Brewster-Golota update!

"I'm im Memphis right now putting it together for Golota and Brewster and hopefully Mayorga or somebody," promoter Don King told *********.com yesterday. King, who has been investigating numerous venues for the March 12 fight, ruled out St. Louis (where 15,000+ seats for Spinks-Judah have already been sold) because the venue is not available. King also commented on his plans for a heavyweight tournament. "If we can get Klitschko when Rahman knocks out Vitali, then the tournament is in full bloom because we've got all four titles and all of the contenders and the mandatories. We put them into the group and we can really put on a tournament that will give us one undisputed heavyweight champion of the world."


.......This is the kind of **** that scares me when it comes to Don King. He is gonna pull out all the stops to take total control of the heavyweight division. This is a scary fight for Vitali and it has nothing to do with what the Rock brings to the table. I am really concerned with King constantly talking about geting Vit "out of the way" so he can control the heavyweight division. A mysterious accident for Vitali that either severely injured him or even killed him would not surprise me. Don King is one scary ass dude.

You Klit fans need medication for your paranoia.

The guy controls the heavyweight division when it is at it's worse.
I still think that an undisputed champ what help as much as people think it will. We need a champ who can brings people into boxing as far as fans go..

come on man, i dont think he is gonna kill the guy, lennox lewis wasnt with king and he came out allright

A mysterious accident for Vitali that either severely injured him or even killed him would not surprise me. Don King is one scary ass dude.

never thought about it like that.. sucks for vitali.

never thought about it like that.. sucks for vitali.


....King is probably in touch with the guys who poisoned Yushenko right now. :)

Not for nothing but someone is getting poisoned or ****ed by the referee/judges that night and it won't be Rahman.

NEW YORK (AP) -- For once, Don King kept quiet.

Instead of pontificating, the boxing promoter stood stiffly in the background as his lawyer discussed a defamation suit King filed Wednesday against ESPN. The attorney said King is entitled to damages of more than $2.5 billion.

The lawsuit says a SportsCentury segment aired last May accused King of being "a snake oil salesman, a shameless huckster and worse," claimed the flamboyant promoter underpaid Muhammad Ali by $1.2 million and claimed King -- convicted in a 1967 beating death and acquitted in a 1954 killing -- "killed not once, but twice."

Most of the material in the program had been printed or broadcast earlier about King, who has spent much of his career in court, but the wild-haired promoter said he had just had enough.

"I just felt that this was the straw that broke the camel's back and I can't take it anymore, and I'm going to fight back," King said at a news conference. "I seek justice."

King, wearing a garish American flag tie and two flag lapel pins, then quietly stepped back and let lawyer Willie Gary answer questions.

Gary called the SportsCentury segment "a story designed to orchestrate and create an impression that is not there," and said the network had refused to retract parts of the program that offended King.

The suit, filed in state court in Broward County, Fla., names ESPN and its parent company, Walt Disney Co., among the defendants. Also named are Disney-owned ABC Cable Networks and Advocate Communications, a Florida-based cable and satellite system.

"We have not seen a copy of the lawsuit, so we are not in a position to comment on it," said Mike Soltys, ESPN's vice president of communications. "However, SportsCentury is a Peabody- and Emmy-award winning series of more than 250 biographies that is widely respected for its journalistic quality and integrity."

The suit also says SportsCentury accused King of threatening to break the legs of heavyweight Larry Holmes and of cheating boxer Meldrick Taylor out of $1 million from a fight and then threatening to have Taylor killed.

"It was slanted to show Don in the worst way. It was one-sided from day one," Gary said. "Don is a strong man, but he has been hurt by this."

King has represented fighters from Ali to Mike Tyson, and has been sued by several of them -- including a $100 million lawsuit filed against him by Tyson. King paid $7.5 million to former middleweight champion Terry Norris in late 2003 to settle a suit. King sued former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis for libel.

King also has beaten federal charges, including tax evasion and fraud. He served nearly four years in prison for the 1967 beating death of a man who owed him money. In 1954, he killed a man who was robbing a numbers house he operated in Cleveland, but it was ruled self-defense.

The reason King wears his hair so high is to hide his horns. I wish somebody would stick a blade up is ass.

lewis had some memorable moments against king's fighters:

- KO'd by McCall
- beats McCall after a mental breakdown
- questionable draw against holy
- KO's rahman in rematch

lewis also wisely decided not to fight some king fighters unless he absolutely had to... he let both his belts go rather than face ruiz or byrd... problem for VK is he's not in a position to do that, he has to face king's guys to unify the belts and become recognized as the undisputed champ...

It is rumored that Don King has mob connections so I can see how you fear for Vitali's safety.

I heard that one time Don King ate a tire.

I heard the tire called him the devil and Don was hungry so instead of ordering a mob hit and deep sixing the tire that way he simply ate the tire for breakfast with pancakes and eggs.

You better watch out or else King is gonna sue you and everybody else on this forum. :D
Seriously, there is an anti-monopoly act for businesses and I think there should be one for boxing. The only true winner in the last 6 HW fights, except Klichko's, was King - no matter which boxer wins, King has a payday. Sucks, huh?

king despises vitali because inside, king acts like a little boy.

he's upset vitali never signed with him, and came to america with his own people

I hope King does take control of the heavyweight division, that way he can stage a tournament and we can have ourselves one heavyweight champ

I also heard that Don King had connection with the Mafia. In 1992 or 1993 he had to stand in the court for testifying John Gotti, the head of the Gambino family. Wisely King made use of the fift amendment (what ever that was) and didn't say any words, otherwise he could be big trouble.

I am really wondering, how would the boxing world be without Don King. Coud it be much cleaner? :confused:

that 'one HW champ' will be DK, don't you see?

the puppet he controls may as well be Kali Meehan!!!
If DK is runnin it, he could make Glass Joe the 'one HW Champ'

I wish that if DK wins that court case, they make him agree.. "mr. king, do u solemnly swear to leave boxing the $%*& alone forever and ever once you take this money?"

:D

So far the venue is The Garden for March 12th right?

What Vitali needs is some of that old-school eastern block russian mob backing, I'm sure they would only cost about half as much as anybody Don King could get to send after him. Or better yet Klitschko should get some of those Spez-Naz russian soldiers or whatever they are called, them dudes are some badasses I'm sure they would love to get some of DK's **** on their knives. **** Don King, **** his lawyers, **** all the heavyweight titles that he controls! The worst thing for boxing right now would be for King to control anymore ****, IMO the last thing the public wants to see is Don King being anymore involved than he already is!

RIGHT ON!!! :)


(The Russian Mob probably has their hands deep in sports betting, casinos, etc already :) )

Well the Russian Mob is the one mob that can assassinate Don King. The rest probably make too much money off of King's scams so they would want him around.

king had somethign to do with wlad being poisoned in the brewster fight better watch out vitali
