Don King Feels That "Boxing Needs Heroes"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

While Don King's enthusiasm and love for the fight game never wanes, the same cannot be said about the public. [details]

[MANGLER]

Boxing has plenty of heroes. It needs less sanctioning body bull****, cherrypicked fights, and overpriced bull**** PPVs.

King speaks the truth, like him or not.

King speaks the truth, like him or not.

True, but he can still burn in a pile of his own crap. Boxing also needs promoters who wont a$$ **** those heros, but I bet he wont step up to the plate for that one.

You speak the truth.

[gancho_al_igado]

I agree with Mr Don King, Boxing needs household names.

You're right, he won't.

[brently1979]

I have to agree with Don King (sadly). The sport needs more heroes, who when they fight and put everything and go to war.

Boxing can return

Boxing can return back to it's glory days, but there needs to be some major changes. 1st and foremost, PPV fights, have to be scrapped and thrown out of the window. You cannot have 14 to 16 PPV fights throughout the year, because the reality is they will not all sell. If you keep it to 4 to 5, it's more realistic. Anytime you have JMM vs. Casamayor, on PPV, you got problems. I would bet the fight didn't do 50,000 buys! 2nd, HBO has a monopoly for the networks, and they have too many fights, that are not competitive. Fights, they put on free HBO, to build up for a PPV telecast later down the road. There are several great fights that could happen, if we throw out all the BS, and make them happen. Example, Calzaghe vs Dawson, Margarito vs.Berto, Arroyo vs. klitschko. As a fan, we have more power than we realize, because all we have to do, is stop ordering the PPV fights, until they put the best fights together. Starting with DLH vs.Pacman. Do not order this crap. it's a money fight, and not the best fight out there! I have ordered only 1 PPV this year. Cotto/Margarito, by far the best fight of the year!
