The World’s Greatest Promoter started DonKingTV.com in March of 2008, accomplishing another first in the world of boxing by starting his own network via the Internet. He featured Cory Spinks and Devon Alexander live in separate bouts for free from St. Louis, Mo. That event garnered attention from 195 countries around the world. Fans logged in via the Internet to watch the fight live. From Albania to Zagreb, boxing fans were able to watch a fight live that was taking place in the U.S.A.’s Midwest.
Halloween Thrilla—a true Don King extravaganza, live from Las Vegas, the city where dreams are made. The event will bring a ringside view of the event for a global audience, complete with Don King and celebrities in the world of entertainment watching at ringside. Don King believes that the Internet is the way to give the fans what they want and is the shape of things to come. It is the marriage of technology and sport, giving sports fans more choices.
King said, “DonKingTV.com is the people’s network. Your voice needs to be heard. Let your voice be heard. I want all the bloggers and all the boxing fans around the world to help me to help you in bringing boxing back to the people. I am a promoter of the people, for the people, by the people, and my magic lies in my people ties. Join me on a treasure hunt at Treasure Island. Your dreams, too, can come true. Find your pot of gold at the TI.”
