Leave me explain something about Don King...He may have been a thief, cheat and all around low life but the man made boxing what it is today as far as the money it generates....The man is a genius and anyone who does not see that knows nothing....king made the first hundred million and billion dollar events and laid the ground work for every promoter to come....He was smart and stole out of Tex Rickard's handbook....
I don't like the guy and he has robbed then left broke many friends of mine in the boxing business but he knew what he was doing....He is old and rich beyond any of our expectations that is for sure and could cares less for now....
If he was 20 years younger he would have made sure DLH got no where in the promotion business I can promise that..
you don't have to like him but truth is truth
As bad as he was. As arrogant, self centred, crooked, cunniving, hypocritic and as fat as he was he provided top quality Bills and undercards.
I have always wondered why King was always chasing money when he should be a billionaire considering he started in the 1970's. Is he owned by the Mafia?
King has more money then the national debt i assure you....When someone's whole life is nothing about money it consumes them..there is never enoughQuote:
