Is Don King's screwing up heavyweight Boxing?

[psychopath]

Ha! Ha! Ha! Glad you like it bro!

Well to explain my side here . . . . I don't really hate Don King and Arum because they are earning out of the sport . . . that's fine that will always be part of any sports, there will always be a promoter . . . I'm hating them because they are leaning too much on protecting their personal interest . . . to the extent that they are already blemishing the CREDIBILITY of boxing. I hate it when two great fighters cannot settle the issue of who is the best, who is the real champion because they won't allow it... because it's not a profitable and good business decission. We have OVER HYPE PAPER CHAMPIONS as a result of career manipulations and rigged fight results instigated by these two clowns . . . and yet most people are that ****** to patronize and bite into their craps.

I'm just wondering when this is going to end.

im not one for conspiracies(?) at all, but i say, no don king=no brewster suddenly dominating wlad. I know, i know. ive seen many boxers run out of steam but never like that, and ive seen wlad bring a lot more heat to mercer than he was to brewster and mercer was moving more and trying to fight back. don king is filth.

i have, once before, w. klit vs. ross the boss purity.
damn near the exact same fight.

i saw that fight too. Wlad exhausted himself clearly, in the brewster fight, he looked sick, not tired, pale and sickly. thats all im sayin

Christians through the ages have a phrase for what you just said: "Hate the sin, not the sinner."

OK. That's cool.

Kings getting pissed because his piece of the pie is getting smaller and smaller all the time. Hbo, showtime, Arum, they are all taking a slice of Kings Pie, and he doesn't like it one bit. King must accept that his strangle hold on boxing is getting lesser and lesser all the time. Thats why King is throwing a fit about this last fight. He needs to realize that he doesn't represent the best boxers right now, and that will cost him some more shares of the boxing world over the next couple of years.

Is this a rhetorical question. Don King should be forced to get in the ring with every boxer he's ever screwed over.

Man I really thought the chinese were going to boil kings ass in hot oil when he promised them a heavyweight fight, then just like always the fight fell through. I remeber they weren't going to let him leave the country (china) untill they got properly reimbursed. I was hoping that would be tha last we would see of him. But no, he slithered his way out of it somehow.

Don King has been screwing up/manipulating the heavyweights since 1977 or 1978, so unless someone reals strong challenges him, nothing will change.

This is easier said than done, but if we could just not buy any Pay-per-views for a good length of time , these promoters will definitely be pressured to put on good quality fights ALL THE TIME!

I have said it once and I will say it again, don king needs to be killed. Someone has to assassinate this mother****er. That is the only way boxing can be saved, this mother****er cannot be involved anymore. I don't know how the FBI has not come up with some type of evidence against king to throw him in jail for a long time. If the FBI won't do it someone else should kill him.

I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Don King can't die fast enough for me. And if someone were to help him along, I can't say I'd give a damn.
