Don King and Bob Arum head to head

This is actually really cool. Equally as entertaining and intriguing as the recent Buddy McGirt & Roberto Garcia segment was (although where that one featured two extremely likeable and sympathetic figures this is the exact opposite)

 

Well this could have been a great interview if it was serious.

 

Very entertaining. While they are both crooks who ripped off fighters for years and got away with it, as someone who grew up with these two as major figures in the sport, I have to admit that even though I hate everything they stand for, it makes me a little nostalgic.

 

It’s a pretty sad indictment on Oscar, jay z and haymon when we actually miss the good old days of villainous scumbags like Arum and King!

 

Should have had Eddie there. Triumvirate of Boxing.

 

i thought it was a fight lol

 

AT age 86, they are rich and do not need to cheat their fighters anymore! They can't take their money with them! It's a shame what Arum did to Pac and how King robbed Tyson............

 

Yes both 86 and still stealing money. I guess they'll be needing all that cash when they die to bribe themselves outta hell

 

2 great men, entertainment giants to which the sport will forever be indebted. Along with the Ali's Muhammad and Raymi they make up boxings Mount Rushmore.

 

Two legendary promoters that created many ATGs, thanks for the Great memories

 

They didn't cheat anyone, they made poor men who had nothing rich, very, very, rich. In fact no one outside of these 2 have carried the sport as far and have made so many people in the ring and behind the scenes rich. If it was not for King and Arum the mafia would still be running rampant throughout the sport.
Those fighters have to have some degree of responsibility for messing up their own money. Who do you want to trust?
Mike Tyson the coke head who blew threw the $300 million Don helped him make giving it away to women and the cartel?
Mayweather who gave his biggest life winnings at the time to a man named 3 Comma Joe after he left the so called thief Bob Arum?
Should we all believe Oscar the drugged up, cross dressing, accused ***** crook who was saved from a prison sentence several time s by Arum?
How about Trinidad blowing all of his Don King money on bad investments, is that Don King's fault?

 

Making bad decisions for yourself in no way excuses or mitigates ROBBING athletes.
To say someone like Don King as not a cheat is a Sick Joke.
He was a 2 time murdering sociopath who stole from & cheated even the most heroic names in the sport-Ali, Holmes, Tyson...

Made them rich? They made THEMSELVES rich through their talent.
Only in a Roman Coliseum/slavery system would guys who made so much money for many, & produced international interest-not get millions.

There is no excuse for lying, stealing manipulating guys to take the short money, making corrupt decisions & judges, paying off people like a jury that acquitted you, forcing the actual warriors to play ball or else you go nowhere...
The way he betrayed & abandoned Frazier in Jamaica is amongst numerous examples of King being...Evil.
