King is almost irrelevant. And that is a good thing. King is bad for boxing because when he promotes a champion, he will not allow anyone to fight that champion unless they sign a contract agreeing that King will be their promoter should the challenger win. That is why the Klitschkos refuse to fight a Don King fighter.

This practice gave him monopally in the 90's and helped king screw over fighters while making himself rich. In fact, Buster Douglas had to be King 2.5 million dollars out of his Holfield fight, so that king would allow the fight, which he was not promoting.
