To Don King:

You’re probably not aware that I recently published my memoirs, “Blind Journey: A Journalist’s Memoirs,” and that you are featured, Don, in the introduction and elsewhere in Part 3 titled “Los Angeles Times.” Part of the introduction:

Don King’s hazir stood at attention–stiff, pointed at the ceiling as if suddenly jolted by electricity. When he spoke, three-inch porcuypine-like needles quivered.

“Make me famous, Jack,” the relatively unknown boxing promoter’s voice bellowed, followed by uprioarious laughter as only Dn King can roar….

I didn’t make Don King famous, but many of my Times articles and columns in the 1970s contributed to his monumental–and controversial–rise to fame and wealth.

****

My book should trigger a lot of your memories, too, Don. I’ll send you my book if you give me an address that will assure delivery.

Keep punchin’,

Hello,
My name is Mike Delware and I’m am Bryan Vera’s Head Coach. I hope you got see Bryan’s fight, if not it’s on you tube. He boxed and listened good, but we could have going to the body more.
I wanted to show that Bryan can box if he’s trained right. He’s not just a brawler that a lot of people think he is. If everyone would take a minute and go back 1 year month, they will see a totally different fighter then what he did against Mora and Saurze, though we still improving. I have only been with Bryan for 9 months and he has fought the Brawler style for 6 or 7 years, so it’s a work in progress. But he has made huge strides in leaning a lot og new things. Now don’t get me wrong, the Pit Bull is still in Bryan big time and I when I it, I will call it out. But, we haven’t needed it, because he has the athletic ability to box, just needed the right person to teach him and he listens very well to my coaching, which allows us to do different things in the ring. Now he doesn’t have to take 5 punches to land 1 in hope’s to eventually break down an opponent. We will still break them down and punish them, it will just be a new and better way of doing it. Not to scare Chavez, Lee, Pavlik, Manfredo or Martinez, but he’s more dangerous now then before and I’ve only been with him 9 months, so the longer were together the worse it’s doing to be for those we fight.
Bryan stayed with the came game plan the whole fight in this one and against Mora. I knew we were going get him with that 3 hook shot or one other one we worked on. Bryan executed the plan and the combo that drop him perfectly. In the end people can say what they want to about Bryan, but they can’t say that he’s not getting better and with that heart off a champion, the never say die attitude and now skills added have been added. What they can say is he’s great for Boxing, He’s an animal during training camp, he’s gentleman and nice to everyone one he meets and hasn’t disrespected anyone in or out of the sport. All were are asking is for someone to give us a shot and Team Vera will do the rest. We will but on a great show and take anyone’s Title that’s brave enough to put it up. Bryan has always had fan friendly fights, even in a loss, which there will be no more. I’ll end by saying this, I don’t think Chavez wants anything to do with us. But Chavez vs Vera at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio would completely sale out or the Dallas Cowboys Stadium would be huge. It would be a War and a fight that boxing fans around the world want see and deserve. It looks like Andy Lee is the only man tough enough to say to Bryan….
Let’s Get It On !!!!!! As my Great Friend Mills Lane used to say. I miss and Love You Mills

Trainer – Mike Delware / Bryan Vera

Alex Cartagena

Hello Mr. King,

My name is Alex Cartagena I’m the president of the boxing committee here in Ft. Irwin as well as a soldier in the US Army. I have a Boxing show tournament coming up on December 10 – 12, 2011. This show will feature local amatures and I was hoping maybe you would like to come and or maybe provide some champions for our media night on the 10th to sign autographs for the soldiers and their family’s. The show will be held on FT. IRWIN base in California about 2 1/2 hrs. away from Las Vegas. It will be great to see you attend if you can. My uncle Eddie Mafuz who used to work for you spoke very highly of you and I’m sure if he was here today he would of made it easier for me to contact you.

Thank you for your time.

Jesse O'Hara

Hi there,

My name is Jesse and I am George Chuvalo’s stepson. I am currently earning my joint law / M.B.A. degree in Miami and am looking to gain legal experience in the boxing industry. I have noticed your office near the I95 and thought that I should contact you to see if you are interested in taking on a law student during summer of 2012. I realize that the economy is not the greatest at the moment, so I am willing to intern and help out for free in order to gain some valuable experience. I am a very big fan of boxing and I would welcome the opportunity to assist Don King Promotions with legal services.

Best regards,

Jesse O’Hara

I saw Don King on Bill Oreilly. I would appreciate the opportunity to talk to him about helping the wall street protesters with a plan to benefit them. I am a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Award recipient here in Indiana. I won this award because of an idea for a 21st Century system of Democracy for America. A plan that uses present day communication technology to allow “the people” not the politicians, to raise, debate and vote directly on the issues. A plan that is truly of, by and for the people. I would appreciate the opportunity to present this to him as I realize that he is America`s premier promoter. This is a plan that needs promoting..If in 15 minutes he does not believe that this is the best plan for America I promise to never bother him again.
Thank you,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Joe(Mercerville, NJ)

Dear Mr. King:
A very belated Happy Birthday!!!
You know of me through my longtime interest in DKP and my resume submissions.
Most recently(September)I was fortunate in crossing paths with Carl at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL.
What a dynamite experience!
In fact, I asked Carl about your non-stop energy level which is incredible at ANY age.
Mr. King, you are, without a doubt, the BEST in the business.
You have given so many fighters opportunities, and have done so much for so many, that I, hope and pray you are with us another 80 plus years.
Many have come after you and many more may come in the future, but there is only one Don King.
The undisputed champion of boxing promotions!
All the best and continued success.

