Bob Arum takes shot at young boxing promoters

Boxing is a struggling sport in America, Bob Arum thinks that today’s promoters are part of the problem. The Boxing Hall of Famer praised his rival Don King, according to the USA TODAY, but also took a cheap shot at younger generation of salesman in the fight game.

“There’s never been a better salesman in boxing than Don King. I worked my tail off as a promoter because I had such a measuring stick, a bar to reach. … Contrast this to the other so-called promoters today who all they can do when they get competition is whine and complain and shriek that a promoter has their fighters fighting their own fighters instead of getting out and competing against me and Don. These guys don’t deserve to be called promoters.”
