I know it's a tough one, both have ruined careers, criminally underpaid fighters, fixed fights, told millions of lies, prevented great fights, put guys on the shelf for years because they wanted to leave, I could go on and on. But ultimately who is worse and why? Who fixed/prevented more fights? I know both did a lot.
I'd like to say King because I think he fixed more fights, but he probably did more co-promotions than Arum who for years prevented lots of great fights from happening and kept it all in house. King also kept guys on the shelf for years and did lots of crazy things, Arum is also a scumbag though because he's manipulated so many people and fighters. One thing where King has the edge is a lot of his PPV's in the 90's were very good and stacked with a lot of good fighters. Look at The Bobfather's cards with Pacquiao on in recent years, let's be honest most of them have been trash. Especially the undercard fights, just plain terrible.
I'm spoiled for choice here, it's really hard, but I think i'll go with Arum.
