    How did Don King steal money from Tyson?

    I don't get how Don King stole $100 Million from Tyson without Tyson noticing it? Tyson stayed so long with King despite the fact that King's history of stealing from fighters was well known publicly. Other fighters signed with King years after even though it was well known he was a thief. Why didn't Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet, whoop Don King's ass and get his money?

      Mike said in his documentary that he did beat King's ass outside of a hotel. He said King never reported it. Not sure if it was a $100 million ass whipping though.

          It was a lot easier to keep things private without social media.

          Not a chance in hell that would happen today.

              Same as how some fighters still do now, Don King is not alone he was just the Loudest and made the most and took the most money but a lot of these Promotes are still Crooks!

              Lets just say, when you're Promoter starts become Buddy Buddy and Friends with your Manager..FIRE YOUR MANAGER ASAP!

              You should want Promoters to HATE your Manager because that means your Manager is keep the pressure on your promoters ASS and is watching everything and promoters hate that and they don't want to have to open their Books for ANYBODY for obvious Reasons

                Well, Judah has taken quite a bit of punishment over the years, to be fair.

                But you imagine Don King pulling the race card with his fighters. That's probably why King was at the top of the game and Arum was a footnote.

                    He put a gun to his head and said “give it up n@@@a.”
