    Default Don King

    When boxing fans hear "Don King" most make a frowny face and diss him but as far as boxing goes, didn't he bring us the best fights so far? I mean, I remember when he had Julio Cesar Chavez and my family and friends would order the fights. I don't remember watching a fight where I would go "Who's this guy?" One of the best fight cards that come to mind is that event called "Revenge: The Rematches" Oh man! Talk about big names in their prime! Also, doesn't he pay bring the bigger bucks? Don King's PPV events were worth the buck in my opinion.

    You know why Tim Witherspoon still needs to fight?
    Don King
    Tim still needs to make a living
    How do you tell if Don King is ripping you off?
    He handed you a contract

    It's like saying that Tyson needs to fight thanks to Don King. No, Tyson is broke because of the way he managed his money and the people who he worked with. Tyson was paid quite well and is one of the boxers who has gotten paid the most in boxing. Don King has brought us great fights but also great cards.

    Except Tim didnt
    Alot of other boxers would tell you the same tale of woe
    Don King is both a thief,and a liar of extrodinary proportions
    Me personally,Id like to know the BOXERS are getting paid for putting their life on the line,instead of the ridiculous haired one
    But thats not usually the case with a "Don King Production"

    Hhhhhmmmm so if that was true that he's not paying his fighters, still, wouldn't he be the one that has brought the best boxing events? Example: "Revenge: The Rematches", among others. Best fight cards in my opinion, too bad if he's not being fair with some of his fighters. Other promoters might be nicer but still, I don't think they bring GREAT fight cards, just the main event.

    Anyone stupid enough to enter into a contract with Don King deserves to get fleeced.

    As Joe Rogan has said, people who who are stupid enough to believe that 'Big Dick' pills would be a secret advertised only in the back pages of Hustler and therefore go out and waster their money on them, those dudes DESERVE to lose, take their stuff!

    It's ditto in boxing.

    Well, then the question would be, has any other promoter brought us BETTER fight cards than Don King?

    Don King is a crook plain and simple. He was one of MANY contributors to Tyson's downfall. The man's got hundreds of allegations of bribing the ranking organizations. I might be skeptical if it was a few, or even 10. Hell the man has killed 2 people. Each time getting his 8 figure lawyer to argue self defense each time.

    Seems like he was not fair with his fighters, true, but still, I don't see any other promoter who has delivered the kind of fight cards Don King has. We have all these other promoters who will come up with a good fight but who's in the undercard? I have not seen great fight cards since Don King.

    Yes, he seems to be unfair with some of his boxers but the point is that NOBODY has delivered the exciting fight cards he had and not beginning fighters or journeymen like most promoters do in their undercards.

    Expect Lou Dibella,and Bob Abrum,and Pretty Boy
    They arent exactly Mr and Mrs Honesty,but their better then King by far

    And I dont give a rats ass about the "card"
    I care about the fighters on it
    Their the ones who have to sweat,bleed,and sometimes die out there
    Nobody ever said,ooooooooooo honey,we have to get this pay per view,Don Kings the promoter
