Title: The greatest sleazeball businessman in the history of sports
Post by: Wiggs on September 29, 2022, 08:56:14 AM
Highly charismatic, highly intelligent, wise, ruthless, and a way with words that would impress the best politicians. The legendary Don King. Still alive and sharp as a tack at 91 years old. This asshole can talk his way into or out of anything. Definitely a genius albeit an evil one.

Was in Fraziers corner for the Foreman fight

He said at the press conference he would be travelling home with the heavyweight champ

Foreman won and true to his word he flew home with Foreman.

I just watched it. What a crossover. King and Genova. Only in America baby. If you get some free time and are bored, watch the Frontline Documentary I posted. You'll see he's not ok at all. He's a cunning snake.

Oh, I know he is. Ive seen plenty about him.
He was brutal in  his day (pre-boxing) and after.
But, he did what he did, no different than politicians, etc.

Only in America!

Considering how much he stole from Mike through the years, he got off light.

Benn deserves a knighthood for what he did to him. Connor Benn is fighting Eubank's son soon. The build-up to it has been quite funny so far; they're both like their fathers.
