Say what you want about Tyson. He speaks directly from the heart with passion.
Exactly
Tell me this man is great...thm onions
And knows
Bill Rastorfer
Not only that, every time he stops wants to cry, but people think he's trying to make fun, especially when he's talking about Cus D'mato
Bill Rastorfer very true... that's y I love him...he is a good person...
iron mike really wanted to introduce ali with great honour, his words may not come out clear, but his soul spoke the respect he has for ali the greatest.
glory manutd
indeed
It was so hard for him to complite whole sentence..But...Tyson forever!!!
ThUrT EilNo right I feel he's words
nenad aleksic yeah because he was tearing up taya why you couldn't hear him clearly, he has such a huge respect and loyalty for his man Muhammad Ali.
"He was my hero. I would have never made it without him. I'm nothing without anybody to look up to" man, he honored Ali the way he deserved. Well done mike.
true and painful statement.
Every single time Tyson talks emotionally about Ali tears comes down from my eyes..
"A champion doesnt consume ,he releases and gives everything"
well said Mr Tyson
100%
So fuck jon jones& long live DC
What a gem Mike.
What I felt more was that he pretty much said he wasn’t a true champion that that title belongs only to Ali because he wasn’t consumed by it all. To be one of the best of all time and still not call yourself a champion because of another just really shows how much Ali meant to Tyson.
@@AbdullahAli-ox6qq I wholeheartedly agree, yet would like to add something .
It will always remain impossible to objectively decide whose the best between an essentially amateur era and a truly professional era. In natural talent cricketers from the Caribbean dominated cricket in the Clive Lloyd/ Viv Richards era but since the dawn of the professional era the Windies are playing catch up to Australia, South Africa , India, Pakistan and even Sri Lanka. This shows that natural talent only indicates potential for greatness that still needs to be actualized.
Having said that I will say that Mike Tyson's brokenness and the natural aggression he had early in life contributed much to his underplaying his entitlement to be regarded as
the best of them all. He seem to give himself much less credit than we will give him as he compares himself to Muhammed Ali who he obviously admires a lot.
When he however does that comparison , these are the things other than boxing skills he unfortunately also throws into the mix:
A. Control of income received from boxing.
B. How he may have earned much more than Ali but had so little to show to the extent that he needed to fight well beyond the point when boxing became a burden to him and he was not well prepared for fights.
C . How Mohammed was willing to sacrifice his career at its apex for the much bigger cause of essentially other people and love for others.
D. That that sacrifice in the form of a 3 plus year layoff effectively took away from him many attributes that made him world champion such as speed, speed, speed he had in the early 60s.
E.. That when he returned in 1970 and reclaimed the title in 1974, he did so with special emphasis on defense , a strong mind and impeccable strategy for his adversary. Speed overall played very little part. He reinvented himself.
Even when Muhammed was fighting Parkinsons he evoked respect from the world. Mohammed was at all times giving to life and others. He did not consume. Not even when he struggled with Parkinsons. Without any comparible such impediment in life, Tyson on the contrary found it difficult to survive. He was consuming too much in order to survive. However, Mohammed was clearly thriving( even with Parkinsons) in Mike's mind( by comparison).
His attitude , I believe was the cause of his respect for Mohammed Ali.
I bet when he said 'i can get real ugly', the guy who yelled felt piss dripping down his leg.
RockaJabroni 😂 I'd put money on it 👍
Hahaha
After "and nasty...." everyone felt the same xD
I was listening to this in the background and I legit jumped and got scared when he said that.
He said "faggot" in Spanish after Rosie Perez spoke on the mic, that's why she laughed when she walked off haha
Even the most gifted orator would fail to convey the level of gratitude and respect Mike offered with this speech.
Indeed, The man is sooo humble in front Ali to the level he destroyed himself to the ground. Yet he thinks he is bad. My respect for Mike rocketed to the sky.
Beautiful words
5:19. You could see Tyson's rage come back, but he controls it out of respect. What a strong man.
Mike was nervous in the beginning but as he progressed he let his heart do the speaking.
nigga why yo head look likes an almond
***** I have a feeling you're the kind of individual who infuses anything and everything with a racial slur. Congratulations on infusing it this time.
***** Guyanese, but you're acting as if there's even something wrong with being Somalian, which of course there isn't. There's plenty wrong in being racist, judgmental, and ignorant, though.
Jason Gafar Fantastic answer bro
I’ve given speeches before in front of maybe just 20 people and it’s not easy. We are so used to people on tv/UA-cam delivering speeches well that we don’t appreciate.
