DAVID TUA VS DEMETRICE KING THIS SATURDAY ON MAIN EVENT

...which reminds me of an old Russian expression.

Gold sinks, shit floats.

I like that saying Never heard it before.

It is a good one for describing people like Don King and his good mate Donald Trump. Neither have done anything of worth,
both are billionaires.

I read an article in the paper the otherday and Demitrice King said he has not recieved a cent of the NZ$10,000 he was promised for the fight.

Michigan heavyweight Demetrice King says he still hasn’t been paid for his fight last weekend against David Tua. King is due $10,000 for his ten round decision loss to Tua in Manukau, New Zealand. According to the New Zealand Herald, the hangup is a dispute between NYC-based promoter Cedric Kushner and and NZ promoter Inga Tuigamala. King signed a Gotham Boxing contract for the bout so Kushner appears to be on the hook, but Cedric told the Herald he had no financial involvement in the fight and signed King on the instructions of Tuigamala, trusting Tuigamala to take care of King’s purse. Tuigamala, who is Tua’s cousin, says it’s a “contractual issue” between King and Kushner. Meanwhile Demetrice King waits.

Could be a black eye for Kiwi Boxing.

They didn't call Briggs "Shannon the Cannon" for nothing. In a 59 fight career he won 45 fights by KO.

And about 35 of those were against guys who could be KO'd by a stiff breeze.

Look, no doubt Briggs was a big puncher, but his opposition 95% of the time was awful.

A prime Tua stopped a much higher calibre of opponent.

Unfortunately he never won a world title.
