For example, Don King > Bob Arum, Felix Trinidad decision over De La Hoya.

For one thing Don King > Bob Arum maybe in the early '90s, but at this point Arum was definately top dog promoter-wise. The reason Oscar lost is he decided to fight the final few rounds trying not to lose instead of winning, I still think Oscar won the fight, but all he needed to do was keep doing what he was doing and he would have won. But hi-jack his thread with Oscar/Tito talk from '99.
You mention if the fights go to the cards, Taylor will win because DiBella is a powerful man, well Pavlik's promoter is Bob Arum. In the pecking order of promoters, Arum is ahead of DiBella. If it goes to the judges and it's a come victory either way it won't be on the promoter's pull that gets their fighter the decision. The reason their could be a deputed decision is because Taylor will control the fight with his jab and Pavlik will land the bigger punches. So it will depend on what the judges are scoring.
