Yeah but King's style would only work in the armatures because he'd only throw arm punches. King at his core is a low down trickster. The only fight I've ever heard he was in was when he stomped a 135lb guy with Tuberculosis to death for some monies owed. I never heard about him locking horns with anyone that could fight.
Don King is the exact 💯 advertisement for you gotta be ruthless in business, dictionary description of the phrase, and he's got huge balls coz he swindled the hardest men on the planet aswell, now that's ruthless...
Excellent/brilliant truthful documentary! Such a travesty how Don King committed such an despicable, deplorable, disgraceful act of theivery/financial assault of Tim Witherspoon's, so much other fighter's, and Mike Tyson's career earnings. Thank God that Mike Tyson is now financially secure in 2019 and in a better mindset. Karma is the law of the return! Thank you so much for this thought provoking upload.
A black thug and racketeer numbers man and a Jew lawyer turned promoter is not a match made in heaven is it . Arum can never match the bad reputation that king aquired during his time. Anyway, having said that, it must have pissed off King something awful that Arum was in the ring with Fury after he beat Wilder and sang with him bye bye Miss American Pie .... Arum must be the same age as King but is in better health .
He didn’t GAF🤣🤣🤣 the draw with Holyfield was next level 💯 omm it was. Wasn’t no such thing as a fair fight on DK production damn sure not with one of his fighters
Jeremiah Shabazz was a charlatan to intercede for King to shortchange Ali. The many charities Ali helped out immensely. Ali did good with his earnings donating to charities.
DON IS HERE TO STAY HE WENT UP AGAINST ALL ODDS AND OVER CAME THEM ALL....HE MADE BOXERS RICH AND THERE NONKNOWLEDGE OF THE BOXING GAME LED THEM TO MIS FORTUNE...DON KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK..
I gotta say that the influence of Don King was immediate on Tyson'd career.That is unfortunate for Mike that he did not have in own inner character to weather the negative turmoil from Robin Givens and the Don King or he might have reigned for a considerable time longer with Jim Jacobs still alive and the original people the old man had entrusted to watch out for him.I'm surprised some wronged fighter has not popped a cap in King by now.
King knows enough to settle disputes with men who will kill over outright dishonor. Some guys you don't fuck around with. King's been smart enough to avoid that after an asskicking (by Mike Tyson) or a bonafide threat on his life (remember Evel Knievel, who gave ghostwriter Sheldon Saltman a broken arm with a baseball bat after hearing Saltman had dishonored him).
King did not convince the Zaire government - it was a Jewish guy. King did get money and was involved but was NOT the main player. The main thing was that King made the most of it. THAT is what King is all about - FINDING A WAY

