Nine years ago, looking back on the long-running feud between Bob Arum and Don King, I wrote: "By and large, King's accomplishments were greater because he had his hooks into more fighters, promoted across a wider swath of the globe, and exerted far more sway over the heavyweight division."
I can't expunge those words; there they are, inside the covers of a book. But I wish that I hadn't written them. Here they are, both 84 years old, war horses rounding the turn into the homestretch, and Bob Arum has vaulted into an insurmountable lead over the faltering King.
Arum's stamina is amazing. This is his 50th year in boxing and he shows no signs of slowing down. His docket for this week includes a trip to Shanghai. If you want to go there from Los Angeles, you can expect to sit on an airplane for 14 hours. Then there's the hassle of clearing customs. That's no fun, but by all accounts Arum relishes the adventure Perhaps the next Manny Pacquaio is waiting on the other side.
If Bob Arum were an athlete, his specialty would be the triathlon.

Bob Arum Just Keeps on Ticking and Ticking and Ticking and Ticking
