    Don King made a lot of great fights possible, I know he's very disliked but he is the best promoter in the world...

      Yea Don King has produced alot of great fights, but I think Golden Boy Promotions has alot of potential for the coming years.

        Hate him or love him DK is the best. He may screw his fighters, but he does make the best match ups.

            Yeah Don King has been around for a long time and been very good, but I think Golden Boy will start to get a lot of the good fighters and be the best in years to come

                Golden Boy. Just look at the stable its insane. Look at the partners. its the greatest power house boxing has ever seen most likely. if he can pick up a couple of decent heavies that would help his cause even more. He supposidly has sultan.

                  Yeah DK made a lot of great fights because he use to have a monopoly of great fighters. His influence and power couple that with a good promotional gimmick and walla! We have a great fight. lol But there are also a lot of fights that didn't happen and won't happen because of him.

                  Bottom line is he ****i'n practically dictates and wants things to happen based on what will give him more money and control over the belt holders.

                  **** DK and Arum!

                    Depends who you're ask

                    Lets say Don King..
                    I'd say he's got his ups and downs for public, but horrible for boxers - Just my opinion

                    + He stages crazy fights.. most are not PPV
                    - He will hold on to those abs fighter belts until his graves. Very ati-unification

                    DLH - Great person.. greater fighter, horrible as a promoter.
                    He is changing his name from Golden boy to PPV King. Every f'ing fight is a PPV event and his undercards suck!
