    He was promoting Devon Alexander as far as I know, going into the Timbo fight. Don't know if he still does. He promotes Tavoris Cloud and a few heavyweights, also 140lbs prospect Vernon Paris.

    If they want to make Pacquiao - Mayweather bigger they need him promoting somehow. He is by far the most known promoter to non boxing fans. His presence will make it a much bigger event.

    Yup. Devon is with Golden Boy now though.

    He also promote Guillermo Jones, K9, Mayorga, Stiverne, Austin.

    He also still got Cory Spinks in his stable.

    He also co-promotes Solis.

    Dont know if he still co-promotes the inactive Valuev.

    Got some lesser names too. Some heavies, Ryan Coyne Cruiserweight/Lightheavy and some guys across the other weightclasses too.

    Not all of his former fighters hate him, Tito gave him $500k in present. :deal

    I think Don King's bad rep is part of the popular belief amongst fighters. He's also done much good for the sport of boxing.

    Didn't know Stiverne was with DK promotions. Thats pretty cool.

    Guillermo Jones latest run of TKO wins at cruiserweight has totally amazed me, I mean just look at the guy:

    DK apparently offered Mayweather something like $100m for signing with him just as he was coming back.

    King always had the top heavyweight stable. And when the heavyweight scene thinned out, so did Kings stable. Klitschko laid the hammer on him by defeating Haye, whom King had options on, or rather.. the WBA belt, also called DON KINGS PERSONAL BELONGING :deal

    Tito didnt give him 500k. What tito did is drop a law suit he had against king claiming king owed him 500k
