  • Did Don King use race to turn Tyson against his former team?

    Rumor has it that Don King played on the race card to get Tyson to drop the white members of his team notably Kevin Rooney, because a Black man shouldn't be bossed around or certainly trained by a white man. Is this true?

      You obviously know nothing about Don King.

        I thought Kevin Rooney was Irish.

          Much doubt 'bossed around' was the motivation.

            - - Bit of an immature take on King who played the race card like the joker at every advantageous opportunity.

            Bill Cayton as the last surviving member of the HOF team who created the greatest juggernaut in the history of boxing was the target. Moving him out of the way allowed King to arrange **** charges against Tyson with a conviction that gave him control over his $200 mil retirement annuity that King sacked. Coming out of prison Tyson was now broke under the yoke of King and the rest sordid boxing history.

              That's some heavy accusations - race card one thing - that would be a down right scoundrel - still maybe better than the Irish.

                What do you think he used, Ezra Pound verse? King could not disregard a big tool like the race card. Blacks are open to being talked into turning on whites, and talking is what he did. It made him millions. I don't know what set of tactics a guy like Haymon employs, but he now controls the boxing monopoly.

                  If Larry Holmes decided to make a comeback to get a fight with Usyk, Fury, Wilder or AJ, would you support his comeback?

                    - - AJ cleaned Uncle Al's heavy stable like Hercules did to King Augeas stable back in the day save Deyonce who boarded with Uncle Al so they could conspire to lure Furry across the pond for an easy legacy fight.

                    Alas, poor Deyonce, we scarcely knew her...R.I.P.
