This should amount to a whole lotta nothing.

Two absolutely irrelevant characters, with one borrowing cash off the other to hold for a photo....

King probably wanted 10% on top when Broner handed that shit back

This is line with Broner’s intelligence level.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for all King's tap dancing around all non-boxing related subjects with Broner. I'd love to hear King's forced laughs as Broner tells hilarious stories about pussy/jail/clubs ect.

I’ve never seen someone with such little charisma and magnetism get recycled so many times.

His boxing talent is nothing spectacular, he’s not entertaining, he’s not likable…what is it?

When he came up, they needed a new Floyd. He sort looked like maybe fitting the bill. So they pushed it hard. It never transpired in any way, and it's only still going until the last of them get their money out.

A funny side story, Kevin Barry once played me a 45 minute phone call he had recorded when Don king phoned him trying to sign David Tua. Don was laying it on super thick with an extra helping of mayo. I t was some of the funniest shit I've ever heard in my life, by the end of the call Don was inviting them all to his daughter's upcoming wedding

I'd love to hear that sales pitch!

Neither Tua nor Barry seem like the kind of guys who'd be swayed by a bag of cash like Tyson or Broner.

Very cool New Zealand boxing connection btw. That's the kind of product differentiation we have here at BU that the other forums simply don't have!

When Kevin and David first flew out to meet with Lou Duva, I think Main Events were based out at Atlanta at the time. Long story short they had a connecting flight I believe at L.A. Somehow as they are going through the arrivals gate two of Don's men come up to them out of nowhere, suits and sunglasses on, some 'Men in Black' shit. They tell them Don would like to see them and if they'd like to get in the limo waiting outside they would put them on Don's private jet and fly them straight out there and then. Obviously they didn't take the bait, but that is some straight up gangsta shit and Kevin to this day has no idea how King knew they were arriving into the States. Boxing in the 90's must've been so fucking great to be involved in.

Yeah, King and Arum had a helluva situation for decades.

That's an awesome story. Makes me like King more.
