Attorneys were already huddling late Friday. Before King crashed the Rahman party, Mike Tyson had filed a suit against the WBC and then dropped it when the WBC said it would strip Rahman of its title if he fought Lewis before he faced the WBC's No. 1 contender, who just happens to be Tyson. He wants the acronym to strip Rahman of the title because of an IBF rule that prohibits rematch clauses in contracts. HBO already had spun a lot of talk about how Rahman was close to agreement for the disputed rematch with Lewis, who just happens to have a contract with the network. If you listen very closely, you can hear legal briefs being prepared by attorneys for Lewis and anybody else who has been anywhere near the widening mess.
Anarchy is about to bust loose all over again.
That's when King is always at his best. All he has to do is reach into his pocket and flash the only real thing that has ever been understood. You can order up what ever you want. Just remember, it's cash on delivery. Reportedly, Rahman, a devout Muslim, had just returned from an eight-day visit to Mecca.
