If it is the IBF, you make sure King is your promotor or you come from the Latino countries in South America.

The WBA, WBO and WBC are a lot easier to deal with, you just need money and you can get a mandatory shot.

Allegedly of course, Don King is as honest as a £100 note

Seriously, you try and get an agreement amongst the two camps, then if that does not happen, the alphabet organization will ask for sealed bids for the fight, and a percentage split of the biggest bid is arranged, normally about 70/30 to the champ.
