    I don't have time to continue this, it's a waste of time. I have important things to attend to.

    Do some research on Don King.
    Of course I'm repeating the same thing while you try to change the subject. You're hilarious. One more time for the record:

    You said he keeps fighters inactive for fun since he's all about power. LOL

    I'm saying he can't get them fights because he's been blackballed and that it would make no sense for him to invest money in a fighter just to watch the value of his investment depreciate.

      The fact that King shelves his fighters indefinitely displays his indifference to making or not making money for his fighters and himself. Guillermo Jones sat idle for two years when he could have been fighting and making decent paydays in Germany (the hotspot of CW boxing). Kings business practices do not make financial sense and buttresses Freedom's argument that he does it for control and power

        If King had always done that then you'd have an argument. Obviously he hasn't. I think the more likely reason why he doesn't get fights for his fighters is because other promoters and managers don't like dealing with him. No one as money hungry as King (as old as he is, still running his company) is indifferent to making it.

          The last few years hasn't Don been dealing with his wife's cancer before she died? They were together for something like 50+ years. I'm sure that took a toll on him and lessened his desire to make fights.

          Not saying his business practices shouldn't be scrutinized.

            Based on what evidence? Crushing cans? There's no evidence whatsoever he's a true big puncher.

              King knows what will happen to his boy against Wilder. Stiverne is a good boxer but Wilder would level him within a few rounds and then the world should finally start to believe that Wilder is the real deal.
