    Don King, Bob Arum, Gary Shaw, Dibella, Golden Boy, etc. all are scumbags and in turn, they are all ruining the sport. It's well publicized that Bob Arum likes to keep his fighters in house but so does Golden Boy. And Bob Arum has completely wasted the talent of Nonito Donaire, like Don King wasted Julian Jackson, Tim Austin and Mark Too Sharp Johnson. Also, Bob Arum tells us fans we can go f**k ourselves. All this **** needs to stop. We need to destroy all the promotors and have all boxers belong to one organization. Then, maybe, we could all get the fights we want...

      Poor Mayorga just a journeyman fighter with a following trying to make some $$$ in that MMA fight and Don King literally stole a payday from him and Din Thomas at the last minute.

      I swear when Don King dies I had better not seen any condolences posts because he is a scumbag who has done nothing but steal money from young kids trying to make a living off of their athletic talents.

          I for the life of me can't not understand why any boxer would still sign with Don King.

              Devon Alexander will likely find out the answer in a hard way.

                  King just continues to show people how much of a P.O.S. he is and how he's managed to stay relevant in boxing is beyond me. This guy has been doing shady **** like this for the last 30+ years and fighters still sign with him knowing this.

                  Just sucks that Mayorga is getting the shaft in all this. He's quite a character and the kind we need in boxing. His **** talk and crazy antics add a whole other kind of excitement to the fight. Although he was never as technically skilled as the rest, his granite chin, ferocity in the ring and sheer determination got him farther in the sport than most. A throwback fighter for sure.

                  He's be really dumb to sign that paper because that is the only leverage he's got. It may not sound like 1 million dollars is a lot to don king, but knowing his greed, that may as well be 10 million dollar$. So if Mayorga persists, he might get out of his contract or better yet, but i highly doubt, get a pay raise to fight JCC jr.

                  Take comfort in knowing dong king most likely has a seat reserved for him in hell!

                    He's got that drug dealer cunningness in making deals.

                    Plus let's not act like most of all fighters are rocket scientists.
