They pick on King's corruption, but do not list Arum et al, who have all in their time, been just as corrupt.
The IBF is singled out, but the WBC also went bust due to corruption.
The MSG riot was nasty, but not a patch on what used to happen regularly in the LA Olympic Auditorium, or the hatred that started the riot at Hagler/Minter.
It seems the list is a bit cliché, with little thought put into it.
