Fair points but ignorant of the point in fact. Tyson was a finely tuned and trained fighter who needed to keep busy. King doing nothing but playing a shell game. It's no accident that he ended up promoting the more stable Holyfield after swearing that Tyson didn't need Holy after the Ruddock fight. King adept at playing both ends against the middle while setting up his next string of victims.
Tyson has a string of sexual assault or paternity cases before Desiree ever crooked her pinkie his way. King knew exactly what he was doing taking him there. That little trip to Indiana cost Mike his next 5 yrs of boxing, a **** conviction, and settlement of 3 civil suits that set him back 10-20 mil, all applied to his future earnings when he gets out of jail and starts his new career as a 3 ring circus clown.
The November title fight with Holy just paper that means nothing to a sociopath like King. He also held both the contracts on Ali and Foreman after their title fight. The rematch never happened in spite of Ali claiming each was offered 5mil in his infamous Playboy interview weeks later and Ali wasn't even melting down on him like Tyson was doing.
King marches to a different drummer, sorta like you and Poppy Oz. With King, it's not about the accumulation of money, it's about conning money out of people, and then setting up more cons and on and on making wasteful use of money, but that's what hustlers do. You of course just using your minder to blow smoke.
