    I hope he has gone. He helped kill the HW division.

    Leave me explain something about Don King...He may have been a thief, cheat and all around low life but the man made boxing what it is today as far as the money it generates....The man is a genius and anyone who does not see that knows nothing....king made the first hundred million and billion dollar events and laid the ground work for every promoter to come....He was smart and stole out of Tex Rickard's handbook....

    I don't like the guy and he has robbed then left broke many friends of mine in the boxing business but he knew what he was doing....He is old and rich beyond any of our expectations that is for sure and could cares less for now....

    If he was 20 years younger he would have made sure DLH got no where in the promotion business I can promise that..

    you don't have to like him but truth is truth

    As bad as he was. As arrogant, self centred, crooked, cunniving, hypocritic and as fat as he was he provided top quality Bills and undercards.

    I have always wondered why King was always chasing money when he should be a billionaire considering he started in the 1970's. Is he owned by the Mafia?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I wasn't aware that there'd ever been a billion dollar fight and I remember reading recently that King is facing money problems. It was in some court case where he couldn't show enough assets to cover guarantees he'd made in some deal and he lost the case because he couldn't come up with the guarantees.

    CC #688 to ya BG....It is just a bit of common sense if you know what I am saying....I just think people tend to forget King is going on 80yrs old he just by laws of nature have the energy he once had....

    When you see him now he wears that stupid jean jacket airbrushed with what ever flag his current fighters country comes from waving those dumb flags...almost like he is out of his mind.....But he is in there thinking " You Stupid sons a B****** the only reason any of you make a buck is because I allow it"......Like I said he is lower then the low but personal feelings do not change what is what
