Did Don King really rob his fighters? how good of a promoter can he be .....

for up and coming fighters.

I dont remember who said this or if I am just making this up but "Don King will promise his fighters 20 million and only give them 3, while other promoters will promise them 400 thousand and give them all of it"

Tyson sued and King settled out of court for $14 million.
Ali sued King and was awarded $50,000.
Witherspoon won $1 million.
Terry Norris sued him and King settled out of court for $7 million.
Byrd sued but settled for being released from his contract.

King doesn't have the pull in the industry anymore. HBO and Showtime have done their best to muscle angle him out of the game since the mid-90s to varying success.

Fighters that sign with DK Promotions are plagued with inactivity. They fight once a year (if that) and almost always try to get out of their contract early.

Fighters these days would be smart to only work with Don as a last resort.

Don King stole almost as much money from his fighters as Bob Arum did! Promoters are theives with a suit and a smile.

Don went to prison for manslaughter after he stomped someone to death, but he should get thrown back inside for grand theft boxeo.
