In a Florida state court, boxing promoter Don King claims he was shown falsely in an ESPN "SportsCentury" segment broadcast May, 2004. Mike Soltys, ESPN vice president of communications said he could make no comment.
Mr King and his attorney, Willey Gary, filed suit in a Florida state court in Broward County Wednesday. The suit seeks
damages of US$2.5 billion from ESPN, Disney Co., and others involved in the broadcast.
Most of the content of the program has been presented previously in other venues.
However, Mr King said he's had enough, and although he is a strong man, this program has hurt him "... and I can't take it anymore, and I'm going to fight back."
