Interesting story about how boxing works

my take on how boxing works is this, what ever is the logical match up the powers that be go the other way. until they get max dollar for what they want. promoters are like lawyers they ruin everything. it's like if you want to make a certain fight you have to become a promoter yourself because it seems like the only fights that are being made are the fights that the promoters want, not what is the right fight or the fight that the fans want. it's travashamockery! so to sum it all up it's all about lying and deceit, coupled with money and smoke and mirrors........................ and yet we pay for it, kind of shitty, actually real shitty. but boxing is my crack so i keep smoking that shit up.

here it is: http://www.forbes.com/business/global/2006/0424/042.html I posted long time ago . it a long read but a good one. kinda tell he is smart and dangerous man to deal with. Jaun Daiz should beware maybe after he gradute as a lawyer he could sue kings for all the screw he mad. have you heard what he done to the Gman. he didnt give him support and didnt pay his hospital fees something like that. He did a lot worse than that. It was a regular routine of his to promise to pay for the fighter's trainer, then after the fight list the training as an expense, usually for hundreds of thousands of dollars, charging the fighter for their own trainer. It is also on record that he used to regularly deal with the mafia in making title fights.

damn poor foreman he probably got screwed big time ..

he made foreman sign on a blank contract?!?! that what is written the the forbes. kinda smart to do that. it was with the Ali fight by the way he own part of the MGM hotel stock shares. I think some is behind this guy he is very powerful person in boxing

he made foreman sign on a blank contract?!?!

I rade in the forbes mag. the issue about don king face on. it the issue before the mayorga-dela hoya fight. i didnt belive that king made Foreman sign on a white piece of paper. he should have talked really sweat candy. as well as making mike tyson insecure and only trusting him.

Professional boxing is a cynical business, and the most cynical man of all is Don King. :ugh: It sucks, but the best ones are the ones that are cynical. This isn't the NBA where the Bobcats have no choice but to face the Spurs if that's on the schedule. Shaun George once told me that boxing is full of punks, that's the damn truth.

Actually I think the Jack Russel would be smart for that.

At a Don King presser recently, Don was going into his little monologue that jumps from subject to subject with reckless abandon and the such. Then he told a story about how you have to lie to get things moving in boxing. Back in the 70's, he was promoting Earnie Shavers, who was probably the biggest puncher in heavyweight history. Jimmy Young's promoter gave him a call looking for an opponent for the feather-fisted Philadelphian. King knew that they wouldn't risk their man against a bomber, so he had to play some trickery. He said I got Shavers, but I dunno if he's gonna be ready. He's been out drinking alot, let me call his girlfriend up and see what's going on. Keep in mind, Shavers was a gym rat who trained year round. The fight was on and Shavers blew Young out in the first. Jimmy Young had f**king horrendous management!! Who did he hire? 2 blind men and a Jack Russel Terrior?
