while this is true, he used his race to shame/bait Black fighters into allowing him to take advantage of them.
Tyson is the prime example of this...
King was circling around him like a vulture when Cus D'Amato died and made him fire Rooney on some pro-black shyt (Tyson was 35-0, with 31 KOs at the time).
Don King was a curse to him... a very expensive one :wow:

Im listening to this doc on King and this white dude said Don laughingly admitted to him all that pro-black stuff was just BS

He got old and cats got tired of getting jerked by him after all the years of fukkery. He had a hell of a run though so they cant take that away from him that's for sure. We will never see another like him or Bob Arum again after they leave this Earth.

Yeah from what I've read about them, Cus was a real good influence on mike. Helped him grow a lot when he was young. Damn shame what king did to so many boxers. I knew he'd ripped a lot of people off, but not to that extent. :damn:
so its ok to rip off black boxers if youre black. what happened to unity brehs, you guys should be shytting on him
Ain't ok to rip off anyone, especially not the people you're supposed to be tight with. In most cases if feel Tyson would be a bit harsh to use the description someone quoted earlier in this thread, but given how much king seems to have cheated fighters out of and learning that apparently he's got two bodies on him, that description seems on point.

Don King is really Al Haymon.. Floyd respects this man and got game from him on how to pimp the game.

He hopped on the wrong gravy trains recently. Plus he is black.