TYSON GOT VERY VERY EMOTIONAL ..ALI WAS HIS HERO ..MAY ALI REST IN PEACE
KHALID MAHMOOD
I got emotional too.
They are both the greatest of all time.
Why are you shouting?
Ali is hero of everyone
Ameen
KHALID MAHMOOD Ali is in jannah (Paradise)
listen to him after 6:10
then you will know how much he loves mohammed ali, to that point that he is not able to speak properly
No one will understand how much respect and love Tyson had for Ali. It's so profound. May Ali rest in peace.
O yes I do understand..I see it every time he speaks of Ali...& at other times too
i dont know why but when mike tyson gets choked up, it almost makes me shed a tear
Cause you gay
BIG- L Oh Ya! Good one! *clap clap* everyone that crys is gay i guess
BIG- L And im not gay at all, but its 2016 man, Grow the fuck up, you obviously are a fucking loser troll and have obviously learned nothing from influential people like Ellen Degeneres or Wanda Sykes, Jane Lynch, Neil Patrick Harris, Mick Jaggar, the list goes on and on, so now you sir can fuck off!
Idiot grow up.
Clint Williams Them MOTHER FUCKERS AINT INFLUENCE SHIT.
It has never ceased to amaze me how humble Mike has become. To me that is even greater than his achievements in the ring.
He always was... Media never showed it.. Under Cus he spoken eliquently and was respectful of all those who came before him..
Well said. I never thought he can be like this. All ive seen before was he is talking shit and always mad. Then when I see him cry I got emotional and teary too. This is the real Tyson.
Mike is a smart guy. There is no way he would have this perspective now if he wasnt.
Yes...exactly...for as great as both Ali & Tyson are as champions they have transcended their accomplishments by showing their humility & humanity...God bless them both...
100%
"There's no man that could ever beat him twice. And that's what a fighter is."
5:20 "please respect me im talking up here you know i can get ugly"
Me: *starts digging my own grave while shaking*
Moses Garcia same, I would probably just sit there paralyzed with fear
Many people would feel embarrassed that they were called out for being rude at an event like that. I am sure embarrassment was the least concern after Tyson laid into them.
I love Rosie Perez's reaction (look her up in her White Man Can't Jump secene)
What does Tyson say when that lady leaves?
😅😅😅😅
Floyd Gayweather ain't shit compared to Mike and Muhammad Ali.
AGREED!!
True
floyd maybe be a douche but hes an amazing boxer watching him fight is simply beautiful , i fell in love with boxing after i saw him fight
+Charles Waruinge ali would beat up mayweather with just his jab hahaha
mike is an attacker, gayweather is a dodger
"The best ever" introducing "The Greatest"........
You’re no monster Mike.
You are a brave, honest and great man in your own right.
You have fought and knocked your demons down and your hero Muhammed Ali would be proud of you 🙏
Beautiful. He doesn't have to speak, we all understand what he means, the tone of his voice is everything we need.
Thank you Mike.
I think you are the boxer Muhammed Ali feared most, you may not be the greatest, because there can only be one, but you may be the best boxer, atleast during your career if not all time, trust me.
Zulkarnayn good eye it is true
Ali was the greatest!
Wth, you're talking about.
First of all the things is Ali feared no one not even the brutal Foreman. But even if Ali feared his opponents
Was he in Ali's ere that ali feared him?
Ali is no dought Greatest of all time but next to him is Tyson...
Mohd Saif Ali The Greatest Of All Time period
Mohd Saif Tyson is not number 2
Joe Frazier is next to Ali... they broke each other.
Tyson is somewhere next to Ken Norton
Sonny Liston was the greatest heavyweight of all-times he just had to sell himself out cause Ali could sell a fight like no one ever could. The money was with Ali who knew how to play the game. SONNY LISTONS' BIGGEST FAN.
Tyson was better than Frazier
People are extremely disrespectful, laughing and talking while Mike is getting choked up. People like to say bad shit about Tyson but he's an extremely intelligent person and all of his anger and fury stems from people stealing from him and disrespecting him or taking cheap shots at him. My grandfather was friends with Cus D'Amato and Cus always spoke very very highly of Mike Tyson as a human being because he knew if it wasn't for the fact that Mike had grown up in a shitty area of brooklyn surrounded by crime, he would have made something different of his life because he was a very bright and loving child that no one gave a fucking chance to. Tyson gets very very emotional when talking about Ali, there hasn't been a time where ive seen him talk about Ali where he didn't get teary eyed or choked up.
