          What an ungrateful SOB? DK did what he had to do in order to give him his chance at redemption.

          In business one must be willing to compromise and make concessions. You have to give a little in order to receive a little.

          Had Don king got everything he wanted then chances are there would have never been a rematch.

          Don King gave him another opportunity but he blew it Now whose fault was that?

            Nothing said by Agbeko surprises me.

            I remember a conversation with a former belt holder from the 90s, who was promoted by one of the big promotional names. He stated that after a not getting a decision that should have gone his way, his promoter told him they needed his opponent to win that one and he would be repaid with another title shot. He got that next fight and won. I'm surprised his promoter actually made good on his word after initially robbing him.

            It's a dirty business..
