Al Sharpton caught on tape!

HBO real sports with Bryant Gumbel revealed a video tape with an FBI informant who was making a deal to launder drug money (cocaine) through boxing promotions. Apparently this FBI informant approached a noted mobster (forgot his name) and wanted to know how to launder this drug money through boxing promotions. Al Sharpton allegedly served as an intermediary between this informant and Boxing Promoter Don King. The Italian Mobster dude says that both King and Sharpton were involved in laudering this money.

The video seems pretty incriminating with Sharpton discussing his cut of the deal and specifically mentioning cocaine. Sharpton defended his actions (rather convincingly) saying that he was caught off guard and didn't want to leave abruptly so as to arouse suspicion with the FBI Informant who portrayed himself as a South American druglord. I believe this was on the cover of the Daily News with the heading "Sharpton caught on tape."

The mobster, who BTW is a little league coach somewhere in the Southwest now, also claims to have fixed baseball games in the 70's...all but saying the NY Yankees.

HBO did not reveal the source of the video and pointed out that it was not the FBI...who apparently denied that a videotape even existed to HBO.

hey wellbeyond, maybe you could give Sharpton some advice on how to argue and debate and always come across like your right! smile

BTW, have you EVER been critical of Prince? In particular, have you ever debated someone on the org and not been defending Prince? That's the main reason you HAVE TO be wrong once in a while...your the ultimate prince ass kisser!

Just playin' (kinda)...your cool!

So besides the fact that it involves Al Sharpton, is there anyone who believes boxing is totally above board anyway?

It isn't about AL Sharpton, it's about Satan working through HBO (homosexual beezlebob operation) to defame the character of a reverend of the gospel. See how Satan works. But Satan is a liar. Hang in there Rev. Sharpton. Don't let Satan and his lies destroy your good name.

Hey!

There has never been a fixed fight, bad decision or early stoppage in the history of boxing!!! I find you assertion that boxing might in some way be corrupt to be very offensive.

I hereby demand a public apology for your thoughtless slander of the noble sport of professional prizefighting.

:LOL:

I heard that the negotiations were pretty tough on the ear biting incident... Holyfield eventually cratered under pressure from Al Sharpton, Don King and the mafia and opted to have his ears eaten by a cannibal rather than learning to breathe underwater or drown... whichever happened first.
