What happened to Don King?

yes. but hes no where near the level of top rank or GBP or how he was back in the day.

his stable is full of mostly average joes that get gift decisions.

 

Last time I saw him was when he was promoting Ricardo Mayorga when he fought Cotto.

 

I think he was promoting Juan Manuel Lopez. I know he was promoting a recent tv fight and I think is was Lopez-Salido

 

He promotes Alexander and I think Cloud, Lopez is Arum.

 

devon is GBP he has K9

 

He definitely promotes Cloud

 

He promoted the guy who lost to Rigo in his last fight, his name i cant remember, Ricardo Ramos or somethin.

 

Hes rich and enjoying his years of life. Ever since his wife died I feel he has not giving a **** about boxing though.

 

yea but he made great fights and always handled himsels well

 

no hes a grub

 

Don King had his power in the marquee division, HW.

When the K2 came to power, and DK tried to weasel in with his 3-4 fight options to get Valuev or Ruiz, etc...the K2 held their ground and refused unless promotion were on equal ground and without option.

Valuev said as much as the reason he was not allowed to fight a Klitschko is b/c DKP could not get a 2-3-4 fight option on thier next bouts.

In other words.....If either K2 beat Ruiz or Valuev, then DK would control the promotions on 3 or more of thier next fights. Well, win or lose anyway, and Vitali was strongly against the idea of allowing King into anything in terms of progression on their side. Have never heard Wlad saying anything about it.

But with the marquee HW's he's worth as much as tits on a bull.:deal

 

Devon was King for the Kotelnik fight and I think the Matthyse fight.

 

It was Cloud. I remember thinking after Cloud received a controversial decision that he could thank Don King

 

well Maidana fight was gbp and so will future fights