True story!
Bright you say? xD he's of average intelligence at best, not meaning to offend him.
Potatoes He still had something most people don’t, like you. A fucking heart, humbleness, and he never lied.
@@ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx Not in the ring
@@Kotor007 yup certainly not in the ring he's a beast.
I felt tysons pain :( may god bless them both, RIP Mohammad Ali
Bro💀it’s Muhammad
A champion doesn’t consumes, he releases. Well said champ 💪🏾
May allah Grant him the highest place in heaven.
ameen
Ameen
The only heaven and hell there is, is here on earth.
You theists have only claims, but no proof. Your proof is " because I said so ".
If your parents werent Muslims, most likely neither would you be.
+MGT the same could be said about the big bang theory....... "theory" lol , but I'd rather believe in a heaven than be one of those people so vindictive to where they have to try and control other people's beliefs. That's just me, but your entitled to your own opinion though.
Wagon Burner Jr.
I agree - fuck knows where we come from.
But Im big enough to admit - I DONT KNOW.
What is so hard about saying those 3 words?
Because we all know its the truth. No muslim, no christian an no atheist has the answers. The only rational stance can be agnostic.
Mike Tyson makes me cry.
The same courage he had in the ring allows him to bare his
heart like no one else in such moments......of course he wouldn't have so much to bare
were he not possessed of a great big heart.
Mark Stump
Mike opens all our hearts, and Ali gives us strength
I'm glad he found his way in life he's like a little kid happy
Mark Stump THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENT !
#Mark
👍🏼💞💕👍🏼💖
Well said Mark. You hit the nail on the head.
Wow he is like a kid the way he speaks about it , that's called passion 💓
I think Mike Tyson did just fine and I felt everything he said, thats the second time that I've cried listening to Mike Tyson talk about Ali.
😭😭😭...and I’m a grown man
Me too
Real talk right there. One minute he put some random fool in his place, the second he almost cried talking bout the Ali. Gotta love Mike. Makes me mad Im probably never gonna have a chance to meet the guy in person because if I was there I wouldnt waste a second of his speech unlike these fools.
me to brother,me to,mike is such a good person,i respect you mike,for me you are from iron,for me you are the best ever!
+Suhail Muzaffar Don't compare humans to Jesus, Jesus is one of the mightiest messenger of God
+shabaz khan Agree !
the thing which ali does is he can make other champions respect him and die for him i think tyson respects ali to the full
@@shabazkhan-rx7cn.
Mike is so real ,no fake at all .He tells you the story with much passion.What you see that s what you get..He told Holly field in so many times to stop head-butted him ,despite Hollyfield kept doing it ,that is why he ripped his ear off.Hollyfield is a disgrace to boxing ,whoever compares him to these 2 legends Ali and TYSON doesn't know crap in boxing
Ya fuck holyfield..Tyson lets go champ
I commented long time ago that Holyfield used nasty tactics with headbutt to Mike first but referee was biased and didnt warn Holyfield at all till Mike had to do what he needed to do. Unfair and excessive punishment of Tyson for second fight with Evander.
Mike, stop putting your self down. Their are really important people in this world, who aren't half the man you are. You are a winner because not only did you become one of boxings' greatest, but you are a champion of adversity. You have beat the odds. Allow yourself to celebrate what you have become, and lay aside what you were.
ua-cam.com/video/OuNwr3wApbE/v-deo.html
Yeah but Tyson apologized to Hollyfield
Man...!! The guy chokes whenever he takes Mohammed Ali's name. What a respect he has for him. This man Mike Tyson has a heart like a kid. Pure and clean. May the Almighty continue to keep him in the right path.
What a transformation Mike Tyson has gone through. It's clearer than ever now that when he was at his worst his soul was in turmoil, and now he's found humility and grace and underneath it all, is an incredibly sensitive and honest human being, It's hard not to cry with the man.
Well done Mike! those foggots would never understand you or the life you went through.
Beautifully worded and well said by heart.
love you both man
I definitely agree
I agree with you 100%. Tyson might not be the most eloquent or brilliant of speakers, I think he really tries his best make a crowd or audience laugh as a way to kinda make the people feel more relative or at ease, but people really underestimate Tyson, they dnt really knw that truth be told he's a very incredibly smart intelligent man. When he gets serious & behind talkin about life & the issues, adversities, hardships, headaches, hurts & pain that life brings; it's in those type of his speeches that causes the rim completely silent as he just speaks such deep knowledge & wisdom.
