I just read why Castillo was so mad with Gary Shaw after the fight.

Turns out Gary shaw *****ed out of their bet and refused to pay Castillo the $100,000 dollars they had bet that he would knock out Corrales.

Thats what went on in the ring when Castillo went to collect.

Someone should break Shaw's kneecaps.

if this is true, then that's pretty weak to go back on a bet

That is pathetic if true...

wow, thats low....to give your word and make a bet with money of that magnitude and then pull out. And here I was relieved that atleast he was getting back some of the 120,000 he got fined for not making wt. This will get around and maybe in the future nobody will make any bets with shaw.

Just curious, but if this happened in las vegas where gambling is legal and there were people who bore witness to this bet.

isnt technically his word and shaking castillos hand on it a legally binding gesture.

i know you can make side bets in poker games and you are legally required to honor them, how is this different??

I suppose it depends when the bet was made, if it was before the weigh in then Castillo clearly broke the terms of the agreement. But if it was after he Shaw is a *****(Which we knew anyway)!!

i thought he bet him at the final weigh in where he simply had to make the agreed upon 147, am i mistaken??

I'm not sure, but if thats the case he should pay up. there's nothing worst than someone who doesnt back it up.

No matter when they made the bet, Shaw let the fight go through automatically keeping their bet alive. He should man-up and pay up.

i wonder if JLC wouldve paid up right away.

only a hypothetical cause obviously he wasnt considering the possibility of being knocked out

if i'm correct the bet was made after the second weigh-in, so Shaw should pay the scale cheat. the next fight should be at 140 and Shaw should go double or nothing, that's what real gamblers do.
he's wrong for not paying, a bet is a bet. plus whats a 100k to a promoter, all they have to do is rip off one of their fighters. they do it ll the time anyway.

how does a promoter get more cash then the fighter? it blows my mind....

i think someone should rip Shaws nuts off and shove em down his throat.

i believe this would go a long way towards putting promoters in their place

The bet was made after Castillo weighed in Saturday afternoon. Shaw made the bet thinking Castillo wasn't fully prepared but since he knocked out Corrales I guess it's a different story. Castillo told Shaw in the ring "pay me" then Shaw walked off and Bob Arum told Castillo seconds after that he would pay Castillo the $100,000.

If this is true, then it is very ungentlemen like.

u bet cash , u lose cash, u pay cash"-big al - blood in blood out

If its not on paper its not legally biding.

First off the idiot has no place as a promoter betting on the outcome of his fight - It has a very negative reflection on the whole industry, and puts unecessary pressure on his fighter.

Secondly he should pay up and get stuffed. All you see him do is complain.

Whenever I view posts that deal with news or rumors, I'd prefer to be referred to the source of the information, so that we don't just post away like speculative talking heads on material that may or may not be true.

Wrong.

Terms of acceptance are engaged as soon as one party even nods their head in agreement.

Its called a mutually binding contract.

Ya I hate ppl that dont pay up....

I bet Shaw didn't even want to bet, that's why he pulled out, because it's not like Shaw can just refuse the bet or it would look EXTREMELY bad. Castillo had major advantages, so...

Castillo should've known not to bet a promoter and expect the promoter to pay up.

Shaw is a promoter, so by nature he's a cheat. Screw all promoters. Well, I don't like DLH much, but I have to say he's probably the most honest promoter right now.

his reputation is at stake, i don't think he'll risk losing it just for 100 grand.

darn, he gambles, he should pay.

it's not about that....there was a time when a mans 'word of honor' meant something. Not anymore. He may not be legally bound to pay but his word means **** and everybody knows it....not good for a promoter.

the guy looks out of shape. Anyways, he is liar and sore loser. At least ppl now know not to bet with him. I bet he would sue a guy if he won a bet and the other guy wouldn't pay.
