Tyson defends Don King during court deposition LAS VEGAS NEV. (AP) — Mike Tyson defended promoter Don King on~Tuesday~as a friend who is “helping me blossom into a man.” Tyson said he had heard other fighters complain they had money stolen from them by King, but dis. missed their complaints and said King has always treated him fairly “I'm more independent now in my first few month’ with Mr. King that. I ever was with Bill Cayton or (the late) Jimmy Jacobs,” -Tyson said “Basically, he's helping me blossom into a man.” The heavyweight champion was grilled about his relationship with King during the ond day of a de positiff Tyson gave in a lawsuit filed in an \attempt to break his contract with Cayton, his estranged manager. Tyson said he didn’t trust King be fore knowing him and “believed all the bad stories everybody was writing about him.” But he said his opinion changed last spring as he was, going through marital difficulties with actress Robin Givens and managerial problems with Cayton. I didn’t get any support from anyone but Mr. King,” Tyson said About the (Michael) Spinks fight was when! got to know him well a we developed our friendship.” King was in an adjoining room with-reporters watching Tyson give his deposition via closed circuit tele vision. The flamboyant promoter who calls himself Tyson's adviser, counselled the heavyweight cham pion during breaks in the proceed ings. Tyson-diseounted-claims by other fighters, including former heavy weight champion Larry Holmes, that King didn't act in their best interest and took money from them. ‘Larry Holmes is a rich man now and he can say anything he wants,” Tyson said. Earlier Tuesday, Tyson said he didn't know King received $3 million for promoting -his fight against Spinks and wasn't aware that Spinks earned $13 million for the fight Tyson, in the second day of depositions in his lawsuit against Cayton, said he was unaware of thé financial arrangements for last June's fight, one of boxing’s richest ever. I just go in there and fight and hopefully I'm guaranteed a fee, Tyson said. “I don't know anything “I just know what I read in the papers and I don't believe all that.” Tyson, shown dotuments that indicated he received $11,578,000 from the fight, said he didn’t know if he'd gotten all the money he was due. Asked if he believed he was en titled to more money, he said. “Once I get my records, I'm sure-to find out.” "The heavyweight champion was unresponsive to many questions posed by Cayton’s lawyer, Thomas Puccio, and grew testy on several occasions Tyson said he was angry at Cayton for having a “slavemaster mentality” and trying to tell.the fighter how to handle his finances “He wouldn't let me do anything, that I wanted to do,” said : “At one point, he wouldn't let me buy the house I live in in New Jersey.” Asked by Puccio if Cayton tried to stop him from buying the $5-million mansion because he thought Tyson was paying too much for it, Tyson replied: “If the house is worth $1 million and I'want to pay $10 million it’s my prerogative to pay what I want. I shouldn't have to struggle to buy my own house.” Tyson is trying to break a contract he signed last February with-Cayton ~and Jacobs. An earlier suit by Cayton against Tyson was settled when Cayton agreed to drop his manager's fee to 20 per cent from 33 per cent of Ty son's earnings and give the fighter more control ower picking opponents.
