        The greatest promoter is Floyd Money Mayweather. He is his own boss.

        Wow, greatest promoter? Where are Floyd Money Mayweather's fighters? How much did Mickey Bey make in his last fight, or any other Mayweather Promotions fighter? I guess you think more than 80 million? How about 10 million? How about 1 million? What about even 500k?


        Bob Arum has made more money off of Floyd Mayweather's name than Floyd has himself over the years, cumulatively with numerous fighters, not just Pacquiao.

          yup. As much as he was a scumbag, he put on some great fights over the years. a very high number of big fights were Don King's from mid 70s to late 90s.

            How do you rate a boxing promoter? On how much he makes for his fighter? On the quality of his stable? Or how rich he is? It should be based on the quality of the fights that he puts on. Which promoter in the last 10 years give you the best matchups that are out there? NONE! So Don King is probably the greatest! He rips off everybody but he did give the fans the fights they craved!

                    I think people don't understand how hard it is to be a promoter. Most of them fizzle out or never get really big.

                    Bob Arum is the GOAT promoter and has been doing it for longer than most people on here have been alive. And with guys like Pacquiao, Zou Shiming, Lomachenko, etc hes still going strong

                      I wrote off Arum last year but since then he has found a couple future stars with Lomacheknko, Verdejo, and Crawford. He knows his **** and he has good boxing people working for him
