The bout is due to headline a Pay-Per-View event this Saturday at Casino Miami Jai Alai in Miami, Florida.

I don't know what is more surprising...

That King is still going?
That Makabu doesn't have a visa and the fight is a couple of days away?
Or that this is PPV?

Surely Don isn't making money out of the fights he's picking up?

He probably is, only because the fighters won’t be getting paid.

It amazes me guys still sign with Don.

Why did he fly overseas so late?

What about acclimatization?

Don King's finances are likely as interesting as Trump's.

And also shocking is that King was once half of the promoter powerhouse empire shared only with Arum who is still a huge part of the promoter empire while King sc****s the Dead Sea for any little fish he can find.

Wow!.. and its for the WBC title. without Makabu

Therefore the eligible fighter who wants to get a crack at the belt must sign with King.
