Don King is the greatest promoter of all times

I think King was pardoned for the killings.

Wow King shot a guy in the back and they called it justifiable, luckiest guy to ever live, two murders and made hundreds of millions.

From a fan's perspective, it's hard not to like him because when you think about all the dream PPV cards he put together in the 90s, it's unbelievable!

Those of you who were into Boxing in the 90s would know what im talking about. Kind would often stack his cards with names such as Finito Lopez, Chavez, Sweet Pea, Terry NOrris, G-man all on the same card and against good oppositions.. How often do we get that now, if ever?

NOwadays, young guys are happy to see 2 good fights on the card. THey see 2 good fights on paper and they think it's some great PPV but it's not.. fuck that shit

King also get knocked on for robbing his fighters but i have a different view on that. Fighters never seen so much money in their lives until they met Don King.. If you are dumb enough to get robbed of your own money, then it's on you!! Smarten up and get a new accountant or something...

Fuck the Don King haters.. I bet you we'll never see another promoter like him..

Great fights can be made now but they are not due to personality clashes between mainly ODH and Arum. King would not care as long as it made the most amount of money. Think of the great fights we have lost? Manny v Pacquiau is the biggest.

Agreed

Mares vs Donaire and Mikey

Rios vs Lucas

Broner vs Crawford

Rigo vs Santa Cruz

Manny vs Golden Boy welters

Alvarado vs Danny

Greed is good it gives us the fights we want but Bob has 200 million in the bank and sees no reason to put his ego aside to make more.
