    I think King was pardoned for the killings.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Wow King shot a guy in the back and they called it justifiable, luckiest guy to ever live, two murders and made hundreds of millions.

    Fuck all to do with Deadly Don,there was much better quality fighters in the 80s and 90s.You and me could make those fights.The fights make themselves,Don is a proven thieving cunt end of story.

    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..
    If king is the devil..what does that make bob arum?

    Great fights can be made now but they are not due to personality clashes between mainly ODH and Arum. King would not care as long as it made the most amount of money. Think of the great fights we have lost? Manny v Pacquiau is the biggest.

    Agreed

    Mares vs Donaire and Mikey

    Rios vs Lucas

    Broner vs Crawford

    Rigo vs Santa Cruz

    Manny vs Golden Boy welters

    Alvarado vs Danny

    Greed is good it gives us the fights we want but Bob has 200 million in the bank and sees no reason to put his ego aside to make more.
