Don King vs Mike Tyson The Truth behind the Money

[@brettg1440]

Larry Holmes said it best. This might not be an exact quote, but its close. "I always knew DK was going to rip me off, but the bottom line is that even with him ripping me off I STILL made more money with him than I ever would have without him".

[@Allan-et5ig]

George Foreman: "Don King paid me every cent he owed me."

[@bubz75]

Well said

[@flipflop4396]

Well thats truth, Don King played huge role in boxing and except profit, unlocked some hidden doors to Mike during his time...best example is when Mike came out of prison, he fought 2 literally bums, Mcneeley and Buster Mathis, and his next 2 fight were for belts Bruno(WBC) and Seldon(WBA) now how that was even possible? Some guys work their a.. of to get chance to fight for belt, yet Tyson got it after 3 rounds against nobodies...

[@jasonlinton9902]

I am just curious. Before tyson or any boxer went into the agreement with this Don king, for any fights, did tyson or other boxers know how much he will get paid and how much will go to don king, before signing the deals? Come on, the boxers themselves knew about this. I am not backing this don king but i just dont understand why most of the boxers accused Don king of stealing their money when at the first place they agreed on the terms before any fights arranged by don king. I mean, the boxers themselves can always disagree if they found that it was not fair to them . That's why i am curious about this. Or after the boxers themselves floundered all their money ( hundred of millions ) on women, cars, ill advised investment etc, they started to blame Don king of stealing their money.
