The man on the other line sounded over-the-top. When the guy you’re talking with is Don King, you just give way, pull out a pen and a paper, listen and take notes.

In a short chat with His Hairness Wednesday, courtesy of rival promoter Bob Arum, King told the Bulletin from Florida that he has big plans this year with Ricardo Mayorga of Nicaragua as his pawn and Manny Pacquiao as their ultimate target.
You see, King is joining forces with Arum in staging a March 12 slugfest involving his fair-haired boy Mayorga and Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and King is optimistic he and Arum will join hands again.
“We are going to make (Manny) Pacquiao versus Mayorga,” said King in his high-pitched voice immediately after being handed over the phone by Arum.
Pacquiao is under Arum and King believes Mayorga will secure a date with the Filipino pound-for-pound king with a smashing victory over Cotto.
“I am giving you breaking news,” hollered King, who met up with Arum in Hollywood, Florida, where Cotto held his media workout, reiterating the possibility of co-promoting Pacquiao-Mayorga.
King and Arum are instrumental figures in the 1975 Thrilla in Manila featuring Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier and before hanging up, King told his interviewer that he “misses Manila so much.”
