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

Floyd gets his opponents huge pay days tho.

Floyd got 180 mil Pac got 120. That's 300 mil purse between the fighters

If Don King was promoting that fight, the fighters woulda got 100 mil combined and the other 200 mil woulda went in Dons pocketsamd various other people's pockets.

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, right... predators don't die. This is a part of human life, and a HUGE part of capitalism. As long as there's someone ready to be taken advantage of (and boxers are prime for that) then there's going to be somebody there to take advantage of them.

classic interview

:mjlol:@ him referring to himself as a promoter as John the Baptist


Tyson 2 minutes in

Yo, this shyt is BEAUTIFUL to watch, lol.

He's speaking a lot of truth in here too; nobody will respect it because of who he is and what he's accused of being.

You could do yourself a big favor by listening to this mufukka talk, adopting his style/flair, and going out there and becoming a top salesman in your field or a great promoter.

Yep, Floyd would still get 180 mil and Pac would still get 120 mil. But Don King would have had Floyd use King's cousin as his trainer, King's son as his accountant, King's daughter as his lawyer, King's aunt as the cutman, and done the same for Pac, and Floyd would end up with about $20M left and Pac about $10M left or some shyt.

so its ok to rip off black boxers if youre black. what happened to unity brehs, you guys should be shytting on him


where did i say that? i said don king learned from the best, white promoters. and he was better at it than them. sure i could say he is a crook, but thats pretty much boxing promotion through the years. i wouldnt single him out. thats not to give him a pass. just seems black people always get scapegoated for the sins of the many.

On some real shyt, as much as we're shytting on Don King in this thread, we've gotta acknowledge that he's done A LOT to promote and market boxing... he's had as much influence on the popularity as boxing as anyone.
