I hope my brain is half as sharp as Don King’s by the time I’m 88. Brilliant mind, still going with infectious enthusiasm that’s rarely seen. Salute!!!
NJ, this man has all the indications that will reach the 100 milestone .
I am always surprised how this man still gets sympathy from anyone, incl, people who claim to be “boxing fans”.
Manslaughter (more accurately, second degree murder), bribery, hiring assassins, faking records of boxers, stealing millions of $$ from boxers, fraud…. and the illustrious crime list of one of the worst – or possibly the worst – sleazebag in boxing history goes on. The longer he lives, the more crimes he commits.
I think Iron Mike Tyson summed it up best when he said this about Don King: “He’s a wretched, slimy, reptilian motherf****r.”
