    I mean how does he do it...I mean there's lawyers and contracts and everything...surely everything should be water tight? I know many fighters have complained that king robs them (Witherspoon, Tyson etc) And Lennox was always wary of him and wouldn't sign to him. How does King con these fighters and get away with it? Tyson I read assaulted him once outside an hotel because he was angry at being ripped off by millions of $$$.

    And fighters dont have their own lawyers reading through all this? Seems odd.

    I won't claim to know Don or his way of doing business...
    But I'd be willing to bet King has payed fighter's in properties such as jewels, cars and other material goods as opposed to actual MONEY in most cases.
    (It's not completely Kings fault some boxers think the money will always be rolling in)


    I could be wrong.
