Don King Says Boxing Needs A Hero

CY18 · Nov 12, 2013

“The state of boxing needs a hero. We need a hero that can relate, identify with the people and when he can do that they get up close and personal and then we can bring back the glory days of boxing when you have those people that they can relate to and identify with and be apart of and that’s what we’re looking for, we’re in search of."

Do any of you guys still care about boxing?

Personally, I would rather spend my $ on UFC fights.

Boxing needs Don King to stay the fuck away from it...then HE could be the hero. I hate that bastard...lol

boxing doesnt need anything, they are doing just fine right now. PPV sales are proving that. It would be great if the corruptness was weeded out, but I doubt that will ever happen

Don King was everything what was wrong with boxing...

But he was sure one hell of a hustler and could promote fights...

A hero... hahaha.. jesus christ couldnt save that sport...
If u want a lesson on corruption look at the road ufc is traveling... 20 years!! And they still cant get a prime time gig... AND the biggest joke is their ratings would crush 90% of whats on tv now anyway... lol. They r teying to keep that sport pure and not sell out... eventually a network will cave but geesh what a sad corrupted long road theyve had to travel

In 1921 there was one sanctioning body the WBC...Now boxing has IBA,IBF,IBC,IBU,WBA,WBC,PBF,WBF,WBO,WBW and the EBF...Then throw in 17 weight divisions. #%() Im not a big fan of Floyd Mayweather Jr., but I think he got it right when said''A title belt is good for one thing,collecting dust''.
