FanHouse recently caught up to legendary promoter Don King, who turns 79 on Friday.
So on the eve of his birthday, FanHouse sought to pick his brain concerning a number of things, including his random thoughts ranging from the legendary Muhammad Ali-George Foreman Rumble in the Jungle of 1974, to the prospect of promoting a bout between Floyd Mayweather and WBO welterweight (147 pounds) champion Manny Pacquiao.
Below are a few of Mr. "Only In America's" musings.
On a potential bout between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacqiauo:
Mayweather-Pacquiao would be universal. It would transcend earthly bounds. With what I have in mind for Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao, if I'm fortunate enough to be able to be a part of it and to be able to get Floyd, I'm looking at something that would be so stupendous that it would boggle the mind.
It would be something that would bring billions of people together. It would be noted as a sporting event, but it would really be a humanitarian event. It would be somewhere where there would be fifteen hundred thousand people on the scene like we did with the Rumble in the Jungle.
So where I would put it? I don't know, because I don't have it -- yet. But if I get it then, you can ask me that question. But I would make it, what we call in the ghetto, something kind of wonderful. And I think that Bob Arum and I could put it together.
