An interesting concept,
Considering that Arum and King are now into their 70's, it is doubtful that they will be around much longer. Looking at the bad, such as the promoter corruption, sanctioning body favoritism, and the monopolies that often prevented fights from taken place because of their personal rivalries against each other, as well as the good, King= quality PPV fights, especially years ago, ability to "get things done" and unbelievable charisma and work ethic) (Arum=The emergence of Top Rank Boxing as a closed circuit TV and PPV leader in the 80's, the launch of ESPN cable boxing, Foreman's comeback, the recognition of the Latino fan-base market as a strong boxing force) What will the future of boxing be when both promoters have retired? What impact will this have on the PPV industry? Will big fights be harder or easier to make under smaller promoter leadership?
Even more important, can the smaller scale promoter develop the boxing sense and economic sense to "make things happen" when they do not have the experience of Arum and King?
