Bob Arum had a near monopoly on the WBA and when Don King started gaining some control in the WBA, Bob Arum jumped in bed with the new IBF and tried to help put it on the map so he could have easy access to world titles. Bob Arum is the #1 reason we ended up with three world titles.
When Don King started gaining some control in the IBF, Bob Arum jumped in bed with the new IBA and tried to help put it on the map so he could have easy access to world titles. Only when the owned of the IBA died did Bob Arum give up on trying to establish the IBA.
When Bob gave up on trying to establish the IBA, he jumped in bed with the WBO so he could have easy access to world titles. He's the #1 reason we ended up with four world titles and has had a near monopoly of the WBO ever since.
But now Al Haymon is slowly trying to sink his fingers into the WBO. WBO fights have slowly crept back onto Showtime PBC broadcasts and suddenly PBC fighters are #1 in the WBO ratings at 147 and 154 pounds, PBC's signature divisions.
If Haymon begins to wrestle away control of the WBO from Bob Arum, history teaches us that Arum will go prop up an unrecognized title and try to convince the public it's a world title so he can have easy access to world titles.
