Love him or hate him, old Don did promote some great fight's,
you would see him walking into the Ring, with champ, and walking
out with one, weather he promoted both fighter's or not.
There is a man that can talk, he gave us great fight's and he is very
entertaining, far from a Saint I no but ho is.?;D
Anyone is better for Boxing right now than that P.O.S Bob Arum..we woulda had MM vs Pac 3 by now..just that most of the money would have gone in Don Kings pocket
Ive always liked Don King as a promoter..
He may have killed a man and robbed bunch of his fighters but as a promoter to the fans, he was a treat.. He really used to be a boxing fan's Santa Claus.
Take his stacked PPVs undercards in the 90s for instance.. I remember those days when he'd have big names like Finito, Terry NOrris, Chavez, and Whitaker all fight on the same card.. imagine that.
We couldnt imagine Bob doing something like that for us.. Fuck him.. he a vampire trying to suck every ounce of blood greedy bastard..
I never thought Id say this was Don King is the lesser evil imo..
Don king can make any fight happen!!
Blokes a genius and a legend!!
If Old Don was promoting, Floyd and Pac man, we would have been on there
3rd rematch by now.?
Never could say he did not get us great fight's,pity in the 80 's he did rule he
would give you more top fight's in 1 year than these lot gave you in 10year's.?;D
He is a thief and would have bled us dry like Arum has done.
King definitely had a knack for being a little out there... but gotta respect the dude. Much better than what we are left with now.
He's not better or worse than any of them.?Quote:

King is getting old, otherwise the other promoters would be quaking in their boots and fighters would be getting ripped off. Oh yes they still are, heard about Briggs only getting £25,000 out of a £750,000 bill.
Throe all the year's, some have been gangster's thieves and some just down right dishonest,Quote:

That depends on who you can handle getting ripped off out of the fighter or us.Quote:

Don King did those 2-4 world title fights on the 1 bill loads of times , i used to love watching those. I remember Frank Warren did a cracker in the UK years ago with robin reid , steve collins and naseem hamed all defending thier world titles
Signing with Don King now days is like announcing your retirement.
King has been done for years now.. Sucks that a bright young prospect like Vernon Paris signed with him.. NOw he'll be lucky to fight twice a year.. fuck!!
One of my favorite Don King events was the one called "Revenge: The Rematches"Quote:

Present promoters would make each one of those a single PPV event:rolleyes:. Sure, lots of people may dislike Don King but no promoter can match his events at the moment.
That what I am on about what a boxing card, you don't see that todayQuote:

it's about entertainment, and that's entertainment.;D
That is true he has put up the greatest match ups all on one card, no one in the history of the game has done better.
he killed two men.
Never said the guy was a Saint,just that he put on great fight's.;)Quote:
