    [boxing promoter] Bob Arum is one of the worst people in the western hemisphere. I don't know the eastern hemisphere very well, but I suspect he'd be one of the worst people there too, if he went.--Cus D'Amato..

    Cus D'amato on Don King & Arum:

    The late, great trainer Cus D'Amato put it this way: "I don't know this Don King guy, but I know Arum. King can't be as bad as Arum because I don't think God could make two mistakes like that."

    What fighter managed by Haymon have heard saying they've been defrauded by him?

    I swear some people hate for no reason.

    Can someone explain to me whats so bad about Arum?

    I mean the worst i have heard is that he bribed the IBF to get a fighter ranked or something and some people feel that he is responsible for pac and floyd not fight.

    I ve never heard of him flat out stealing from his fighters like King, although people act like he does.

    He didn't even assassinate two people like Don King has. Nor ruined the career of many fighters like Don King has.

    We talk about Cus D'amato like he was some genius in life. He was a boxing genius, but he was not very bright outside of that. It pains me to say that about such a great legend, but lets face it. His entire obsession was rushing Tyson to be the YOUNGEST champion instead of grooming him into a great champion. I get that he realized he didnt have long and wanted to see Tyson win. But many of the downfalls that destroyed Mike's career stemmed from Cus' stupidity in overlooking so many of his downfalls in his character.

    Arum has ruined many fighters careers as well.

    King and Arum are the same: both extremely selfish, heartless and unscrupulous.

    thats the thing though, what fighter careers did Arum ruin?

    I'm not defending him, i just litterally am ignorant on who he ruined, robbed or ripped off. The only case i can see is floyd claiming that he was under promoting and paying him but atm floyd wasn't the same star he is now so...

    King on the other hand paid Buster 50,000$ OUT OF A 1.5 MILLION AND 1.1 MILLION OUT OF 32 MILLION. that takes the cake.

    That´s because Haymon is mostly defrauding the sport instead of the fighters. The fans get defrauded.