He wears his heart on his sleeve, & is like a big teddy bear, a gentle giant. The way he looked up to Ali is the way so so many of us look to Mike Tyson.
+Strangerdenfiction indeed. and to come out and wing it the way he did with no notes it shows Mike has come a long way. I know inside what he means and what he wants to say, you can just feel it from the emotion the great love and respect he had for Ali
+Reign Terror
Yeah bro, listen I grew up in a family of fighters, my father (RIP) was once a top contender in Golden Gloves but the lure of selling these beautiful green plants with 5 leaves on em, selling anywhere from 60 to 80 pnds of this "plant", lol, a week; for him was much more appealing. It was the early & mid 80's bk when he lived that lifestyle so things were a lot different then they are today. By age 25 my dad had already accumulated a semi-mansion sitting on probably a hundred acres out in the country. He had all the toys is men love, like suped up modified muscle bound Hot Rods with chromed out engines, from Mustangs to Nova's to El Camino's...... dirtbikes, 4-wheelers, 3-wheelers, guns ranging from your typical hunting rifle &/or shotgun to your Dirty Harry heaters to semi-fully auto weapons.
I'm trying not to glorify that lifestyle because it's a lifestyle I myself once participated in & now want nothing to do with it! It's all material possessions that will all one day perish along with our mortal bodies & we won't be taking anything from this life that we've stained or achieved along with us. I'm just giving ya a quick perspective on what took my father away from sometin he would hve no doubt excelled in. He died a very early & pre-mature life, at the young age of 50. Him & I were close & diff a lot together because our age difference wasn't that far apart. He & my mother both had me when they was only 15yrs old. Kids having kids. But his reputation proceeded him in that he knocked out every man he'd fight! Now my father was somewhat of a big guy, 6'1"/235-245pnds, but was incredibly strong & hands do big it looked like he already had boxing gloves on, lol.
He was great with his hands & I accredit his ability to hve knocked out EVERY SINGLE GUY he had ever fought, to the boxing training received while am amateur fighter & Golden Gloves recognized top contender.
But bro, we lived, ate, drank, breathed, slept, talked, walked & watched boxing 24/7 & honestly couldn't & didn't want to get away from it.
I grew up in the era of Tyson slowly being ushered into the public eye until before you knew it Mike Tyson was a very well known household name.
I remember him making history by becoming the youngest Heavyweight Champion in Professional Boxing. I watched as he made history by unifying all three titles. Watched as he made history yet again by knocking out an undefeated Mike Spinks, & that within 91 seconds in round #1, lol!!!
I watched him be absolutely humiliated on live television in front of the whole world when Robin "Money Hungry" Givens made him out to be this monster woman abuser, then left him the next morning. Watched as Don "Greedy" King slowly slithered his manipulative slimeball trickery into Tyson's life, using Tyson's weaknesses which was women, as a means by which to control Mike. I watched as Don King convinced Tyson to say good bye to his long time trainer & close friend Kevin Rooney & replaced him for a corrupt, Pro-black, Anti-Christian, Pro Islamic fake entourage who cared nothing for Tyson as a human being but rather a cash cow that had the ability to generate millions apon million's of dollars that they would profit from.
Sadly I watched as Tyson got beat for the first time in his career by a bum.
Watched as he was accused of rape, which I believe were false accusations.
It's no wonder the man became so full of rage & anger. He only wanted to be loved, but instead was used, falsely accused, talked bad about, media created him into this image of a monster who should be locked away from society. Called names, dealt daily in regards to lies of himself written in the tabloids.
He didn't wanna box no more, he wanted to get into that ring & kill his opponent & I do not blame him!!!
Tyson has got to be one of the most misunderstood person in human history.
But I see, I discern & can read him & what I see is just a beautiful man, sometimes brutally honest, speaks his mind, an incredibly super smart individual, a humble more wise Tyson, a student of life & who's story is still being written. His is a success story, not an unfortunate sad one.
Sorry for rambling bro, lol. Shows I really hve nothing to do today cause of the weather. God bless you my friend.
Tyson is all heart. The baddest man on earth. Just bringing up Cus, he gets emotional. That’s from his deep love, appreciation and loyalty.
Man that was the most natural and unscripted speech ever!
Mike really is very humble now...how he kept saying that he's nothing and just a bum...And his respect for Ali is true!
damnnn. what a speech.. never heard nything like dis. he made me cry a bit..
you don't need to talk Mike ... your feeling have reached me.
