    What has happened to DKP? haven't heard a peep out of him for awhile. He used to have the bgest cards and a deep stable, but it like he doesn't promote anymore. I know he's old, but you'd figure someone would take his place. Anyone have any answers?

    219 views and nobody can shed any light to what's going on with his business? :lol: That's absurd.

    he demands options on every fight he makes alot of fighters and promoters don't like to do business like that so they freeze him out, plus he gets no tv dates

    He started losing fighters to other promoters and he couldn't secure cards. Apparently it stems from the fact he still tries to run an antiquated version of negotiating fights. Complete with the ability to hold a fighters rights for the next few fights, something that works when you have a loaded stable and a great relationship with the networks. Not so much when you've been reduced to putting on shittier versions of Latin Fury.

    I checked out DK promotions, and yes, his stable of quality fighters has dwindled. It's amazing how a man can fall so fast. I always thought he was a better promoter than Arum, but I guess people got tired of his schtick.
