Nate Campbell: "Don King Can Kiss My Ass, F*** Him"

[koboy]

Yeah, I believe I could have. Look everyone knows that King does not have TV dates, does not fund his own PPV's anymore and puts on a very limited number of shows. Nate won the titles in March of 2008. He was to defend against Guzman and Guzman did not make weight, he got stripped of the belts for not making weight against Funeka and he was an opponent against Bradley on a GSP card. King only signed this guy to protect himself in case Diaz lost. It worked. Any adviser or manager who couldn't see that is either blind or whoring his fighter out. Belts are not as important as long term money. Short term money only makes "advisers" rich.

You're full of ****. Don King would eat you alive after he sticks his boot up your ass. Try being in the same room with Don King and negotiate and see what he does. Don will pressure psychological and PHYSICALLY to get what he wants. Read Billy Costello's story and you'll see what I mean. What you want is not what you will necessarily get. Don King is one of the smartest, well connected and most intimidating promoters in the biz. The way you talk, you won't last 10 mins with King. Guaranteed.

Damn, I'm caught. I just wish I could remember where I put all the millions Don gave me for the Campbell contract. It must be around here somewhere.........

[masta]

I'm surprised he's gonna stay out til' next May. That's a long time.

[DiegoFuego]

Nate Campbell crying again? I'm shocked. Biggest crybaby in boxing

[Access_Denied]

Why fighters still sign with this guy is beyond me. Don King will never change especially with this economy it's gotta bring out the little ounce of greed he has left.

[bacardishots]

Don King is a piece of ****. These days he's like a rap promoter looking no name mc's. Making them sign these bull**** contracts. King's history with fighters speak for itself. I'm surprised no one has killed this mutha***a yet. King and people like Panama Lewis should be dumped off in a deserted island so they can rott to death.

QUOTE=BIGPOPPAPUMP;6292269]Tampa, FL: Former unified lightweight champion and current jr. welterweight contender Nate Campbell will likely sit out the remainder of his contract with Don King, which expires next May 14. Campbell held back nothing when asked about the situation: [details][/QUOTE]

True that. A lot of people talk smack about how a fighter is ****** or dumb for signing with this promoter, this and that. If you've been following boxing for a long time, you would know that most fighters and their managers have their hands tied and are usually forced into bad contracts because there aren't too many choices available for them. Promoters run the world of boxing and as bad as DK was, he was one of those who run things. Sometimes a fighter has no choice but to sign with a certain promoter, in the case of Nate, it was to get the Diaz fight. And guess what, he got the Diaz fight.

The only positive about this is that DK is on his way down and hopefully young fighters will shy away from signing with him.

Go sign with the UFC and you'll find out how bad it really is. The highest paid fighter in UFC gets $ 440 K and Dana White gets the rest of the ppv and ticket sales, which according to him, easily compares or beats boxing nowadays. $ 440K for the top fighter! That's effed up!

the top fighters in the UFC make ~3 million a fight
