U.S. & World History – A very little known fact, is a boxing promoter got his start from opening up a chain of pastry stores across the nation bearing his name. But once he start promoting major boxing matches, he sold the business and worked in the sport full time. The new buyers changed the name, but they decided to give it a title similar to the name of the former owner, so people would realize that it was the same popular franchise, but the original title was “Don King Donuts”.
