Who worse? Don King or Bob Arum- and why?

[ykdadamaja]

Well, who is more scum than the other? King or Arum?

I have a feeling that Arum is more of an undercover scum. Most of his slimey stuff never hits the light of day because Don King has taken a reputational hit because of who he was.

To be fair, Arum has robbed just as many fighters as King has. And, what's worse with Arum- is that he blocks fights. May/Pac just to name one big one. Whereas King hasn't been able to rob Larry Holmes and a few others, while he was KNOWN the make thee fights.

To be honest, Don king was RESPONSIBLE for making the fights we REALLY wanted to see, over the last 30 years. If King wasn't involved, then it wasn't happening. And, the fights we missed, we can link them back to Arum.

So, who do you have? Larger scum? Arum or King?

Personally I cant tell the difference between my female dogs stool in the front yard from my males. Both are a coiled steaming mess.

Both are clearly amongst the highest echelon of slimeballs.. I think at present it's obviously Arum who is hurting the sport moreso, only because for whatever reason Don King doesn't really have the same kind of roster he once did. I always wondered how King was able to get to where he was though, I mean you'd listen to the guy and assume he's virtually retarded. Arum comes across like any other sort of waspy lawyer type, it's not such a mystery and for that reason I think he's a lot less endearing. Don King must have been a far harder man back in the day.

Arum. Can't stand the twat. Right now him and Suliaman are ruining boxing. Sooner the pair of 'em go the better.

[IamInuit]

That is now. Don King was sleeping with the Wbc when Bob Arum was a fart.

Don King was as bad as they come, but he's old and has less influence now.

However, Bob Arum despite his age is still very influential and he still has a very negative effect on the sport.

Although there are other shady promoters like Waldemar Kluch (Universum) and Ahmet Öner (Arena Box-Promotion), their companies are failing and on the way out. In contrast, Arum's Top Rank is thriving.

Arum all the way; He seems to hold grudges and has gotten worse with age and has stopped 1 of the biggest fights in history from happening. King would have made Pacman vs Mayweather but would have took more then his share of the purse and booted the loser when it was all over with.

[IamInuit]

King forced Holmes to fight Ali.

As far as individual acts go its no contest.

It says a lot about the odious nature of Arum that someone who killed a man, and stooped to the lows of trying to sign the conquering fighter who beat his guy, whilst still in the ring, was a breath of fresh air as far as matchmaking and his general influence in boxing goes. Bob's influence and avarice is a cancer that would rather destroy boxing than lose face, give up a cent or acknowledge anyone but his own twisted reflection.