Dear Mr. King,
I am writing this letter on behalf of Edinburgh Middle School (Grades 6-8), a small school located in Edinburgh, Indiana just 45 miles south of Indianapolis. Edinburgh is a very low socioeconomic community with over 60% of our students qualifying for free or reduced lunches.
Having taught at the school for 30 years, I am always looking for ways to improve student performance. Over the summer, I designed an incentive program called S.W.I.P.E., Science Wizards In Pursuit of Excellence.
My students compete daily on computers in my classroom covering a variety of science topics. With this new incentive program, each time a student wins a competition, he or she is rewarded with a “swipe” of their student ID card through a scanner. Each swipe represents an entry for a class drawing at the conclusion of a grading period. Swipes are also given for good attendance, behavior, and grades.
Mr. King, in order for this program to be successful, I need your help with providing exciting items for the four quarterly drawings. Any items you are willing to donate would be greatly appreciated.

With thanks and appreciation for your generous consideration,

Jerry Hayes

P.S. In order for my students to take ownership of the incentive program, they provide me with many of the addresses. We hope you will be able to participate.

Mr. King – You can help restore Mohammad Ali

I am an engineer involved with a project called “bodybuilding in water”.

11 years ago after my knees became useless I used an engineering science called “force mapping” (used to design buildings bridges and cranes) to create the only massive muscle strengthening (or recall) system that works almost regardless of the person’s balance or ability to load their bones.

This is because these patent pending devices I call Body Oars carry the forces of exercise to and from muscles without also driving the forces through bones vertebra and joints.

The ability to walk, stand swim and even do any other stout exercise methods is not necessary. Body Oars can even keep muscles and hearts strong while healing from most serious leg, arm back and balance injuries.

Body Oars actually work best the more disabled the person is because they take them from not being able to do any deep muscle exercise to full exertion. And without joint and disk compression Body Oars are painless to use.

For former athletes Body Oars restore their long lost “atrophied” core power in days, much like how arm and leg muscles rapidly restore after a cast is removed.

I always loved Ali and after seeing him at Joe’s funeral, I felt compelled to try to contact him using several web sites, and hoping that you would relay these 2 facts to him.

We know that Parkinson’s is a brain disorder however he is having great mobility difficulties so he no longer can use traditional methods to stay in shape, he does not need the ability to walk stand or swim to use our devices to restore his strength.

Secondly, we have engineered 3 exercise that cause the body to release massive amounts of natural healing endorphins. I have no direct evidence that these endorphins will help fight Parkinson’s but they seem to help everything.

We have helped many disabled people loose their canes walkers and wheelchairs over the last 4 years but being an Average Joe working engineer, developing these devices in my basement, the mainstream fitness, health, media and government have ignored these people and body oars like candlestick makers would have ignored the light bulb.

However Google or Bing “World’s Greatest Workout Device” something about our Body Oar prototypes already takes at least half of their first page listings (not sponsored).

I don’t want any money or anything from you only a chance to contact Ali rapidly because I know that we can restore his power with these devices.

The Perth boy Mark “The Dominator” De Mori took on and defeated in gladiator like fashion Dominque “Diamond” Alexander yesterday in what can only be described as an electric atmosphere. Every person at the fight felt as though they were in the ring fighting right alongside Mark and the roar from the crowd was evident of how much the victory meant to every single one of the people that filled the stadium to watch the carnage and see the reign of terror that Mark unloaded on Alexander… We want more of Mark and he has called out your best heavyweights to fight in an interview with the ABC yesterday… Give us what we want. Mark has called you to arms Mr King… Lets see you deliver to the people what we want. Marks Ready, the paying fans are ready and most of all boxing is ready.

Dear Mr King,
I am writing in the hope that you will be able to help me in my attempt to raise funds for our charity organization Burnley Community Team, which is a learning disability & special needs football team.

To this end we are arranging a presentation night fund raising event in January 2012, part of which will involve presentation of prizes to all the players.

This is what has lead me to you!

It is our hope that willing celebrities will be generous enough to donate signed memorabilia or photographs for prizes, which will serve as a real incentive for people to participate.

I do understand how busy you are, but I would be so grateful if you could just take a minute to sign something. What might seem like a small thing for you would mean a great deal to the people we are aiming to help.

Thank you for your generous support.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Anthony Ruth

To whom this may concern:

Hello I am Abraham Bullock, I am a Senior at East Carolina University. I am requesting information on fighters purses. I am doing a project that compares older generation fighters to this generations fighters. I wanted to compare earnings as to why today’s fighters do not fight as much as past generation fighters. I have an outline copied below to hopefully help you better understand why I believe this information is vital to a successful paper.
-
Early fighters vs. current fighters
o Characteristics
o Numbers of fights
o Payouts
o How you select who to fight
- Growth as a spectator sport
o Advertising
o Promotion
o Sponsorships
- How TV has had an impact
o Who were the fighters that started this
o What social conditions were in place that allowed this to occur?
- How did fighter’s personalities affect their marketability?
- How boxing TV series has helped to promote the visibility of the sport and how it has affected the ability of boxers to make a living.
