Yes Don King protects Don King. He protects his fighters only as that protects him. He might view it as a waste to have this fight before it could be a unification if he thinks it can be one, to make it as rich as possible, but he'd have no qualms about one of them ending up on the scrapheap so long as he controlled the one who won. It's the thing that disappointed me most about Valuev, that he signed with DKP, although I think they only control him half and half with Sauerland? It's about time we got what would be the real spectacular, of Valuev against a Peter or a Wlad, where there might be some real power-punching, instead of against Ruiz and Chagaev, where they were just trying to trick around under his arms.
