If Don King had been concerned about anything more than making a buck he could have stepped in and cleaned things up. I know Mike was a grown man, but everyone around him saw the kind of trouble he was in. Everything about Mike at the time was a desperate cry for help. After Cus died he latched onto the nearest thing to him that was even remotely like a father-figure and it was a shame that he chose Don King. Mike had leeches attached to him. He needed tough love and people to bolster him. As soon as his personal life got shaky, so did everyone around him. No wonder a one-hit wonder took him out.
