- -How long did KO last?

In September 2007, KO Magazine was acquired by Golden Boy Enterprises, along with The Ring. KO Magazine ceased publication following the acquisition.

[HOUDINI563]

I actually would agree with every outcome.

[ShoulderRoll]

I miss KO Magazine.

The Ring wasn't the same either after Oscar bought it.

[HOUDINI563]

Ring is a POS since he bought it.

I miss KO Magazine.

The Ring wasn't the same either after Oscar bought it.