A Very Sad Moment For Us All..!
#BoxingLegend
Muhammad Ali..
who had long suffered from Parkinson’s syndrome which impaired his speech and made the once-graceful athlete almost a prisoner in his own body, died a day after he was admitted to a Phoenix-area hospital with a respiratory ailment.

This choked me up. Ali was my hero as a kid. Thank you, Mike - no one could have done a better job than you with Ali's induction into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame. Kudos.
Tyson's new lifestyle is a classic example of redemption... I love him better now!
Fuck the haters, I love Mike Tyson for being real and for being truly, the baddest man on the planet. No, he is not a perfect man, but someday I hope to meet him and tell him how he inspires me and others I know to reach our potential.
What a life this man lived!
Mike showed his respect and love 💕 for Muhammad with the emotion in his voice.
Well said Mike. 🥊
RIP Muhammad 🙏
I'm not good in boxing but every time I walk in to the gym. I want to be like you mike, you and Ali are my life time hero. sorry for my bad English
Syauqe Jamaludin bro don't be sorry. It's the emotions that matter, not the words. And I completely feel you 😊
You have good English
I love the raw honesty about Mike Tyson!
Respect for Mike Tyson. Great guy!! 100% original.
I keep watching this over and over again, and I get blown away by his induction speech every single time.
R.I.P mohamed Ali , a legend left us but he will allways be in our heart . My kids are 14 and 19 , they know who is mohamed Ali 🙂 i hope mike tyson will have a happy life , we love u mike

☺
😃👍
I RESPECT YOU MIKE...AND YOUR FEELINGS FOR ALI CAN'T BE EXPRESSED IN WORDS...
Ali is inducted by his greatest fan
This man is straight from his heart....
Iron Mike you and Muhammad Ali are the greatest champions god created!
damn its tough listening to mike tyson tell stories
i hear ya jeje
***** 100%
Humility... Ali has a big influence in Mikes life... when you hear the most feard, exciting and electrifying fighter there ever was in boxing talk like that about someone... you know its damn true
This man is a real man, he just bought me to tears. Everytime i listen to him talking about his feelings for Ali, i just feel every word he says, no matter if his words are not so chosen and he maybe doesn't put it out eloquently, but with the deepest and real emotions that catches you in the second he speaks it out. I just love you for what you have become and your honesty at any time and any place, keep it real Mike!!
"Please respect me when I am talking, because you guys know I can be really ugly, an nasty..."
Oh we know that Mike :D Years ago you'd have went down the stage and knock somebody out :D
"Maricon...." xDDD that killed me
xD also the woman's reaction!
And yet he still said sir. Lol you you can see how much effort it took to keep his composure. Really trying to be better
@@austinling7318 real
Asmin Ghale
maybe you tried to say:
the woman over reaction!!
maricon is a very light word.... she made a face like if he insulted him in the worst way... not at all
PC sucks
@@carlostejada1479 it's not a very light word, hence the reaction. Ppl losing jobs over that type of language. Idgaf and I don't think Tyson does either.
That was one of the most moving, genuine, passionate, sincere speeches I've ever heard. Mike Tyson has a great heart. A true man.
That intro nearly had me tearing up. Man, I could feel the love, respect and sincerity through the screen.
I love Mike Tyson. He's a good man , he's for real. God bless him. 💕
that's what happens - when the boy was down in 1978 incarcerated - Ali paid him the visit- A boy who had no role models up till then will never forget it - never - No wonder Tyson loves Ali like a father
Man.. I cried..
😭😭😭
Mike was so emotional in the presence of Muhammad on his induction.
Respect to Mike. 👍🏴
Mike gave it real...he didnt hire a writer ...but he spoke heart like a fighter should
Tyson kept it 150% real. With out nobody to look up to your nothing and the World looked up to Ali for what he stood for. GOOD JOB MIKE. Rest in Peace✌ ALI the PEOPLES CHAMP✊
What a sensetive man Tyson is, getting all chocked up just thinking about his idol. 4:54
Hes a very easy person to identify with, I find. We have all struggled, we have all been sad, we have all suffered as he has, but hes not afraid to show it. I have so musch respect for ALL these boxers that came from nothing. Its extremely hard to make something of yourself even if youre born into money, but when you come from nothing, when everyone is beating you down, trying to keep you poor and in your place, to not only succeed but to succeed so spectacularly is just amazing. Hes still a millionaire and hes also happy. Best of luck to him best of luck to them all.
