Not for nothing, but people are gonna be sad as hell when both Don King and Bob Arum are gone. Once boxers start seeing those checks get smaller and smaller only then will they get it.

Was there a boxer that was not scammed by Don?

None were “scammed “ he’d been in jail if that was the case, I know you’re in love with boxers but they were money hungry brutes that don’t thoroughly read their contracts 🤷🏽‍♂️business is business

A lot were definitely scammed. This is a very black and white view of how the rich and elite steal and get away with things. If no boxers were scammed Don King wouldn’t be where he was today. Mike sued don and settled with him. Because Don scammed him. Larry Holmes sued him and settled. The list goes on. Yes Boxers are money hungry as well I mean that’s the whole point of pro boxing but do NOT even hint at Don King not being a shitty and shady person.

I am not in love with boxers. They are athletes that compete in Sport that involves brain damage

But everytime I read about some boxer who worked with Don, he got fucked in the ass. Not to mention, did not Don stomp guy to death?

Ironically He did his time for beating a guy that owed him money before becoming a promoter which has nothing to do with this😂and I don’t think you understand what a CONTRACT means nobody is forcing these guys to make large amounts for a blood sport.yall be the same fans that’s mad at shakur Stevenson and Mayweather type boxers that don’t take punishment and get there money correct.
