            For what?

            Being a murderer, fixing judges,ripping off fighters, being a racist, intimidation?

            F*** King.

            If I believed in a Hell he would have a first class ticket.
            Since we are talking about Hell. I will play devils advocate. You can't handle a snake and get mad when the snake bites you.

            After the 70s. Everybody knew what kind of game Don King was playing. The only thing was Don used to pay people money that other people wasn't offering. It's up to the fighter's to deal with Don King and his rope a dope business practices and slave contracts. Also it's up to the fighter to get a financial manager. Don was honest with his dealings but people followed and listen to him because of greed just like Bernie Madoff. Take away his relationships with the fighters. As a fan Don King didn't rip us off. Don King put on some of the best boxing events ever. Trump included.

            Without Don King we wouldn't have alot of major fights, fighters or historical events. Do you know how many world champions came out of Don king promotions ? We will be here all day. Don King will go to hell but with an outstanding achievement award because he left a historical legacy.

            Only in America.

              Agree with your assessment of Don King. I posted earlier a comparison of Don King's promises to Livingstone Bramble and Dan Duva's actual payoffs. A fighter could make more money being ripped off by Don King than working with an honest promoter.

              But in regards to the bold above. No, I suspect most of those fights would have happened anyway, and those that wouldn't have happened, would be offset by the possible fights gained that Don King blocked.

                You mean he used to promise more money than others were paying.

                  They're both banned, so I'd imagine so. To bad it has to go this far.

                    Why do I have this feeling that someone on high (moderator) was getting bombarded with PMs and just decided to shut it down? I.e. Decided to kill everyone in the room and let God worry about.

                    That's my guess. I didn't see recently any particular post that was anymore egregious than the ones before.

                      I hadn't either. Wouldn't surprise me if it was in the lounge, but I don't know. I seldom leave this section anymore. The ratio of knowledge to flaming just isn't worth it to me.
