      Trump is a dumbsheet, but no fighter is going to boycott America because of him. Just like AJ and SA, and Ali in Zaire and King staging fights in S Africa in 80s. Money means more then politics which have NO PLACE in sports to begin with.

        He was never a promoter, but he did stage fights at his AC casino. He mostly worked with King, but he was never promoting. He just liked to get his face into the papers so that's why he was seen MUCH more then other casino owners.

          You were right to begin with. Trump was NEVER a promoter, he just held fights at his AC casino and made sure to get his ****** looking face in front of any camera around.

                  Hell no, boxing and politics need to be kept apart. Let's just enjoy the sport and not get bogged down in human rights and all that.

                  However we should all boycott America due to its blatant corruption, disgusting robberies and its incredibly embarrassing PEDS abuse problem.

                      What money?
