"In May 2012, James again raised his objections to IBF Treasurer and Board Member David McCullough, who allegedly responded with a “if you don’t keep your mouth shut, we are going to fire you.”
"The IBF used to be in such hot legal water that for four years its operations were supervised by a federal overseer. That started back in August 2000 after a jury in New Jersey convicted founder and president Bob Lee on six of 38 counts of racketeering. He was videotaped taking bribes to fix rankings and sanction fights. The convictions were for tax evasion, money laundering and interstate travel in aid of racketeering.
During the trial, promoter Bob Arum admitted on the stand that he paid $100,000 in bribes to Lee in order to get him to sanction a bout between heavyweight titlist George Foreman and Axel Schulz of Germany. Arum said he was guilty of poor judgment."

"But Beavers and another I.B.F. official, Donald William Brennan, considered King to be the promoter with the most influence over the I.B.F.'s rankings. In one taped conversation, Beavers said Lee was ''essentially working for King.''
Now Haymon is the man with the money, how has this changed? How did Haymon fighter Martin get his shot?
