Comments Thread For: Don King wins purse bid for Kubrat Pulev-Michael Hunter

If this fight even happens who wants to bet the WBA doesn't end up ordering Wardley/Huni vs Pulev/Hunter and that we end up with a 3-belt mess which will only be partly resolved when Usyk retires?

What a miracle? At 94, Don King is yet in the fight game. It’s just amazing and a gift. Entertainment wise: He provided the best cards in the latter half of the 20th century. Hands down he is arguably the greatest boxing promoter ever.

The fight won't happen... he can't recoup $1.1M.

He's obviously up to something. You've got to respect the hustle at his age.

Don is one of the greatest longest living crooked promoters alive!

I partly agree with that sentiment. To his fighters yes. He was crooked. However, to us boxing fans; No he was not. He was good for us boxing fans.

As a promoter; He was no different than any other promoter when it came to scruples and ethics. Check out Dana White.

He provided us with some of the best entertainment ever. He gave us our money’s worth with his stacked championship PPV cards.

Before Turki there was Don King. With the best fighters fighting the best fighters.

The WBA was supposed to eliminate these “regular” belts.

the last time I saw a Don King card, it looked like it was being filmed in a high school gymnasium

Just like Spinal Tap LOL

If this indeed happens and Wardley comes through against Huni then a fight against Pulev or Hunter will mean two good testing fights. He'd then be ready for a shot at the belt spring next year.

wtf is Hunter doing with his career.

Only the good die young.

Enthralling match up.

Here's hoping you didn't hold your breath waiting.
