    Yes, if you keep listening after the picture goes blank you can hear pacheco moaning about Don King. "I don't know what the **** that was about! We gotta talk, I'm so pissed off! ...King! I don't know what the **** he was doing!"

    Funny video. I wonder why King said "We don't want Holyfield" considering that was the biggest fight to make.

    Because King knew Holyfield would wipe Tyson out, the man knows his ****!

    He actually knows his ****, I agree! I would not mind knowing how many heavyweights altogether king has signed over the years. I think he has handed back most of their contracts, even so, he seems to get the inside info on what heavyweights have championship potential.

    It's because Holyfield fought for Main Events, a rival promotion that wouldn't give King control of Holyfield. Simple.
