:45:00
Don't leave! I need your strength!
:45:03
He was startling looking.
:45:05
Writers found different ways
to describe this uprush of hair.

:45:09
Some would say that he'd stuck
his thumb into an electric socket.

:45:13
Falling through an elevator shaft.
:45:15
(Plimpton) 'The fight was postponed.
:45:17
'Don King turned up and it seemed
maybe the fight wouldn't happen.'

:45:22
Nothing as big as this
ever runs smoothly,

:45:24
anything worthwhile
is worth fighting for.

:45:27
If you think
about what Shakespeare said,

:45:30
"the sweet uses of adversity,
:45:32
"ugly and venomous like a toad yet
wears a precious jewel in his head."

:45:37
"Ugly and venomous like a toad
yet wears a precious jewel."

:45:41
How many fight promoters have tried
even one line of Shakespeare?

:45:44
I can relate to the denial
they are confronted with,

:45:48
the rat-infested hovels, sub-standard
tenements, overcrowded tenements.

:45:53
I've been a part of it.
I know about roaches and rats.

:45:57
When he started talkin' to me
:45:59
I can understand him
and he can understand me.

:46:02
So, when I do this here
he can understand.

:46:05
Now he will believe in me
:46:06
because he feels
that I have shared with him

:46:09
the same anguish and anxiety,
the same pain that he has felt.

:46:13
It's a big difference.
:46:15
What would happen
if you took a small part

:46:18
of the vast sums of money
being made from the fight

:46:21
and put it into something that was...
:46:24
that would help a number of people
rather than a few?

:46:27
This is my dream and desire,
:46:29
and I feel that I would need...
white counterparts to do this here.

:46:35
I would say let me engender a large
amount of money, if it's possible,

:46:40
and then don't just let the money
sit there and wither away and die

:46:44
but put it into the sun so it could
germinate, blossom and grow.

:46:49
(Hauser) 'He's a remarkable man.
:46:51
'Don King is one of
the brightest people I've ever met,

:46:55
'he's one of the most
charismatic people I've ever met,

:46:59
'he's one of the hardest working
people I've ever met.'
