Why thank Trump he did nothing!

[GhostofDempsey]

Couldn't agree more about Don King -- in regards to fighters complaining about Trump, try Bobbie Czyz.

But that promotional ad sticks in my craw, does the man's narcissism know no bounds? I can't get pass it, the HW Champion should be thanking no one!

Well, it's common knowledge Trump is a narcissist. No argument there. Just about all celebrities are to some degree, and politicians too. It comes with the territory. I try to see things for the greater good, I think he did alright by boxing. The worst we can say is that he bought himself some publicity through boxing, but at least he gave something in return.

Thanks for everything, Trump.

[Rockin']

Thanks for everything, Trump.

I second that!

With the grimy past of our sport, the thread starter wants to throw **** on Trump?.... Rockin'

I'm surprised he still even likes boxing, since Trump's a fan

Trump's not a fan of anything except Trump!

Yea!

Ever try to make up a list of them

Bill Brady
Tex Richard
Uncle Mike Jacobs
Frankie Carbo
Bob Arum
Don King
Bruce Lewis

. . . a list filled with 'real nice' people.

Know of any other names?

Is there a current title holder for 'that guy' who controls boxing?

But without them the fights don't happen.

But you don't make the HW Champion of the World thank you! Only someone like Donald Trump and his minions except that.

Well, Trump was never a manager and certainly not involved deep enough to be compared to Don King, PBC or Bob Arum. He simply cut deals with promoters to get the fights held at his casino. Like I said, he paid for the publicity, for him it was a worthy investment that paid off. No fighters were exploited by him or ripped off. In fact they made money.

[Rip Chudd]

No, no, no that wasn't a legit answer -- he did nothing for boxing -- New Jersey is not boxing. But just like all Trumpers you didn't give an answer you just played the victim

Played the victim? Bro he gave you a straight answer and you chose to ignore it. You said he had nothing to do with that fight when it was at Trump's place, Tyson quoted as saying Trump paid him 11 million. Then say he didn't do anything for boxing when GhostofDempsey posted an article that says otherwise from people that were actually involved

Lay off the crack pipe.

So you think Heavyweight Champions, shouldn't thank President Trump, without Trump they wouldn't even been known. I'll thank President Trump for you, because without him this would not be America. God Bless America.

No, no, no -- did you read the OP and watch the video? -- No President involved. -- Quick with an opinion but little effort to understand the statement!
