    I know for a fact he has ***ed over Jr Middle IBF World Champ Roman Karmazin of Russia reallll good. The guy is a world champion but as of this moment he is pretty much hungry. Feel bad for him.

    King is known to give THE absolute best to his fighters in Vegas and everywhere during fights, then when its time to give the fighter his paycheck, he turns around and deducts alllllll these fine expenses from the fighters check, and we all know King was comped with all of that good stuff. Ya, pretty sad.

      I think it's real fu$%ed up what he did to Mayorga, Too fight a top name fighter on PPV & make only 2 million is rediculous. He should have gotten 8, especially after that beating he took cause i doubt that anyone would want to watch him fight again(I sure wouldn't & I'm Nica, so what does that tell you?). That should have at least been his big payday.

        He got beaten by a great opponent, and you don't wanna see him fight again? That is a ****** statement Mayorga is a very exciting fighter to watch and he can still beat top 10 guys.

          you know, Don King is just a hustler...My thing is that if after all these years of doing his thang..boxers still fool with him...thats not his fault..blame the getting ****ed part on the boxers themselves...I admit King is not at all worried about the history and future of the sport...but one has to also admit that he puts together the best fights out there today...

            Mayorga was never a true Pro he was an amateur, and not a very good one. His career was just based on 2 wins, after the pounding he got from Tito I dont think he's the same fighter, before Tito I think he could have lasted a long time against DLH, but that was a fight that completely destroyed him. Personally speaking I dont want to see him cause he talked sooo much bullsh$%, and couldn't back it up, IMHO I think alot of peopl e feel the same way.

              Boxing wouldn't feel the same without Don King. I feel sorry for all the fighters he has skanked but surely they must all know what he's like by now.

                  Mayorga got 2 million at start then something like 20% of sales from PPV fans above 600,000...

                    "Mayorga, who earned a guarantee of $2 million but had threatened not to fight if he were not paid more, gets a share of each pay-per-view sale above 600,000."

                    There it is.
