missing the old days when Don king used to rule

agreed. He had the best card of 2010 imo w/ 3 title fights.

 

He made some important fights happen but still I hate that mofo...

 

I bet they were all WBC fights as well. The corruption between King and Suliaman was outrageous.

That said, at least 3 of these fight look legit, and Don King has put on some of the biggest fights in the last 40 years. I reckon he could whip haye/klit, and pac/may into battle quick time given the chance.

 

Don King is scum, but the dirtbag did put up some excellent PPV cards in the mid 90s. And this was back when it was easier to steal cable.

Look at these ****ing PPV cards:

Don King is crooked but he is the best in the business. He made fights happen.

:hat

 

:deal

 

King is a low down snake-in-the-grass republican. Ali hated him. Tyson hates him. BHOP hates him, and I don't much care for the snake myself. However, Bob Arum is 10 times worst, so I too am sorry to see King get old.

 

As Don said after Tyson/Holyfield I, you got yer money's worth tonight & some:yep 3 Heavyweight Title fights, (WBO) Akinwande/Zolkin, (IBF) Moorer/Bothe & (WBA) Tyson/Holyfield. I was at the MGM for the fight, always put on a great card did King. Shitbag as a human being but when it came to beating the promo drum & giving you yer $$$ worth then he's untouchable. Thee main Man indeed:deal

 

He makes fabulous fight cards, but if you want King to rule, you'll have to except more fixed fights and more fighters getting screwed

 

Don King made Salvador Sanchez and Julio Cesar Chavez into legendary superstars.

 

Don King also helped make Mike Tyson into a superstar too.

 

U have to realise that whatever don king did, he was responsible for some awesome cards and fights. He made many fighters into multi millionaires, and the people who hate him had most of their money taken away by crazy entourages.

 

That is ****ing sick!

 

Don King does no different than today's biggest promotors, but because he's affro-american and bold and beautiful people hate on him more than say Arum. Bottom line is he made great cards that we don't have today and he put the best against the best. All the fighters that signed with Don knew the deal, but did so for the fame and fortune it could bring. If they failed to hold on to it, that's their problem.
