like someone will need to grow up or die for that to happen.
