Related: About this forumBoxing promoter Bob Arum offers $20M for Trump-Sanders debate
Bob Arums Top Rank Promotions has offered to promote a proposed Donald Trump vs. Bernie Sanders debate, pledging to donate the proceeds, a minimum of $20 million, to charity.
Its the debate of the century between two of the top pound-for-pound politicians in the country Mr. Trump, the Republican Partys presumptive nominee and Senator Sanders, the Democratic candidate, Mr. Arum said in a press release. We have two contenders ready, willing and able to go mano a mano over the most important issues facing the United States. And I am ready to promote it.
