Why the Corrales family benefits?

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

That was a fine. It doesn't cover the lost revenue. Just think if you were a computer programmer in high demand and were commissioned to create a program at your regular rate of $1million dollars.

You spend your time and resources developing the program for 3 months and the day your to upload it to the network they say your program is no longer needed.

At this point you would'nt sue for your full $1 million?

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.

that's ironic, I think I remember other fighters coming in at jr ww for a lightweight title fight, oh yeah... DIEGO CORRALES

Casamayor did not lose money by Corrales not making weight. how could he pull such an amazing financial trick? Did he hire Goldman Sachs to advise him? No, he got in the ring and beat Corrales.

Casamayor gave Diego the same courtesy Diego gave Castillo when Diego STILL fought.

The first time is understandable both Casa and Diego acknowledged that by still fighting but its blatantly disrespectful to miss weight on a guy in consecutive fights.

In business terms Castillo was in breach of contract and Corrales decided to hold him accountable.

there is no breach of contract for failing to make weight in a fight. parts cannot be held responsible if they fail to take an action damaging their health.

there could be other types of misconduct in Castillo (and Corrales) behavior, but not breach of contract

This is essentially a 'fundraiser' to pay for Diego's surviving family's living expenses. WTF, I know women who are in similiar circumstances(single mothers), but were not privy to to the Corrales' wealthy lifestyle and are not asking, nor would they receive any charity dollars because of their situation.

Why should boxing fans, and anyone else for that matter, be asked to subsidize someone's lavish lifestyle just because their family member(s) where famous(and rich)? I'm sorry that Mrs. Corrales lost her husband and sole breadwinner, but there are many who are in similiar and worse situations who would not be able to have 'fundraisers' because of their plight.

**** you........if she needs help then she needs help ...**** face.......damn she is probably left with outstanding bills that crazy corrales left behind.....R.I.P. Deigo

People love to talk about promoters and managers ripping off boxers but often fail to discuss boxers having irresponsible spending habits and failing to put money away for a rainy day. I personally think most boxers end up broke because most of them were raised in poverty, and in this kind of environment planning for the future is often not emphasized or important. The reality is that many poor people live only for the day and do not think about the future. Imagine putting a million dollars in the hands of someone with this kind of mentality and they are sure to wastefully spend without investing a penny. As the old saying goes, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

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.

The boxing contracts have specific weights put into them. Making this weight is a contractoral obligation. Castillo didn't fulfill his contractoral obligations what would you call that? The contentious issue is whether or not missing making weight was forseable and whether Castillo was being negligient or maliciously clandestine in his failure to inform his opponent or officials about the possibility of him not making weight.

Corrales gave Castillo a free pass on the first fight and still fought. He was right in not risking his health on someone who has failed to make weight for him twice in a row.

Corrales is a warrior and I'm sure that if Castillo had informed Corrales a week or two before the fight that he wouldn't be able to make weight that Corrales would've still fought Castillo at a catch weight.

what i said... making weight in itself cannot be ground of a lawsuit, because it can damage the fighters. What you mention is the ground for a lawsuit.

that is just your wishful thinking, nothing to be sure about.

the fact that stays is that Corrales did NOT take the fight and sued Castillo, Casa took it and beat Corrales.
