LEAD: Trevor Berbick, the former World Boxing Council heavyweight champion, received at most $700,000 of his $2.1 million purse to fight Mike Tyson, with $1 million of the money going to the promoter Don King and his son, Carl, Nevada boxing regulators say. Half of the $1 million went to pay advances improperly made to Berbick by King, and the other $500,000 went to Carl King as Berbick's manager, members of the Nevada State Athletic Commission said.

The other $400,000 was attached by the Internal Revenue Service for back taxes. Berbick was knocked out in the second round of the November fight, losing his title to Tyson.

Max, apparently, is not aware of the long arm of the law’s dismal won-loss record against the elusive boxing promoter. The last time the cops made a charge against King that stuck was in 1967, but then they found him still standing over the warm body. When a man named Sam Garrett was slow in paying $600 he owed, King beat him to death. For trying to collect money owed in an improper manner, King served three years and 11 months at Ohio's Marion Prison, where he learned to misquote Freud and Voltaire and Nietzsche and that ilk.
Witherspoon's second reign as a Heavyweight champion saw him travel to London, England and defend his title against hard hitting local Frank Bruno in front of 60,000 fans. After a tough, bruising fight, Witherspoon came from behind to stop Bruno in the 11th, retaining his title. After the fight, Bruno would receive a million sterling from his promoters. Witherspoon, due the same amount, devastatingly received less than $100,000 after Don King's creative accounting and deductions.
