I got to thinking if I was Manny Pac and Floyd was using Don I would not fight him. If you have a fight close with Floyd there is no way in hell you will get the decision. So what would you guys do?

Of course I would. Now would I fight Floyd if Don King was MY promoter? That's something I would have to think hard about.

Of course I would. I'm a fighter. I'm not paid to make excuses, not fight or demand a fair world.

Good point. I just know that Don would pay off some of the judges. Look at ODH and Tito. We all know that those guys were well lubricated.

Probably right. So factor that in to your fight plan and approach.
When in London 110 years ago Sam Langford was asked by a reporter if he tought he could get fair decisions in Europe being black and an American. His answer? To hold up his hands and say "I brought my judges with me."

I'd fight Mayweather if Don King was his promoter. I voted no but I just changed my mind. Reason being, he'd be the one getting ripped off where the purses were concerned. Now, as far as the fight goes, this is is my take. If the fight goes the distance, I have no chance of winning. So, I bring out my little bag of tricks. Black Bottles here, low blows there, a little Pedroza style here, anything and everything to try and stop MW before the final bell. I'd have as much respect for the "Marquess of Queensberry rules" as Don King had in making sure I got a fair shake. I could almost gurantee Floyd would be fighting with one eye (Thumb) which I'd get in the first round. An eye for eye and bullshit for bullshit.

I'd fight Floyd if Pol Pot was his promoter. I'd be getting enough to at least pay my mortgage for the year.

Simple fact: You fight against a DK fighter, judges may have been paid off. But in the end you get paid and if you put in the proper performance you can legitimately claim a robbery.
You fight as a DK fighter, judges may have been paid off in your favor. But in the end, you may not get paid and you have to deal with people forever saying you got a gift.

I don't get why Mayweather wants or needs to associate with Don King, he's doing just fine without him. I guess birds of a feather flock together.
