The outspoken founder of the boxing promotion Top Rank lands at the considerable number two spot.
Having founded his organization in 1973, Arum has gone on to promote the careers of many of boxing’s most successful figures, including Oscar De La Hoya, Roberto Duran, George Foreman and current pound-for-pound kingpin Manny Pacquiao.
As seen by the video (fun starts at the 4 minute mark), Bob Arum is not particularly fond of boxing’s main competitor, MMA, but is still quite the savvy businessman.
In the 1980s, Top Rank produced such classics as Marvin Hagler vs. Tommy Hearns and Hagler vs. Leonard.
George Foreman also won the World Heavyweight Championship at 45 years of age against Michael Moorer when under Top Rank; he is the oldest boxer to ever do so.
