great promoter but he changed the sport from prizefighting to boxing because his boxers didnt get a prize.mid 90's middleweights where ****ed anally, terry norris being th eonly successfull one to sue. don king might make an event but he is a hustler and a criminal, he will **** anybody over to get a tiny bit of paper. all to the tune of "your not a real black man if you dont sign with me", "america is the greatest place on earth" and the classic "you'll get loads of money with me" 3 things that tug at emotional heart strings of poor,black, americans. i hate him and you all should to. i'm not trying to be self apointed, holier than though but he is as bad as they all say he is
DK certainly adds a great deal of interest during pre-fight build ups. I think he's good in small doses; i.e: just the biggest events.
I thought boxing fans are supposed to only care about fights, but people in this thread are bitching about Don King's character.
I hear he is forming some type of co promotional deal with king and Cotto....and perhaps some other plan. :hey
**** that ****... Why wouldn't a black American fighter roll with Don King? When was the last time Bob Arum promoted one? **** him. I'm not condoning the things King has done... But you cant talk **** about Don, and excuse Bob Arum.
