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
Yea I read about Ali-Foreman on his wikipedia page (I dont know much before his most recent years)

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