Don King didn't throw a wrench in anything here.

Don King won the purse bid to hold the Pulev-Hunter title fight. The winning bid was $1.1 million. Hunter will get a six-figure payday.

The bout is for the WBA "Regular" Heavyweight title. The winner becomes the WBA mandatory challenger for Usyk or will become the full champ if Usyk relinquishes.

The fact that Hunter just accepted a fight against Miller roughly three weeks before his title fight with Pulev, a fight with Miller that Hunter will likely lose, endangers the million-dollar investment King has put in the Pulev fight.

Don King did nothing wrong. Hunter should be in camp now preparing for the Pulev fight.

The Pulev fight for Hunter makes more sense anyway.

Sounds like Hunter IS NOT looking for an opportunity to win a title ... he's just looking to cash out.

Crazy that Michael Hunter might get a title shot in the next 12 months, or even become the WBA champ.

Here's what we know:

- Hunter has always been flaky

- Hunter's obligation to King is in dispute: His lawyers and King's lawyers are launching claims & counter-claims against each other.

- Don King is, always has been and always will be a scumwaffle.

I think that it should be noted that I do not believe a Don King promoted fight has taken in place in 2025..........................he's sitting on fighters and doing nothing, this has been his MO for years/decades. Hunter took an opportunity where no other avenues existed. So did King do anything wrong? Technically no, morally and ethically.....................I will say he ain't doing something right.

I honestly think he does it just because he enjoys it, it keeps him young.

If he wanted he could make better use of his fighters, advance their careers, make more money and hosr events. But that's not as much fun is it.
