    I'm not concerned. It's hard to make money in MMA and he'll find that out pretty quickly.

    I've never really followed boxing so...why is Don King such a bad guy? I know he has bad hair and used to manage(promote?) Tyson, thats about it.

    For starters he is a murderer. He put the boots to some guy who owed him money in the 60s and killed him. He went to jail for a few years over it. That is the kind of person he is. As a manager and promoter he swindled Ali, Tyson, Lewis, and many other fighters out of (hundreds of) millions of dollars. He's been sued a hundred times. He's also been linked to the mob for decades.

    Okay yeah, thats pretty bad. Knowing Dana though, he'll probably try his darndest to crush whatever org Don King becomes involved in.

    +1 Don King ruined Tyson and robbed him of millions as well as many other fighters.
    He's a used car salesman and a slimey lawyer rolled into one.
    I've been waiting for years for this guy to die.. cause that's the only way he'll get his grimy hands out of boxing. Problem is, there's too many other greedy and untrustworthy guys managing boxing now too so it wouldn't matter.
    I hope this MMA league fails and fails hard.
