    Arum is a business man who tries to maximize profits. King is a white collar thief who stole money from tyson.

    yes, 100%.
    don king would look at how much money is to be made and he'd be hustling the fight all over the world now, king would probabley be thinking trilogy.

    The fight would have already happened by now...twice. Once in Cesars palace and the re-match in a stadium in Beijing.

    Pacquiao would be on his third year of inactivity if King was running Top Rank.

    Ask tyson how much he has in the bank. King was a con man before he was in boxing, and he's still a con man. Where is king these days? Arum is 80,000 years old and still maximizing profits and still the #1 promoter. If king was so good of a promoter where is he now? Everyone is hating on him cause of the floyd and pac thing, but without him there would be no oscar, floyd, pac, etc. All king had was tyson who he took money from him, only in america.

    Maybe Tysons lack of money has something to do with his profligate spending,having kids with numerous women, expensive divorces and being imprisoned?

    Dude, King was a thief and if he wasnt he'd be the biggest promoter right now. He had a few high profile fighters through out his promoting years and where is he now?

    [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Tyson"]Mike Tyson[/ame], the former undisputed World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, says of his former manager, "(King is) a wretched, slimy, reptilian mother****er. This is supposed to be my 'black brother' right? He's just a bad man, a real bad man. He would kill his own mother for a dollar. He's ruthless, he's deplorable, he's greedy, and he doesn't know how to love anybody."

    It wasnt just tyson it was all his fighters complaining King ripped them off. Look the man up, everyone should be glad he's slowly out of boxing.

    King would have set up a robbery win 4 Pacman so they can cash at the rematch once again ala Holyfield vs Lewis.
