His parents should be sued for his Christian name, O’Shaquie??? WTF?

What is wrong with a good strong name like Alf?

Wait he didn’t seek arbitration? No mediation? Oh I got it...

yep it appears he actually had a “force majeure”, you're right others could learn to add such a clause rather than assume one after the fact ;-)

Nobody likes a courtroom so it gets settled, sooner then later due to it is a boxers short time to get the prize fighting money he spent (usually) most of his life developing and preparing for. Who did what wouldnt matter in a courtroom. It is a matter of who has the best attorneys and connections in the judical system. You know most lawyers dont like courtrooms they just use it as a last resort to get to negotiation that they want.

I wonder who tried to take him from Lou?

Fooked up situation. Without a TV deal a promoter can't really do much right now. Obviously I get the fighter wanting to keep it moving when he's living in an area thats putting on fights, but he's forced to sitting on his hands sucks too. Can't really hate on either sides feelings on this.
