If you want to know all about Kings corrpution read Only In America: THe Life and Crimes of Don King, it exposes all that stuff and more. King and Floyd together will be a disaster I figured FLoyd would have more sense than that.

...maybe because your face is startlingly ugly...

At least he has the heart to put up an avy lol... You won't dare put your pic in your avy lol...

First time you hear of this huh? It's been common knowledge that he is a scum bag for many many years. Everyone knew he killed two people, from what I remeber reading, the first one was self-defense, the second not (although the first one could have been bull**** as well).

That's why no self-respecting boxer should do business him. That's why the Klitschkos have never allowed him to get options on them, which pisses him off to no end.

There hasn't been a big-name boxer who hasn't had a contract dispute that worked with him to my knowledge. If you all can think of one, name one.

him and evander never got into eat

this........

You won't put your face in your avy either lol...

[Frank Ducketts]

You don't want me to get into talking about Bob Arum lol... Don't get me started lol. "Yeah but Nal, Arum never had anyone killed" lol...

[WladIsTheChamp]

remember how tyson said in that recent movie how king would tell him about how the white man would take advantage of black men and cant ever be trusted

that plays right into floyds inferiority complex, king is a weird individual but a mastermind of manipulation

Floyd has a race chip on his shoulder, he doesn't realize that he is hated on because of his attitude and personality he shows to the cameras (throwing money at the camera and yelling "my **** is paid for" when your @ss is getting forclosed on by the IRS and your Bentley is getting repoed), not because of his color. People love black athletes who are on the up-and-up; Jordan and Tiger (before the sex scandal) come to mind the most. They don't like braggards who throw their money around and laugh at how rich they are compared to you - that's going to turn anyone off, especially the regular joe schmoe who is paying $59.99 of his hard earned money to see your bragging @ss run around the ring for 12 rounds.

I don't buy his fights anymore and never will again (last one was the Oscar fight), even if he fights Pac. I am not putting another cent into that man's pocket.

The whole reason Floyd is signing this contract with Don King is because of this 'Black solidarity' bull****. Ali did it at one time because he GENUINELY was persecuted but later regretted it. Floyd is just racially paranoid and has insecurities and for that reason I say....

Go Floyd!!! Sign sign sign!!!!!

(Because nothing would make me happier than to see a black man **** the financial shyt out of Floyd ha ha ha ha ha!!)

Black solidarity isn't bull**** ya pussheaded degenerate lol...

[King Koopa]

Why is this surprising anyone?

Have we forgotten that J. Prince was once the promoter for Floyd Mayweather Jr.?

You bought every last ppv fight Floyd had so stop lying to the fans lol... We understand your complex about Floyd, and any trash talking black man, but don't lie and say that you don't buy Floyd's ppv fights lol...
