    There was a brilliant Interview with Tyson & Done King where Tyson pissed off half way through, called Don King a ****ing scumbag and walked off set

    was brilliant :lol:

    Hmmmm, Let me see...

    He has flat out murdered not one BUT TWO people.
    he has robbed and ****ed over more fighters than anyone in the history of one of the most corrupt sports ever invented. And you have to go some ways to do that...

    (Even though he is EXCEEDNGLY wealthy and haas no real reason to rob anyone anymore?!)

    Has been and is involved in legal cases with most fighters he has ever had anything to do with... IMO, any fighter who has anything to do with him, even NOW, needs a severe talking to and showing of the light...

    The man is complete and utter scum, iv'e never met him nor do I want to, but I hate him, truly and utterly, he is 80 years old now and all I can hope is that he departs the world ignominiously and not on the grand stage like his ego must truly desires.

    He is and has been gradually losing his foothold within the sport, not being anything like the sordid powermonger that he once was. There are more and more promoters out there who can promise and actually deliver what DK claimed to and in the vast majority never did...

    Beacuse he destroyed a young person career who potentially would have been the greatest boxer ever.

    he has killed people (literally). he ****s/ed over his figthers.

    he stood over gerald mcclellan's hospital bed, looked at gerald, then looked at his trainer, and said "gerald quit like a dog," and then walked out. look that one up.

    Don King is a scumbag for the crimes he has committed. His business practices are no different than the business that go on around the world today. Most of the ideals in the world the make any money has been stolen from so poor joe blow that will not receive a penny for his Ideal. That is business in the world today, Business=Rob, Cheat and Steal.

    Plus, Larry Holmes referred to him as a "lying sack of ****" in his book. That's good enough for me to hate on him. **** Don King!!:twisted::twisted:

    That said. Arum is much worse for the sport.

    con artist, murderer, liar, thief, etc.

    but damn it the best promoter of all time- the man could sell fights- and would stack his cards usually also. he s no different to Arum in terms of his promotional ethics. One is a jew and the other is black - thats about it. i wouldnt trust either of them as my promoter , and wouldnt leave a wallet near either of them.

    as some people have said- and of course king himself-

    "Only in America" , could a killer and con artist- be applauded and have his success and accomplishments overshadow and overhaul his sins and crimes.
