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..
That's the thing, King wouldn't let you. Its sign this contract right here right now or forget getting a title shot because I own all the fighters and I wont give you a shot unless you sign. King blackballed lots of guys if they didn't sign awful contracts effectively freezing them out.

I don't think theres any question hes a great promoter and a colourful character but that's not really the point when judging a mans character. When a guy like Tyson thinks a dude is a 'slimey reptilian motherfucker' you gota stand up and take notice.
