Comments Thread For: Vanes Explains The Fallout With Don King Since Golovkin Fight

[GodOfBoxing]

I think he can be an attractive fighter again/ still. Vs GGG his lone KO loss. And....their certainly been worser defeats in history.
He needs to start at a lesser scale. His agent scan the world ratings and he simply start new. Pick up a first comeback win. And then a second. Put off going w/any budding mega stars for a time. He is courting ruining his good record. Fight a strong fight again down the line.
Far as his language and DON KING. Vanes hurting his own image only. He better off now to quiet it ALL. Talk only to a lawyer or his council.
And....if he does "turn it around" he will need to acknowledge how he lapsed and forgot his blessings. Apologize perhaps for not giving GGG better but praise the man for the star that he is. Add a note how...."I could of fought him on a better day....but I am forever grateful for that opportunity".
It's his image at this point.
The TAXES let your pro handle that part.

He thought Don King would suddenly change? LIFE IS NOT A LIFETIME MOVIE! He has had to have taken some serious punishment that would allow him to make these kind of choices knowing what everyone said about Don King. Anyway sue Don King if he said you made x amount of dollars on a 1099 but didn't give it to you.

Life is hard. It's even harder if you are ******...

Vanes needs to call me. I have a firm that resolves IRS AND STATE tax debt and issues.

I'm lost.. didn't he announce retirement which was basically a salute to Don King? Now he's talking about fighting again and that DK screwed him over? Uh..ok.

As much as I agree with everyone here I also think that Vanes was mismanaged from the start and never had a good team on his side or at the very least had an adviser who would put a cork in Vane's outbursts. If you're Canelo level you can get away with badmouthing orgs and promoters, Vanes just forgets he's nowhere near that level.

Vanes got 3 or 4 shots at a world title, lost every one of them, and then somehow expected an additional world title shot to be given to him.

King sells him a dream about being able to get another world title shot quickly, Vanes sits on the shelf for basically two years ($300k on the front end makes that go down easier), and proceeded to get throttled on week's notice.

And Vanes still thinks he should be fighting for a world title in his next fight, lol.

Vanes ****ed Vanes, and anyone trying to shift that blame elsewhere is doing that man a disservice.

In the last few days, junior middleweight Vanes Martirosyan (36-4-1, 21 KOs) has been venting heavy over his fallout with veteran promoter Don King. Vanes is on the verge of retirement from the sport, after sitting on the shelf since getting out knocked out by then middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin in May 2018. Vanes came in as a late replacement for Canelo Alvarez, who failed a drug test.

Don is the King of snakes

Sad to see fighters treated this way, im shocked anyone in this day and age would even consider king as an associate let alone promoter. The guy is a savage.

He was warned.....

"Everybody said that Don King is a piece of *****, a bad promoter, a snake. The reason I went to him alone was because I wanted him to do at least one fighter good, at least be good to one person in your life. I tried to go against everybody and I got really screwed over," Vanes said.

How do you blame a snake for being a snake ?

[GetSlappedSilly]

The last person any fighter should ever sign with is Don King. Everybody knows hes a lying, thieving snake. Thing is i remember when Vanes first signed to Don King after leaving the PBC he was irate cursing at people on twitter for telling him he was foolish for signing with King. He was really tryna justify signing with a known crook. It was really bizarre. No surprise it ended this way. Sucks he had to learn the hard way after everybody warned him. Hopefully he can salvage whats left of his career and still make some decent $
