King Settles Norris Case For 7.5 Million
Promoter Don King agreed to pay former champion Terry Norris 7.5 million dollars after jurors debated claims he stole money from Norris. Payment includes 3 million by next week and the rest within 15 months. Norris accuses King and former manager Sayatovich of shortchanging him during his career. Norris, 154 pound champ in the 1990s, beat Sugar Ray Leonard in 1991 and retired in 1998 amid brain-damage concerns. The Mike Tyson suit against King remains unsettled.
