Is Arum the best kingmaker in the sport?

[lparm]

Look at the superstars he's helped make through careful early match making and great marketing.

Arum made dlh a star, Floyd a star, MAB, Jmm and morales all stars.

Is there anyone else in boxing recently that has helped make so many superstars?

He was but not both him and Vince McMahon are out of touch, They need to retire

Ali, JCC, DLH, Mayweather, Pacquiao

Lol he didn't make Ali.

[JaYDeuce11]

lol Nah he didn't Ali was a self-made promotion much like Mayweather these days but he has promoted the most marketable fighters though either early/late in their careers

I'll always remember going to the Bradley/Pacquiao press conference in NYC, and crowd booed Arum outta the building but Arum said "I'm stiiiiiiill heeeere" lmao

Barrera was promoted by Forum boxing and then Golden Boy. He had nothing to do with Arum until the last two fights of his career.

Ali, JCC,

No in both cases.

Arum has the best track record of pushing a young guy into a star..

oscar, floyd, pavlik, Chavez Jr, Manny, Morales, Donaire, Rigo, Rios to some extent

Also handled the Foreman comeback, Superfights of the 80's,

Has had some mistakes like gamboa-lopez marinade, letting floyd buy himself out, not making the floyd-manny etc

But he does have the best record of any promoter, but is slipping to GBP

But these were all good fighters now Golden Boy can take a bum and make him seem like the man for a couple years lol

This is true. GBP right now has a lot of fighters that you could consider stars, relatively. They don't seem to become as big as the guys in Arum's stable.

Arum's guys even get compensated better. Donaire has reach the $1 million mark. Mares got about 300K in his last fight. Rios is not complaining. Alvarado wants more of Top Rank. Bradley got $5 million in the Pac fight...
