Don king was a crook in the most ugly way I have never heard a boxer say a Good thing about him he ripped them all off but the I R S and the FBI were continually trying to catch him numerous times they took him to court but they could never catch him so he always walked his offices were bugged the the full works but he knew that so covered his arse Back in the day I lived in London Don king was trying to set up a fight with Lennox Lewis his manager at the time was Frank Maloney King didn't want the details let out or taped so he kept moving the meet around in the end the meet was in a kebab shop with tables out the back where they could discuss business with no one over hearing the details In Winchmore hill the back end of wood green I only know this because my mate at the time Dad owned the kebab shop how ironic is that discussing millions of ££££££ Supposed fight for Lennox Lewis in a kebab shop where you could buy a large kebab for about £6 😅😅😅 if you are really into the corruption in boxing Buy a DVD called in and out of the ring you can get it for about £3.50 on Amazon or ebay It goes through buying rankings back handers and envelopes full of cash for title shots and higher rankings they used nick names for different promoters or managers The FBI turned 1 of the rankings fellas so it was all on tape and video 80% of the supposed people involved got jail time or a big fine tax bill and other restrictions The alleged name for King was fuzzy wuzzy now think about who else involved in boxing would have that nick name but yet again everyone but Don King got charged he got off Scott free again 🤑🤑🤑 If you buy it I highly recommend it also goes into fighters who dealings with King I can't remember. His name but will dig out the dvd again tonight but I think he was a light HW anyway king kept promising him a title shot but it always fell through so he would end up fighting a different opponent as it transpired the champ at the time never knew about said fight promised and the opponent which kings back up or fight matey had to fight had always been training to fight to fight him in all fairness matey got an out of court settlement with King in the end and I think he retired but through out Kings boxing history he has alway ripped boxer off for a few million and offered them an out of court settelment if I am correct when Tyson came out of prison he was broke thru king to the tune of about 110million King got Tyson to settle out of court for $14 million I watched an interview with Larry Holmes about 20 yrs ago he said he knew King ripped him off for many millions but he wouldn't have earnt the millions he did get without Don king King is the scum of the earth when it comes down to boxers and ripping them off From Ali to Tyson I have never heard a boxer say King has treated the right King walked into the Ring with Joe Frazier and walked out of the ring with Foreman This does make me laugh I was watch a documentary. On Roberto Duran ages ago after the SRL fight Duran lost his desire a bit anyway he lost an English fighter called Kirkland Lang well King stormed into Durans dressing room after the fight and ripped up the contract between himself and Duran Well the great thing about that was after that Duran took the LM title off Davey Moore on his Birthday then took possibly the goat of the MW division the full 15 rds in Marvin Hagler which nobody had ever taken Marvin the distance in a title defense and was even on the scorecards at 12 rds then went on to beat Barkley for the MW title on a split decision not bad for light weight lol 😅 So in my eyes the only boxer in history to have Don King over 2 world titles after King dumped Duran🤣😃 Plesase please if you love boxing and studying it inside out Good and bad the sneaky fuckers and snakes like Don King its called BOXING IN AND OUT OF THE RING (DVD ) You can pick it up now on ebay for £2.50 new free postage You won't get a better insight Its the best £2.50 you will ever spend that can't even get you a beer so I have just ordered another copy lol 😅😊🤣
@@davidlee3670 i agree he is a crook. But i wish he would get me 3 million but owe me 8 million. I agree he then would have robbed me outta 5 mill. But i can only speak for my self. I would get over it since he still made me a millionaire lol. But thats what i feel. I understand if others dont feel that way
I searched sportscentury on wikipedia after seeing random episode and remembering it always being on ESPN Classic...I clicked on Controversy's and it explained this episode made Don King sue ESPN&dDisney for $2.5 Billion dollars for defamation and subsequently laughed out of court 😂😂😂 Thanks for posting!!
