IMO - Heavyweight boxing needs to unify. Having all these champions raises so many questions about who's best, it's divided the fans into to many groups.

With DK controlling 3 of the major belts, it can be argued that he is responsible. If he is unwilling to match his fighters against Vitali Klitschko, he should at least match them against each other and put a multi-belt champion against Klitschko.

For the sake of the division, DK can answer at least a few of those questions and bring interest back to the division. From what I can see, It's only his corrupt greed preventing it.

What do you think?

Don King has been/is screwing part of boxing. Another large part has been and is screwed by Arum. The rest has been/is screwed by the rest of their ilk. It's a gang bang!!! ;) :) And we fans get all the gooo! :eek:

and now big don is threatening to start his own boxing network and cut all ties with hbo, presumably larry merchant not letting him hog the mic the other night was the last straw.

:rolleyes:

:D You've got everything covered buddy . . . I have nothing more to say. ;)

Don King had Wlad poisoned

:rolleyes:Oh Boy!!! And, I don't think Arum will take that sitting down! Aren't we in for something! :eek:

Huh . . . really? Where did you get that piece of info? :eek:

Pso Junior, I like your avatar. It is one of the best avatars. I like to look at it. I don't know why, but I do.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings none if dk went his own way. I think it would be better for boxing if he wasn't involved. And lets hope he finds a deserted island to do it on so we won't have to listen to him and watch him ruining other boxers careers.

Their isnt no possibly way in hell don would let boxing fly on network television....Most likely he would just put on In demand ppv shows at a much lighter cost sort of like heavyweight heroes....Don is all about money and their isnt one nickel he would drop to his boxing being on free tv.

That pretty much sums it up.

Boxing has become a minority sport, because of all the **** that goes on. Sports like Tennis and Golf get more coverage than Boxing. Even when the sports news is reported, Boxing will only get a little segment, if at all.

Corruption, PPV, multiple titles, greedy boxers etc have ripped the spine out of boxing.

greedy boxers ........ have ripped the spine out of boxing.

PUHLEASE!!!!!!!
Looking at the average salaries in the four major sports makes me CRAZY!! A boxer steps in to do his job knowing full well that his health and life are on the line like in NO other competition!
And only the top 5% or LESS can command a payday that a utility in-fielder on a celler dwelling MLB team wouldn't scoff at!

:rolleyes:

lol. I hope your joking because i found that very amusing. Don King speaks enough at press conferences, Larry was just letting him have a rest for once. :p

I have said it once and I will say it again, don king needs to be killed. Someone has to assassinate this mother****er. That is the only way boxing can be saved, this mother****er cannot be involved anymore. I don't know how the FBI has not come up with some type of evidence against king to throw him in jail for a long time. If the FBI won't do it someone else should kill him.

goo..lol..yeah..and right in the eye..

anyway..yeah don sucks for boxing...hes what is keeping a VK/byrd rematch from happeneing

first the heavyweight divison need some real fighters, right now it's just full of bums,euro-trash, blown up middle and cruiser weights....i can't stand heavyweights!!

im not one for conspiracies(?) at all, but i say, no don king=no brewster suddenly dominating wlad. I know, i know. ive seen many boxers run out of steam but never like that, and ive seen wlad bring a lot more heat to mercer than he was to brewster and mercer was moving more and trying to fight back. don king is filth.

Thanks Winter, maybe because it's unique and cool. :) A sort of entertaining. Peace!

Promoters don't care what you think. There's not as much money made when there's just one champ. It's not just the heavyweight division. All but the middleweight division have numerous champions, and Bernard is the WBA Super champ and Maselino Masoe still carries a WBA belt around.

Obviously, it would be better for the sport if they were unified. But who cares about the sport when there's money to be made?

Don King never promoted Ross Purritty.

:rolleyes:
Doubters can type "Don King leaving HBO? by David Greene" into a Google search for the story.

He's been dealing with Showtime, too, with Kelvin Davis, Lamon Brewster, Kali Meehan all appearing recently. Even if he's not doing his own network, he knows that Showtime is hungry for name fighters, as is evidenced in their showing Wlad and Cory Spinks recently when their last fights had been on HBO.

your right, he didnt

your right, he didnt

So do you think the Purritty fight was legit?

yes i think the purrity fight was legit, as was the corrie sanders fight. the brewster fight though, something was just odd :confused:

Two-thirds of the planet we live in is covered by water; most of the rest, by s___t coming from the likes of Don King, Arum, Murad, Soliman... There's just so much of it, we stink all the way to UrAnus!!! :eek: :D

Edit: Note to Sonny: Seems you sent my points back, pal! ;) Well, you did promise you would. :)

Well to explain my side here . . . . I don't really hate Don King and Arum because they are earning out of the sport . . . that's fine that will always be part of any sports, there will always be a promoter . . . I'm hating them because they are leaning too much on protecting their personal interest . . . to the extent that they are already blemishing the CREDIBILITY of boxing. I hate it when two great fighters cannot settle the issue of who is the best, who is the real champion because they won't allow it... because it's not a profitable and good business decission. We have OVER HYPE PAPER CHAMPIONS as a result of career manipulations and rigged fight results instigated by these two clowns . . . and yet most people are that stupid to patronize and bite into their craps.

I'm just wondering when this is going to end.

i have, once before, w. klit vs. ross the boss purity.
damn near the exact same fight.

i saw that fight too. Wlad exhausted himself clearly, in the brewster fight, he looked sick, not tired, pale and sickly. thats all im sayin

OK. That's cool. :cool: ;)

Kings getting pissed because his piece of the pie is getting smaller and smaller all the time. Hbo, showtime, Arum, they are all taking a slice of Kings Pie, and he doesn't like it one bit. King must accept that his strangle hold on boxing is getting lesser and lesser all the time. Thats why King is throwing a fit about this last fight. He needs to realize that he doesn't represent the best boxers right now, and that will cost him some more shares of the boxing world over the next couple of years. :)

Is Don King screwing up heavyweight Boxing?

Is this a rhetorical question. Don King should be forced to get in the ring with every boxer he's ever screwed over.

Man I really thought the chinese were going to boil kings ass in hot oil when he promised them a heavyweight fight, then just like always the fight fell through. I remeber they weren't going to let him leave the country (china) untill they got properly reimbursed. I was hoping that would be tha last we would see of him. But no, he slithered his way out of it somehow. :mad:

Don King has been screwing up/manipulating the heavyweights since 1977 or 1978, so unless someone reals strong challenges him, nothing will change.

I'm just wondering when this is going to end.[/QUOTE Yep we are the ones putting money into their pockets. This is easier said than done, but if we could just not buy any Pay-per-views for a good length of time , these promoters will definitely be pressured to put on good quality fights ALL THE TIME!

I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Don King can't die fast enough for me. And if someone were to help him along, I can't say I'd give a damn.
