    Who do you think is the better promoter between Bob Arum and Don King? This is just for fun by the way.

    Arum is smarter IMO, King is plain stupid that its obvious to others that he is seen as a thief.

    Both are pathetic currently. DiBella and GDB are only real deals right now.

    Arum is owning him right now. But King ran boxing for a loonnnnggg time. Right now Golden Boy and Top Rank are the 2 best promotional companys to be at.

    I have to agree with this.

    Some of the biggest Matches in History were made by King - but as of lately - he hasn't really put on any really good shows.

    Arum has been doing his thing - but I wish they both go away now.

    They have both been holding back fighters from the best fights they can get - for whatever reason.

    Don't get it misunderstood, they're both crooks and both largely responsible for the state of the boxing game being relegated to PPV.

    right now arum, he really knows how to create young boxing superstars. Look at GBP who did they got? Old guys

    King however is overall more better and has more appeal than arum, and more popular promoter than arum

    Bob Arum's Top Rank are the best at developing young talent & are clearly ahead of Don King today.
    Another Top Rank boxer Juan Manuel Lopez will add to the list of world champs soon.
