Don King

[SEANIE]

Don King never ruined any fighter, he was just going about his business. All those fat lazy 80's heavyweights blame him, but Larry Holmes got rich working with Don.

I think the quote was: "talks black, acts white and thinks green."
I have no respect for the greedy, lying sack of sh**. IMO the sport would be better off without him.
Apparently he's still at his old trickery:

No wonder so many of his fighters are leaving him.

Fair enough, maybe i used the wrong word there but he certainly ripped off quite a lot of his fighters. Paying Ali 50grand for the Holmes fight isnt what i would call 'going about his business', thats just being a c**t. Several others have taken him to court and won, over him 'going about his business'. OK, some have got rich working with him when he had a stronghold on a lot of the titles, but thats only because if they didnt go with him then they would not have got a shot to begin with. When Witherspoon fought Bruno, his take home pay was 90grand out of a 500grand purse. Bruno got a 900grand purse and he was the challenger!!! That may be 'going about his business' but its certainly not looking after his fighters business
