Don King - Unauthorized

[@Aristotelezz]

I've seen this documentary many times by now. To say something positive about Don King, he isn't boring.

[@kevindean1327]

No but he is repulsive!!!

[@perrynn7173]

Fair comment.

[@syzmiktv664]

Not at ALL, but has a lot to answer to on judgement day. Our Lord is waiting for him to repent for his iniquity against his fellow man just for vanity. #pursuitofhappiness has little to nothing to do with MONEY. LOVE

[@peterdavis8471]

​@@syzmiktv664point well taken thanks 🙏👍

[@robertmanfredthurrigl9424]

Certainly colorful . His style of hair would give any hair dresser a run for their money (pun intended) . The best example that 'anything is possible' in gods country. The sky is the limit and jail time means nothing or attempted murder if you have the right connections and the ambition to go with it , which of course this reptile had has in spades . This reptile represents everything that is wrong with America . In Rocky V there is a promoter character in it, who resembles and sounded just like King. It was a case study and although the movie was not the success it hoped for , it nailed the promoter issue down to a T. The invitations to the white house by three different presidents says it all that is wrong with America. A reptile and shark like that would never be lorded over in Europe let alone invited by presidents or prime ministers but like i said : America is still the land where dreams are made , even if its a dream gone wrong , as most do.

[@firstlast1278]

If Don King could throw punches as quick as he talked... Holy shit...

[@kevindean1327]

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.

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.
