    It was ALWAYS CORPORATE MIKE, Don King just did a great job not letting you know about the Corporate Side Of Boxing! Mike Tyson Punchout and the Mike Tyson Commercials, fight Exclusively On Showtime back in the day that was all CORPORATE BUSINESS!

    Promoters picking opponents that his fighter can make the most money with ALWAYS BEEN APART OF BOXING going back to Jack Johnson not fighting other Black Fighter because it wasn't profitable back then. Same with Ray Robinson not fighting Charley Burley so Boxing haven't really "CHANGED" it is just more money to work with now

      Agree with Tyson but I don't think it's just boxing it's through out sports. With the price of tickets Most tix to big events are just corporate write offs and attracts that type of crowd who is there to be seen and not see the event.

        Less lowlife criminals involved in boxing (and sporting events generally), the better.