Ali was the greatest of all time.
Love and respect for Mike Tyson.
"The Greatest Fighter that god put on Earth - Ali"
You can't induct The Great one to Hall of Fame, Hall of Fame got inducted to Muhammed Ali
2:01 I got dat wallet, tho. I'm dead!!!
lmao yeah he did
Deeon Franklin
Forget a Undefeated Record....Ali Touched People All Over the World, Changed History outside of Boxing and considered one of the most Influential People in the world. He is The Greatest Fighter in Boxing
Damn, I'm crying a little bit. Preach Mike.
mike is the shit. ..much respect how he shows respect...and he does check fools that he feels need to be checked...respect that too...
Ohh God at 5.33 Tyson old deadly looks came back...never mess with Him...
Mohd Saif Its always there n always will be. He can control now. Same thing happens in an interview, you can see him go dark n you feel it but he comes back. He's mastered the ability to channel his energy.
Mike is #unfuckwitable !!!
5:22
Muhammad Ali was the greatest fighter from his time period and Mike Tyson follows him as close 2nd.
Anyone who makes fun of the way Tyson can't get out his words, honestly, is basically making fun of Ali too. Ali gave all he had to boxing, including his mind and motor function. Tyson gave his mind too. Much respect Iron Mike. You inspired me to box and never give up no matter what, and Ali taught me that true greatness is beyond a sport, it's about who you are as a human being and the message you send to the younger generation. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Mike is the real deal period.
Mike is the toughest boxer the G.O.A.T ever inspired, and the most greatful
That was perfect.
Mike was perfect.
Anything coming from the heart can't be flawed.
Just wow. This hits the feels
mike tyson.. he is human, he has feelings. go MIKE.
Your the best mike
He so genuine and humble.cant say no more..may god bless him.
Nothing but love and respect to this man.
You did change lives Mike.
Mike, u made me cry.
God Bless You
And Mohammed Ali, RIP.
You have left Millions sad but your legacy will be there forever.
I love the Tyson I see now !! Really respectable human being amazing . With lots of respect for the greatest Ali .
When he started his speech on Mohammed Ali, I froze. Then he mixed Cus D'amato into the blend, I was shaken. I was beginning to think Mike has managed to control and master his emotions when speaking about Mohammed Ali and Cus D'amato until his speech started to seize. The love and respect Mike has for Cus and Ali is amazing. There is no time and I repeat, there is no time Mike wouldn't break down in tears when speaking about Mohammed Ali and Cus D'amato. I love you Mike.
Mike you been my role model since 1986. Luv u man and Ali you the God of Boxing rip Champ
Wow. Great and touching speech from iron Mike. RIP Ali.
What a honest and truthful speech... That sincerity is what I love about Tyson...
Mike became one of the most genuine human beings this man has lived through it all, done it all and accomplished all. What an icon
very well said. champion is giving respect to a legend.
I find it hard to not lump up watching Tyson talk about Cus, there's clearly nothing but absolute love there. They'll be together again one day, Tyson's never been right without the Catskill connection.
Cus was the father Mike never had. I can't help but feel that if Cus was around during Mike's earlier days in his career, he could have kept Don King away from Mike. Ali and other legends knew how much of an evil sonofabitch Don King was.
+J.A Dapper i heard about don king and after your comment i looked it up; what did he actually do to all those boxers? i read something about defrauding but did he make money off them without them knowing at first or what?
+tloco Sort of. See, he had a reputation as one of the most crooked fight promoters in boxing. Say you were a fighter, and you just won a belt. You would owe him a percentage of your winnings, plus additional amounts for whatever shit he could come up with. He would hire and pay lawyers to draw up some contracts for you with a lot of loopholes that would benefit him monetarily. If you wished to break the contract and fight for another promotion, he would find ways to crush you where no promotions would touch you. He paid a lot of contenders to throw fights. If you were not a consistent winner in your fights, he would throw you to the side like a dying dog and draw up contracts with the winner. That explains why he had so many contracts with fighters at one time. He was really, really good at bullshitting you and manipulating people. Ali knew what kind of sleazy piece of shit he was, and wanted no part of him. Which is ironic, because the Nation of Islam was stealing from Ali.
tloco He is an absolute fucking scum bag!
You can tell that he’s so excited and honored to be able to do that for Ali.
Mike spoke from his soul truly not just as a boxer but from his heart! It was obvious the amazing admiration he had for Ali!
