Top Rank is still up there with GBP as the top promoter in the game ... Don King greedy? You should speak of dead people like that.
MMA is threatening nobody ... when Wlad can sell 60,000 tickets for a fight with Ruslan Chagaev, boxing is doing ok.

Their livelihood is being threatened by MMA, that's why they are doing it now.
People are just tired of greedy and corrupt men like Don King and Slippery Bob.
Bob is old, he'll be gone soon and his greedy ways will go along with him. This vulture is still ripping off boxers, he can't possibly spend all that money he took from boxers who gave up blood, sweat, and tears. He won't be able to spend all that blood money before his time comes with the Grim Reaper.
