    2. Who has made the bigger/best fights over the years?

    3. Who has made more money/their fighters more money?

    The truth is it's so very hard to analyze. Both made superfights. Both had a lot of ATG on their promotions. As of know, Arum is at the top, but once th e heavyweights come resurging again, King will be in control.

    It's just that King has concentrated on the big boys, while Bob lived off the latin/lighterweight demographic.

    They're both giants, definitely. In my book Arum edges King out because of Arum's consistency.

    The Bobfather :hat

    Both are great promotors and always aim for the big fights.. I'd give it to Arum right now, because of his consistancy as of lately.. Arum also promotes some of boxing's biggest names such as Pacquiao, Cotto, and Pavlik.. All you hear now is Arum in the news, and it's usually him promoting the big fights..

    Today Arum is the best promoter in boxing. But King's history cannot be forgotten. He made fights that made us all fans.

    Both Arum and King are crooks, but Don King has made the bigger fights over the years, however, Arum has been doing it longer and lately he has been doing better.
