Ricardo Mayorga Sues Don King, Carl King in Miami

%foto2%Former two division belt holder Ricardo Mayorga has filed as federal lawsuit in Miami, Florida against promoter Don King, alleging that King failed to arrange fights for him. He also alleges violations of the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act with claims that King set up a conflict of interest when he set his son, Carl King, to be Mayorga’s manager. Mayorga says that he had a contract that guaranteed him three matches from June 2008 to June 2009, unless he became a world champion. King only offered him one fight, against Alfredo Angulo on February 14, 2009. Mayorga says the purse for the bout had to be $400,000 unless the parties agreed otherwise. He is trying to get out of his contract with King. “Our client is being held in a state of professional limbo,” said Mayorga’s attorney, Carlos Gonzalez to the South Florida Business Journal. “He hasn’t boxed much lately because Don King hasn’t gotten him any matches.”
