    A lot of competition, :yep. But who is worst?

    Give me some ideas for the poll.

    Bob Arum?
    Don King?


    I don't think GBP, Universum, Frank War*** and Sauerland need to be there but almost all of them have some issues, such as horrible mismatches with Universum and hometown decisions with GBP and Sauerland ( That I don't blame on them ) once and a while ect.

    But anyways who else should be in poll. that will be made soon.

    Eddie Hearn doesn't know the basics of how to strike a deal with world class quality opponents and thier managers etc.

    Not sure, There have been many King robberies in the last year.

    Alexander-Matthysse, Williams-Lara, Cloud-Campillo ect.

    He has some big names, Williams, Lara, Cloud, Bundrage, Agbeko. G Jones, He makes a difference.

    It's common sense to say Bob Arum and rightly so but tbh he's still getting cash from some dumb fans who pay for Top Prank fights. Dunno why they do?

    Aurum and King both seem to only want to make in-house fights, so of the bi promoters I say them.

    As promoters, they have to be rated the best of the last several decades. Their fighters have been in huge prizefights. As for who is the mos despicable? The same two!

    bob arum's given us some of the greatest fights we've ever seen, but personally keeping pac-may from happening is a huge strike against him.

    To those picking Arum, even though he's not exactly keen on making the Mayweather fight, don't forget all the great cards/events he put up.

    I used to hate Lou DiBella but I think Arum is the guy whose really messing up the sport right now. I'm so sick of all these in-house fights.
