Comments Thread For: Frank Warren on Don King's Return, Broner's Mouth, More

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

At the ripe old age of 82, Don King is back in the heavyweight business and hopefully will liven it all up after Bermane Stiverne’s thrilling stoppage win over Chris Arreola for the vacant WBC title in Los Angeles last weekend. It allows the Cleveland promoter to finally get his teeth back into the heavyweight division that has always been his passion.

The man with the electric hair and booming voice is a solid contender for the greatest promoter that the sport has ever known. He engineered The Rumble in the Jungle, The Thriller in Manila plus most of Mike Tyson’s reign of terror during the late 80s and early 90s.

The U.K kind of don't look at Mayweather as just start in one region I guess.

Apart from Mayweather, who gets to hand pick his own opponents, the yanks haven't exactly been setting the world scene alight in recent years either. And their population is a LOT bigger than little Blighty's.

How does Warren rate King a contender for greatest promoter ever? Look at the financial ruin of MANY of his fighters over the years. He has skroo-ed more fighters than a Vegas hooker team. ANY of the top current promoters has a better record than him in that regard. King is scum, pure and simple. A snake who will ruin most fighters who are ignorant enough to sign with him. If he doesn't give them short moolah, he keeps them practically inactive. Who needs that b.s. in this sport? We have enough trouble with incompetent/paid off judges and refs. Funniest skroo-over ever... Lennox Lewis told King to meet him at 8am for breakfast the morning after one of his fights. Only problem, Lennox left the hotel at 7am. HA

One point Warren does make that's dead on - it is pathetic that Bonehead will probably profit from his ****** thug ignorant racist remark toward Molina recently. The good part of it is, broadcasting ignorant remarks like that is heard by many people, and many of those will weigh the sheer ignorance of having a racist mindset. So the net result will be fewer racists.
