lastnight on ESPN I was watching Ali fights, and I believe it was the
Foreman vs. Ali fight where at the end of the fight Don King walked over to
Ali with the biggest grin smiling and when he said something to Ali the
smile left his face quick as hell. and after that he didn't smile anymore.
Does anyone have an idea of what had been said. or does anyone have any
idea of what kind of relationship they had with one another?

herbert muhammad ran ali's business, and while he would let king promote,
he never let king take the liberties with ali that king did other fighters.
king wanted ali to himself, but never could quite get it done. one reason i
hate king is, after ali fought holmes, ali had to sue king for iirc, about a
million dollars. king went around herbert, using a guy that had been
friendly with the ali camp, and got ali to sign a release for, iirc again,
100,000 dollars. the guy took the money in a briefcase to ali's home, and
ali foolishly took the bait. as we have seen, king has no shame at all, and
fucked ali out of a bunch of money. i have read that king showed up when ali
fought berbick, wanting some money, and got the shit beat out of him for his
trouble. too bad that isn't available on tape, it couldn't have happened to
a nicer guy.

Who beat him up?

I'd pay double pay-per-view prices to see Don King get a good beating!

King's smile left his face because Ali fainted. The whole corner is
concerned, except Angelo who is joyously rubbing the great man's victory in
the faces of the press.

Don King's smile left his face because Ali fainted briefly. If you look
closely the whole corner is concerned, except for Angelo who was rubbing
the great man's triumph in the faces of the press. As regards Ali and
King's relationship - i don't think they have one. By all accounts Ali
forgives everyone, well he's a bigger man than me because i would still be
angry at King not least for the money in the suitcase incident.

This post is from 2000 talking about an incident that happened in 1974. I'm still discussing with my friend in 2019.
