    Makes no business sense or is there something I'm missing?

    No rival promoters want to do business with King if they can possibly help it and he rips them off. Didn't Mayorga pull out of the Angulo fight because he found out King ripped him off?

    A much less populated stable than he formerly had along with many fighters and promoters not wanting to engage in a business deal with the slimy veteran are both partially responsible. I feel bad for Don King fighters mostly, especially young guys like Devon Alexander.

    No one wants to deal with King anymore

    Even the TV networks hate him.

    Youre right, I was just thinking the other day I havent seen Don King on HBO for a long ass time.


    Good riddance. Remember a few years back when he had the heavy division all tied up with Ruiz, Byrd and Rahman and would never allow them to fight each other or any where near a Klit brother and Golota kept getting **** decisions against King fighters.

    Aside from the fact that nobody wants to deal with him... He's about done as a promoter, not really interested, doesn't have it in him anymore, he's letting some good fighters rot in obscurity while he makes 1-2 fights a year. He won't even release them from their contracts which is even more insane.

    Good.

    The less of Don King, the better it is for the sport of boxing.

    **** Don King, good to see people are doing less and less business with that crooked piece of ****.

    Any surprise that WBC President Jose Sulaiman recently went on a public open letter rant about GBP?

    It is very well known that Sulaiman is King's puppet and has been since the 80's.IMO he was echoing Con King's words.

    Yep, and I must say too bad.

    Golden Boy is trying to clean up the sport and do away with these bull**** alphabet belts, Sulaiman and King have no right to bet bitching about **** considering they had a hand in ****ing up the sport.

    GBP > Jose Sulaiman and Don King's lives
