Why the Corrales family benefits?

[Jim_Davis]

That would be more than 95 percent of all boxers.

Not Hamed though

[Derranged_]

Corrales gave us some big fights and memories so why not give back in memory of him...............with that said............I am disgusted on what they are trying to do to Castillo. Lawsuits and **** because of the weight issue. Castillo paid his dues and he is in a very tough financial situation. As many of you know he had to borrow money from his promotor just to pay fines. And when Corrale's wife kissed Hatton that was the most fkn disrespectful thing I saw. It was almost like she was thanking Hatton for beating Castillo.

I think she was thankful for Hatton dedicating the fight to him(Diego). It's not like she was giving him any tongue or anything...

3rd fight Castillo comes in at 139.5lbs (that is what guys weight-in as jrWW). Corrales doesn't want to fight a jrWW, I can't blame him. However Corrales has expenses i.e. Sparring partners, gym fee's, mortage etc.... Corrales lost money as a Direct result of Castillo not making weight. He should get back the money he would've otherwise received.

What were the 250000 fines used to pay for..........weigh in fees?

**** That ****

I feel sorry for no man or woman who allows themselves to be cheated and exploited. I have even less sympathy for Corrales because he knew what was going on.

Often that's not the case. To be a top level fighter, you must spend a huge amount of time training, running, watching your diet, etc. That is why boxers get managers and promoters, so they have more time to train and not worry about that stuff. Sadly, they are often robbed blind.

I have heard stories of guys who had no clue what their account numbers were! Some had no idea what banks they had money in! They had someone taking care of paying their bills and stuff. If the one they hired was not honest, they got robbed there too.

All of that is true but like I said its still HIS (DIEGO CORRALES) FAULT. I don't give a **** how much I train or none of that **** I am going to know whats going on with MY HARD EARNED MONEY. Think about for whatever reason his family has for their money not being right his kids and wife is ****ed. There is no excuse for that ****. I FEEL NO SYMPATHY FOR A MAN OR WOMAN WHO ALLOWS THEMSELVES TO CHEATED.

I'm not trying to start ****, but do you train with active fighters? And have you ever seen or signed a fight contract? I've been in my trainers office when contracts are faxed over. He looks it over and calls in the fighter. Usually the fighter glances at it, asks like if the money and opponent is what he was promised, and then signs it and goes back to working out. Now my trainer is honest, but you can see how easy an ******* could rob these guys.

Another thing to consider, I've seen my trainer have to deal with promoters for a few weeks off and on just to hammer out 4 round fights sometimes. Imagine the negotiations for big PPV fights!!! If the fighters had to handle that, and all the other stuff managers, etc do; you do realize how much less training time they would have?

Bull**** scam

Sounds like Mrs. Corrales needs to go find herself a job just like the rest of us.

Any working stiff that gives one red cent is a dumb ass in need adult protective services themselves. Folks need to get real

Anyone that doesn't know their own account number is an idiot and deserves to get ripped off. There's an old saying "Trust no one when it comes to your money." I don't care how busy you, never assign the responsiblity of collecting and distributing your money over to another human being because you stand the greatest chance of getting screwed. The fighter is supposed to collect the money and then write the checks to the manager, sparring partners, etc.

While it may true to trust no one with your money, almost everyone does it to some extent. It's life. Look at those Enron employees. They (like most people) had others managing their retirement funds. That's totally normal, and those people were intellegent, professional people and they got blindsided. That ******* Lou Perlman, who 'discovered' all those late 90s Boy Bands is on the run for stealing millions in investors money.

Someone said earlier about how like 90% of boxers are broke, many before they retire. The *******s who rip them off have done that **** for years. They have it down to a science.

Generally, unless a boxer has a strong(and intellegent) family around to watch his back ALL THE TIME, he is gonna get screwed. PERIOD. Without that support, it's like sending a beautiful young woman to Hollywood alone on a bus to hit it big. Odds are it is gonna turn out real ugly.
