    It probably does speak to how ****ed up the pro boxing establishment is that a man as unethical and morally bankrupt as Don King was and is pretty much the only big time promoter who made the big fights and did 'right' by the fans.

    No.

    Fascinating figure, but a detestable man altogether.

    Lol. Now that's a good question, Will.
    He'll certainly get a lot of people talking about him in a *Negative *way, I've no doubts.
    But, their may be one or two story, that actually show him in a good light!
    How old is Donny now anyway??

    The only one that even comes close is Bob Arum. King is scum, double murdering scum who stole from his boxers, but he's historically relevant scum.
