    Arum protects better his fighters than King.

    For the fans, it was Don King. No question. Both were bad people. Arum was every bit as much of a scumbag as King was a criminal.

    The King was a good friend to us a cruel slaver to his fighters.

    They were both good. King was better as far as money. You got more for what you paid for.
