    I agree, but Sharpton and King did well in the music industry, and more importantly learned how to use there hustling and street smarts to become what they eventually became.

    Haymon was a ivy league school kid, he had opportunities, connections, ad contacts, king could never dream of.

                  So it sounds like they have nothing in common other than race and being from Ohio.

                    Lmao at these posts. Addix doesn't make his racism hidden tho, not sure why anyone would even try to have an honest discussion w/ him.

                      Managing or advising over 200 fighters seems strange and some of his fighters might be fighting each other and that seems like a conflict of interest. All of his fighters that have talked about him have nothing but good to say about him so he must be doing a good job. As has been said he is very well educated, obviously very intelligent, and very wealthy. No fighter has ever said he cheated them while many fighters accused King of ripping them off.
