Hello Evren,

A while back there were a few things that came out of Don Kings Archives, mostly undercard fights from the late 1980's early 1990's which surfaced underground one which I recall involved Miguel Arrozal vs Eloy Rojas, Arrozal was a hard punching Fillipino who provided champion Eloy Rojas with an exciting 12 round fight, a friend of mine was helping out Arrozal and got a copy of the complete fight from Kings Archive. Don King caught wind that the fight was making the rounds and was very annoyed that the fight surfaced on the black market. I could not say with any confidence that he has lightened up on his rigid views regarding his film archives however as we have seen with other archive collections when there is a changing of the guard you can bet that some of the archival material will find it's way to collectors such as you and I for the right price! Regards Mikey Capp

Hi

I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Don. I'm going to approach him like a brother. I have a way with people like him.
