Don King might just Give Boxing a huge boost!!!

[Boxerdog]

Don is gonna run into all kinds of problems trying to sell this to advertisers..........timing is everything with ideas and his timing is terrible. The political climate is bad for boxing right now, HIS reputation is not gonna win over many ad execs and HBO is a MONSTER to try and compete with (and they don't depend on ads). How many people are gonna subscribe to a network that may fold up shop next week and is run by a convicted felon?
I know that I will certainly be quick to give his crew my credit card info!

Largely spurred by his dissatisfaction with HBO's handling of boxing . . .

King has long feuded with HBO, particularly boxing analyst Larry Merchant.



Yeah right DK is not happy with HBO because the outfit is only serving and protecting it's own interest. DK cannot get his way over HBO. . . he can't manipulate it the way he wants it . . . the way he could rake money and dupe the public

He is putting up his own network? Fine! That'sgoing to be entertaining . . . but don't expect true fight results

[joeboxer]

I think that it would be tight. Pay per views wouldn't have to cost so much because they could run the re-runs for free on Boxing TV. Have you seen D K's **** get re-run on fox sports net? It would be cool like ESPN Classic plus all the bran new ****.

[joeboxer]

Plus Boxing doesn't have a season, so if the golf channel can make it the boxing channel sure as **** can

[joeboxer]

Don King should set it up, then die and let Don Trump run that ****!!!

[Slipx]

Hopefully the channel gets released, I have DTV and would love a channel dedicated to boxing like that. There's alot about King I don't know, so I'm not going to judge him regardless if the show fails or succeeds.

Dream

how would u like that guys/girls???

24HOUR boxing/martial arts channel. Is that like a dream come true or what???

**** yeah
imagine boxing 24/7

[DiegoFuego]

indentured servant? hahahahhaa, Don King rules all

[bonafuwa]

The idea of a 24/7 boxing channel sounds great, but believe me, the fights will be more ballroom boxing/thunderbox than real championship boxing.

[TheFairPole]

It sounds like a great idea but... Did anyone see Thunderbox? OK then! Keep the hip-hop bull**** out of boxing!
