REPORTS SAY KING AND HIS COURT MAY BE OUT OF TYSON'S CASTLE

          MIKE TYSON is "nearly broke and owes the government
     some" $7M in unpaid income taxes, according to Wallace
     Matthews of the N.Y. POST.  Sources said that Tyson "blames"
     DON KING "for his money woes."  Tyson reportedly "became
     suspicious" after WWF officials told him that King collected
     $300,000 for the rights to Tyson's likeness, and is
     "expected" to end his association with King, who has
     promoted all of his fights "for the last decade."  Also,
     Matthews reports that Tyson has fired his co-managers, JOHN
     HORNE and RORY HOLLOWAY.  Matthews adds that Tyson, who
     "soon will announce a deal for a hip-hop record label," has
     "been in contact with" other promoters, and been speaking
     with MAGIC JOHNSON about the possibility of Johnson guiding
     his career "if and when he is cleared to box again" by the
     Nevada State Athletic Commission (N.Y. POST, 2/4).
