    Don is no beter or no worse then most big promoters when it comes to the way he treats/treated his fighters....Don just had bigger stars, and he had bigger ideas then most...The man made boxing the money machine it has become, there was not such thing as million dollar paydays with double digits before Don.....The man brought promotion to a whole new level and contrary to popular belief he is a hard worker....Most promoters today have a huge staff of people doing all the leg work...Don still at his age is hands on everything....

    To understand exactly how good King is as a promoter for those who don't know the behind the scenes workings of Ali/Foreman do some reasearch.....No one but Don could have pulled that off

    As for his past aside from boxing yeah he was shady, he was an enforcer but I can name a 100 guys who have done worse


    Love King or Hate King you have to respect what the man does/has done....Don went beyond the biggest player in the game he invented the game

    Looks like he's had his ups and down in life
