I don't think Arum is good for boxing and he has been around too long. He seems interested only in making fights for his own benefit rather than the fans themselves and that isn't what boxing should be about. Sure you need to make money, so have the odd fight in stable and then pitch fights against other stables. Top Rank seems to be like many American corporations. It wants a monopoly and will give you increasingly less value on its way to getting there. Competition is good for the consumer, but competition is something corporations like Top Rank don't want any of, thus they are good for those with a stake in them, but for anyone else you aren't getting the products you want.
