Arum and King provides a unique, behind-the-scenes look at the most iconic boxing promoters in the last 100 years—two very different men with very different backgrounds who have promoted such notable superstars as Ali, De la Hoya, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Tyson, and Fury.
A fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the two most iconic boxing promoters in the last 100 years.
When it comes to boxing promoters, there are no two figures more successful than Bob Arum and Don King. Both ruled the sport at the highest level for several decades, promoting such superstars as Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, Muhammad Ali, Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather, and Tyson Fury.
In Arum and King: Six Decades of Boxing Gold, television producer and director Marty Corwin provides a unique perspective into the lives and careers of these two legends. As the only person to have been a department head for both promoters, Corwin offers fresh insight into what happens before, during, and after the fights—the dealings, the prep work, the negotiations, the mind games—and shares it all in this book for the first time. In addition, Corwin takes readers inside the complex world of broadcasting for some of boxing’s most iconic moments.
There will never be another Bob Arum or Don King. Boxing promotion has changed dramatically since both men began their careers. Today, hundreds of internet channels, streaming services, social networks, and broadcast outlets muddy the promotional waters. The inside stories featured in Arum and King therefore reveal not only the difficult, risky, and exhausting lives of boxing promoters, but also deliver a glimpse into the end of an era.
