How would boxing be with out don king

Maybe, I just think the guys a cheat, and a criminal. He overprotects almost all his fighters.

If i was a young fighter coming through the ranks, I would pick Bob Arum, not the criminal DK.

Once a criminal, always a criminal.

Well Bob Arum is corrupt as well and a majority of promoters or their organization conduct illegal activity. Don King however has by himself ruined heavyweight boxing. That is why Don King should retire and let others take over.

People defend King by saying "look at all the big fights he made!"

****....those fights he made....MADE THEMSELVES. He just did his job putting them together.
But, he also ruined many a big fight, & many a fighter.

Arum is no better, either. He's a corrupt mofo.

all promoters are corrupt

they take more money thatn the fighters

a fighter has to sell his soul just to get the fights to make his name for himself

even warren who wants to appear all repectable with this court injunction is up to his eyes in it...why you think he got shot???

Don King, a one time thug and murderer, has made a sham out of a once honorable sport. Boxing has been on the fringes of of credibility since the early days of the mob.

You never know which judges have been paid off, you never know which fighter has been paid to take a day off or a dive, but you damn sure know the son of a bitches that are paying them to do it.

Don King is probably the worst spokesman for any organization that I have ever seen.

He should be tarred and feathered, then plagued with some terrible disease that makes his hair fall out.

all promoters are corrupt in some way or another but atleast king and arum put on alot of great ppv's for the most part the worst i think is golden fraud promotions this guy puts on the worst fights like barrera vs. fana and barrera vs. peden and top of it charges 50 $
