'Only in America' can two African
American multi-millionaire businessmen with similar
checkered past team up to form what could make for
the most powerful tandem in sports and entertainment.
Love 'em or hate them, Don King and Michael McCant
aka Billionaire Catt met recently in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida in the mega boxing promoter's office.
There was quite discussion,
total silence and even some shouting in a meeting
that left many, including veteran sports journalist
Kenneth Miller, in the waiting room, eager with
anticipation as to what the final outcome was after
the intense meeting. Though they did not disclose,
many believe that King has chosen McCant to carry
the torch and the legacy that took King 30 years
to create. Both men came out of the two-hour long
meeting with very noticeable smiles on their faces
and gave the inclination that the meeting was very
successful.
McCant, who has had all eyes
on him since announcing the opening of his Billionaire
Catt record label and film businesses, is an avid
boxing expert.
McCant knows the sport inside and out and is an
excellent candidate to succeed in every aspect of
an icon such as King.
McCant's knowledge of boxing
goes back 30 years, as long as King's legendary
reign.
When asked some of his favorite fighters, McCant
immediately mentioned Marvin Hagler, Salvador Sanchez,
Marco Antonio Barrera, and of course Muhammad Ali.
He also says that he enjoys more modern day fighters
such as Floyd Mayweather, Wladimir Klitschko, Samuel
Peter and Ricky Hatton.
He stated that he highly respects
the old warrior Julio Ceasar Chavez and the late
Diego Corrales.
McCant's 'Billionaire Catt Presents' record label
has received five star ratings nationally with many
music insiders saying that Billionaire Catt may
be the hottest label they've ever seen as one unit.
Catt has given tremendous focus to his artists Storm
P and Clap Cognac of New York, and A-3 of Houston,
along with his label DJ, Superstar Jay.
Catt seems to have one of the
hottest ears in hip-hop because Catt plays hit after
hit to his staff.
We concur that the Billionaire Catt movement is
a dynasty to come, but what really raises eyebrows
is that soft drink, liquor, video games, and clothing
companies all have been vying to co-brand with Catt,
making him the most sought after brand of the next
few years.
Now with his venturing into
the boxing industry, there is no doubt why this
young man's name is Billionaire Catt.
