Only In America: The Life and Crimes of Don King by Jack Newfield is a fantastic read on King. I read an excerpt back in about 1997, and it was so good I had to buy the book.

Also check out A Savage Business - The Comeback and Comedown of Mike Tyson by Richard Hoffer.


Both offer a pretty good account of the Machiavellian workings of Don King.


But if it wasn't for Don King, I'd wager boxing would be in a damn sight worse off than the state it finds itself today...
