Fair enough, maybe i used the wrong word there but he certainly ripped off quite a lot of his fighters. Paying Ali 50grand for the Holmes fight isnt what i would call 'going about his business', thats just being a c**t. Several others have taken him to court and won, over him 'going about his business'. OK, some have got rich working with him when he had a stronghold on a lot of the titles, but thats only because if they didnt go with him then they would not have got a shot to begin with. When Witherspoon fought Bruno, his take home pay was 90grand out of a 500grand purse. Bruno got a 900grand purse and he was the challenger!!! That may be 'going about his business' but its certainly not looking after his fighters business
