Check out this headline from fight news:
Castillo's purse to be withheld!
A Nevada Federal Judge today has granted an attachment in favor of Gary Shaw Productions and Diego Corrales’s Estate of up to $1,200,000 of any monies to be paid to Jose Luis Castillo. As a result, Castillo will receive $0 for Saturday's Ricky Hatton fight. Shaw and Corrales sued Castillo after he failed to make weight for their rubber match in June 2006. The case has not come to trial, but boxing attorney Judd Burstein was successful in having Castillo's purse held in escrow pending the resolution of the lawsuit.
This is major bullshit....... if anything it should be Toprank who should be the one absorbing the blow for not allowing castillo to move up when he wanted to many years before. This makes me sick.
Castillo is probably the last one I'd worry about getting hurt by not throwing back. Look at the guy's chin. His lower mandible is roughly 20% of his body mass. Corrales caught him with bigger punches than anyone else ever has, and still didn't put him on the canvas, he just had him out on his feet.
Anyway, no pro boxer would do something like I suggested, and I suppose if it were to come right down to it, I probably wouldn't either. Considering that the fans would be the ones who were cheated (having already paid their money). I do, however, think he should make a point of bitching about it during the ringside interview after the fight. Fighters get screwed routinely as it is, they should NEVER fight without getting a good paycheck. Whatever judge ordered that ought to have to step into the ring with Castillo.
I'd show up for the fight, but when the bell rung, I'd just stand there and let Hatton beat on me

Uh, I think that plan needs a bit more thought.
wwim really wondering what planet mu guys are on.
he doesnt fight back = he loses, gets fucked and then dragged thru the streets.
he fights back but loses = he loses, he doesnt get fucked and may get another payday.
he fights back and wins = he loses but he may get a few more paydays.
i know which one id gor for.
plus im sure seeing his mexican compatriot, MAB carrying hattons belts will
spur him on even more. gonna be a war IMO and hopefully a late ko :)
I'd show up for the fight, but when the bell rung, I'd just stand there and let Hatton beat on me until the ref called it. And then in the afterfight interview, I'd tell everyone watching exactly why I just stood there. "No money, no swingy".no heady, brain damagey, ribs brokeny and pride shatteredy
or some shit

Shaw is a stupid bitch.
Funny how he never paid JLC after they made that bet. What a scumbag.

His purse has not officially bin taken !!!!
i meant top rank should take responsability for their fighter, especially when they had forced him to stay at 135........
They didnt force JLC to do anything, he wanted the Casa and Corrales fights at 135.
You cant sue the promotional company if their fighter doesnt make weight, thats just illogical.
Thats retarted.
Did Corrales get sued when he came in overweighgt for the Casa fight??
If Casa didnt man up and take the fight then this would be quite the ironic statement.
Anthony (New York): Can you comment on the decision to withhold Castillo's entire purse for this fight? I think they should have waited for something like that until after the fight and that this could be a real distraction for Castillo.
SportsNation Dan Rafael: (2:04 PM ET ) This is a terrible internet rumor brought on by a Web site's awful reporting. His purse is not being held. Don't believe everything you read on sites that are not professionally run.
Man someone should do a documentary on the Castillo/Corrales fight and the events that occured after. You cant make this stuff up.
Both put on the fight of the century.
Castillo wins the second fight amid contraversy.
The third fight is called off because of his failure to make weight.
Corrales cant make weight for his third fight with Casamayor.
Due to being bankrupt, Corrales fights on and gets destroyed by Clottey.
Corrales dies in a Motorcycle accident.
Due to lawsuits from the third Corrales fight, Castillo is forced to fight for free.
No. Castillo wanted to be at 135 just as much as his manager and promoter did. 135 was where all the money was at. Arum asked Castillo if he could make 135 still and Castillo said he could. This is all on him. You think Arum would agree to let Castillo fight a third time with Corrales after Castillo didn't make weight for the second fight without asking his fighter if he was sure he could make 135? Use some common sense...
fucking hypocrite.....your posts are bullshit, youve just been aded to my ignore list....
Castillo will fight on if this happens.............u guys are forgetting that they are fighting for the WBC belt. He can cash in in the future with that. What else is he going to do quit boxing? This is his job and having the belt will be a priority
No way JLC lays down for Hatton. He needs money and the only way he can guarantee himself another payday is to win this fight. If he loses this fight and it's not even close, he's not going to get another big money fight. There is no one else who can bring the money like Hatton at jr. welter because it's a terrible division. Castillo can't make lightweight and he'd get destroyed like Chico if he came up to welter. I think Castillo will give the best performance he possibly can tomorrow night. The question will be whether it's enough because the guy has been through a lot of wars and has been pro since 1990...
I agree i dont think it will make a difference Castillo will obviously be pissed, but at the end of the day it shouldn't change things cuz if he looses hes fuked no more big pay days and hes already skint by the sounds of it.
No, it was Shaw you idiot. The main event ended up being Vic Darchinyan against some bum. Darchinyan is another of Shaw's fighters. Do you even watch boxing?
