    Doubters can type "Don King leaving HBO? by David Greene" into a Google search for the story.

      He's been dealing with Showtime, too, with Kelvin Davis, Lamon Brewster, Kali Meehan all appearing recently. Even if he's not doing his own network, he knows that Showtime is hungry for name fighters, as is evidenced in their showing Wlad and Cory Spinks recently when their last fights had been on HBO.

                Two-thirds of the planet we live in is covered by water; most of the rest, by s___t coming from the likes of Don King, Arum, Murad, Soliman... There's just so much of it, we stink all the way to UrAnus!!!
