No he has done nothing wrong as far as I know, And he aint dead..
I was watching the Benn Vs Mccllellan fight and I noticed that at the end of the fight when Gerald is in bad condition in the corner, He was more concerned with kissing Benns arse and getng T.v coverage..Had that been the other way round I think Frank Warren though a bit of a mupet at times would have been over there showing some concern? I am just wondering does this just sum Don king up..Is he self indulgent?

Lets not beat around the bush, Don King has lined us up some great fights over decades but he is a selfish mother fcuking shark that fcuked over Tyson for example and numerous other fighters & only gives a **** about himself and if he ever gives a fighter something it's because he is benefiting from it in the long run.

Like Tyson said ''Do you know why that mother fcuker has that weird, puffed up hairstyle? It's to hide his horns''

Everything Tyson made, King received at least 50/50, he organised parties (came out of Mikes pockets) & everything and milked Tyson dry for his 300mil & several other fighters too.

He was a **** but he was a **** that knew what the fans wanted, he's lined up so many amazing cards and if a fight was huge he would do whatever was needed to make it happen, I hate too bring them up as the threads nothing too do with them but if Floyd or Pac were under King the fight would of been made long ago.

Obviously wasn't good for the boxers welfare (exception of Larry Holmes ?) but he was a damn good promoter. Wish he would of done a better job promoting Ricardo Lopez though even if he did have JCC at the time.

Mmmm yea I know that Don has put together some great fights without a shadow, It's just something that I noticed after watching the Benn fight for like he 10000s time that he could not give a **** about Gerald..

Everyone knows he's a POS. You don't get a reputation like he has for being a generous caring angel.
