    I feel bad for boxers under Don King. He robs his boxers of so much money. Oscar got around 10-11 mil for the Mayorga fight. Mayorga only got 2 mil and Don King ended up with like 6 mil. All fighters whose promoter is Don King will always be robbed by him.
    Mayorga got ****ed sideways, in a fight that made ridiculous ppv buys he only got 2 million, I know that's alot in Nicaraguan terms but if he only got 33 percent then DAMN, like I said ****ed sideways.

      It's a trade off. Pay someone to manage/promote you or do it yourself. If you do it yourself every second you are promoting or lining up your next fight is time out of the gym. If someone does it for you, it's more workout time but it costs money.

      I also read somewhere that King would have it written in that his son got a cut too for something. And I read that his daughter got 10% of Tyson's purses for running the Mike Tyson Fan Club.