Don King is painted in such an evil light, yet, little credit is offered for his success and the wealth that he brought to those around him. Everyone who works for someone is being used... Dana White uses all his fighters... Every corporation uses all its employees... Don King put together some of the most amazing matches internationally with little formal education. Respect to Don King
Agree. Say what you want about don. But as a fan. I loved him. He promoted some of the best matches in boxing history and from the 80, and 90s he constantly was putting together solid title fights with the best fighters of their division. Honestly boxing fights arent as exciting and competitive without don king anymore.
I met Witherspoon jogging b4 a huge fight , great human ,alone he stopped and shot the breeze for 5 minutes. I would have whacked King if he had been blood to me .
19:49 I worked with Scoot Ladue at Viking Sprinkler 1995 ..... He was a hell of a guy and I even shadow boxed with him.... He was a gentle big guy , especially to me a young skinny dude.... Got rest his soul... He was a good man....
At least Witherspoon got out before King destroyed him. You saw Tyson get destroyed by this A moral person!! Damn shame. What could have been if there was No King in Tysons life.
King was a shrewd businessman. ..If you not prepared to take it all the way with the king, you shouldn't do business the guy..He studied the game, and learned the business, but came from the streets...What the king have, you don't learn in the streets ..Its a difference between a human being and being human, know the difference...-Trusno
Lol he meant only in America could you stomp a man out , pay of the witnesses then turn around and bribe the judge and beat a murder rap and become a millionaire by stealing from every boxer you promote .. everybody has a price 💰
King was connected to the mob...In a sense, he was a made guy....Also did you hear what they said, he got a pardon from the governor on the murder charge, who do you know in the history of America getting a pardon on a murder charge, that isn't connected? -Trusno
@@trusno7751 no he wasn’t, the mob actually wanted to kill him and john gotti actually put out a hit on him lol. But they didn’t end up doing it due to it would bring so much heat
@LordIam1 Difference is, Don King marketed himself as a celebrity. Larger than life. He's an interesting person and a character so people are going to dig into him. Madoof was a bore except for the ponzi scheme who wants to see a movie about him. Like King says "if I didnt exist you'd have to invent me"
whatever anyone says about don king, he to date has made the best fights for the fans. every pay per view card was always stacked from top to bottom, and all evenly matched
I think Don King is amazing. I think you know what your going to get when you deal with Don King. I think the nature of most boxer is that they are not that smart and in that, Don King takes advantage of them.
@36:48 wow Don King got a Mafia hitmam to get Larry Holmes trainer to drop his cases against him.. I'm sure that wasn't King's only time sending a Mafia hitman to intimidate people
What an horrible manipulative bastard! Saying that he's been allowed to do what he's done through life by others more corrupt than him, who were willing to sell there selves and others for a quick buck!
Anyone in a third world country deals with corruption on a daily basis. It's you American softy snowflakes that aren't aware of the harsh realities of this world.
He IS incarcerated, in one sense. I can't imagine that anyone who dealt with Don King in any context could fully trust him. Regardless of his mendacity, which could enable him to live with himself, that fact might well cause him angst when alone and of his own counsel in the dark of night.
@39:50 Greg Page was illiterate he couldn't read or write sufficiently to understand the enormity of going to South Africa and fight during sanctions against South Africa to breakdown the apartheid government.
In all reality that money that was supposedly going to his nephew was actually going to Don, he said his nephew was him, and him his nephew, Don King, the greateat pimp of our century
I've seen this documentary many times by now. To say something positive about Don King, he isn't boring.
No but he is repulsive!!!
Fair comment.

A ruthless, nasty GENIUS.
Business is Business.
Scary combination....to be as smart as King is, and at the same time be as ruthless.
Who can blame him for being bitter? He took years and millions of dollars off of Tim Weatherspoon's career.
Yeah you can see by the way he answers the British reporter that he's smart and can wiggle out of anything while still appearing to give an answer.

What does it say?
The amazing thing is that EVERYONE KNEW what this character was all about, YET, PEOPLE CONTINUED TO GET INVOLVED IT💁
Yeah it's hard to argue against, even for those that like and respect Don King.
The love of money is the root of all evil. These boxers love boxing and money is only a byproduct of it, unlike King he loved money and nothing else.
King is the biggest Hustler ever
Yeah man !😃 he was a con man, murderer, bizniz man extraordinaire. Still running numbers but legally AS he could get away with other crooked dealings
I agree everything but the other promoters doing it!!
Ving Rhames did a great job portraying him.
He really did, he looked so much like him and his acting was incredible.
don't be so mashuguna baby
Lmao love that HBO movie that you can only find on RUclips
Feel so bad for Tim Witherspoon ,a Great fighter and a nice guy that got shafted!
Don King is the exact 💯 advertisement for you gotta be ruthless in business, dictionary description of the phrase, and he's got huge balls coz he swindled the hardest men on the planet aswell, now that's ruthless...
I met Tim Witherspoon on a personal level 5 years ago. He's a very nice man but still bitter about Don King.
a19patrol what had happened??
Wow thats awesome. So what was don king and aquaman like to?
He has every right to feel that way.
5 million in the bank. At least he’s got some cash leftover
I’m very good friends with Tim …..I feel bad for him . Unreal what was done to him
Sad to know so many boxers never got the fair share and their careers destroyed.
Bullies like Don King never paid for their crimes.
This is America.
In a nutshell
Only in America
Wow, Never knew Frontline did a
"Don King"....
That's how you know you've become part of the American story...
Boxing is a hustlers paradise

Didn't he steal from the great Muhammad Ali
I appreciate how Seth Abraheim break down of who or how this man is.

What’s crazy is that he is both still alive and still promoting somehow. Who in their right mind would even go near him as a promoter?!

Thank you Don for all the great fight you gave us. Tyson Douglas is a classic.
When you're splitting 50-50 with your manager, That's not your manager. That's your partner.
