I'm not sure where I saw it, maybe it was on a Don King documentary but Tim Witherspoon went into detail about how Don King screwed him out of his money.
A lot of fighters that sign with King are forced into hiring King's son Carl King as their manager so that he gets more money. If I am not mistaken, Carl King's percentage of the purse was normally higher than most managers'.
King used to allow fighters to stay at his house when they were training but then he'd charge them high amounts of money for rent and training expenses.
There was other stuff too, can't remember all of them.

Mike probably didn't read behind the words in certain contracts he was signing...add along Don probably taking huge percentages of the $ Tyson was earning...
Ask Tim Witherspoon...Don took huge percentages out of the money Witherspoon should have been earning...and when Witherspoon did something about it Don blacklisted him from fighting a lotta other top heavyweights...
According to the Life & Crimes of Don King, Don also cheated out Ali of $1 million bucks as well...and Don screwed some of his previous business partners of his...
