    Bob Arum is only four months younger than Don.

    Equally surreal he's lived to the age he has.

    Is there any real doubt both Arum and King sold their souls to the devil for some kind of preferential treatment?

    ESPN should produce 30:30 on King and Arum, they've lived some interesting lives.
    170 years of experience between the 2.

    Don King is one of the greatest of all time. Has seen multiple generations, but he has no championship material left in his stable.

    he probably does it for fun now. he had a remarkable journey becoming so big during that time when the game was still heavily mobbed up. also the fact that he came from the streets (really came from the streets, not fake thug rubbish like fmj and the other clowns promote) and built such an empire.

    Didn't he just sign vanes martirosyan? He is another guy who if he catches someone on an off night could be a champion. Other than that, he probably won't be.

    Wait, what happened to that King promoted heavyweight... He was undefeated, beat Rossy a few years ago....? He wasn't a particularly big heavyweight, but scrappy. Forget his name now, without boxrec hopping.

    History tells you
    You should never write off don
    Even the devil admires don as said he and arum must have sold souls or they have dirt on god either way none of us are living remotely close to their lives and experiences
