Joan Guzman: "I Was Wrong, and I Apologize"

Cancellation insurance only covers the hard costs (venue, travel, promotion, etc.), it doesnt cover purses.

So basicly the fighter is scewed, but the promoter can get back some of the money put into the promotion. Is that right?

The promoter is screwed too. The network wont pay, and the site fee money wont come from the venue. The promoter can ultimately recover most of the spent hard costs, but not all of them.

The fighter's recourse is to get a judgement against the breaching party (in this case Guzman), and if he ever fights in the US again then money can be recovered from future purses. Or, his promoter can offer a settlement, and make prorated deductions from that fighters future purses.

The punishment for not making weight should be a fight with Tye "****in" Fields with UFC gloves in a 10x10 ring.

didn't he apologized he is leaving the lightweight division?

girls are always unpredictable.

men should understand.

Guzman must walk around at about 180lbs or something. It's ridiculous. To be moving-up in weight from super-feather to lightweight. But, he still comes in 3.5lbs over. He doesn't sound very professional. Surely if the fight had gone ahead campbell would have knocked him out, if guzman was actually that drained!

I was wrong and I apologize. There is no one else to blame for me not making the lightweight division weight limit of 135 pounds for my WBO, WBA and IBF title bout against Nate Campbell this past weekend. [details]

Guzman knows he's finished after this. Nobody wanted to fight him before. No way in hell he ever gets a big fight now, which means no Showtime and no HBO. Not now, not ever.

He doesn't deserve a big fight anytime soon. Saying "I'm sorry" doesn't change what happened. I can't believe some peoples casual attitudes about Guzman's bull**** as if he's the one we should have sympathy for. The one who really lost was Campbell. **** Guzman. He misled a lot of people with his dishonesty.

I don't know why but this post is funny as hell.

He aplologized like a man and like a man I will accept it. Hope he learns from this and grows because of it.
