Here is a few details on King and I was the one to bring the subject up but there really is no way one can compare even twenty fighters claiming that the Klit bros are cheap to the likes of Don King. And if you noticed all the fighters who sued king won.

Lawsuits and fraud prosecutions filed against King

In 1954 King killed a man who wanted to rob one of his offices. The sentence was not guilty due to self-defence.

In 1967 he was sent to prison for life for murder. King killed an employee who owed him US$ 600. King did not stop striking the man when the police arrived. The victim died five days later in a hospital. Later the punishment was reduced to manslaughter which resulted in 15 years of prison. After only three years and eleven months King was released from Marion Correctional Institution in Ohio on parole in 1971.

King has been involved in several litigation cases with boxers that were focused on fraud. They include a 1980 trial in which Muhammad Ali sued King for underpaying him $1.2 million for a fight with Larry Holmes. Ali settled for $50,000. Tim Witherspoon sued King and won $900,000. Mike Tyson sued King for $100 million, alleging the boxing promoter cheated him out of millions over more than a decade.[9] It was settled out of court for $14 million.[10]

In May 2005, King was sued by Lennox Lewis, who wanted $385 million from the promoter, claiming King used threats to pull Tyson away from a rematch with Lewis. Terry Norris settled a lawsuit out of court against Don King for breach of contract for $7.5 million. In early 2006, Chris Byrd sued Don King for breach of contract and the two eventually settled out of court under the condition that Byrd would be released from his contract with King.[11]

Hmm so Lewis wanted a rematch with Tyson (which he stated numerous times when discussing his plans before the Vitali fight along with a possible Jones jr fight) yet decided to retire rather than give Vitali a rematch. Just saying

I agree with the poster who said they both should be stripped for not fighting each other, its bull****.

Kotelnik is a self hating white, of course.

Isn't it obvious? Kotelnik hates white Europeans.

I didn't realize that humans were suppose to like each other just because they happen to be from the same country. Wow, how nice would that be and I guess someone simply forgot to tell this to the Koreans.

Anyone who speaks the truth about the Klitschkos is either ***ish, racist, or a Haye fanboy.

Since we know Kotelnik is not a ***, or a Haye fan, the only logical explanation is that he is a self-hating racist.

He's always been an uncle Tomchenko

Sounds like you are the one making racist statements. Simply because what would it matter if Kotelnik was ***ish? And considering the fact that the Ukraine happens to have a substantial ***ish population he may in fact be ***ish. And yes I am a fan of the Klit brothers and sometimes they do things I don't agree with. And I will say it neither Solis or Chisora deserve to be fighting for the title and these fights are little more then a joke and I cannot take them seriously. I will also say that I like Kotelnik and the fact that he does not think highly of the way K2 does business will not not change that fact. I will also admit that I am no fan of Hayes but it has nothing to do with the color of his skin. It just has to do with the fact that he has had a very overrated career that has turned into somewhat of a carnival side show act with a lot of smoke and mirrors.

[ShoulderRoll]

It's a shame that Kotelnik hates the color of his own skin.
