Comments Thread For: Andy Cruz Files Lawsuit Against New Champions Promotions, Cites Breach Of Contract, Violation Of Ali Act

[DClefthook]

Best case scenario in 2024: ESPN drops boxing and top rank follows Monster Inoye into an Amazon deal. Pbc and Tr are finally under the same banner. KingRy is released from Golden Girl and signs co promotional deal with Al. Devin finally realizes is only viable option for American stardom is on Prime. Dazn/MR is irrelevant and who cares what they do. Oscar gets dropped by Dazn and has noowhere to go. Oscar is then found slumped over in a dirty New Mexico hotel room with ******* and oxytocin, a lip filler starter kit, two 12 yr old run away immigrants and a room full of shytty spatulas.

Can we quit bringing up this Al is a manager & promoter bs all the time still lol. A manager can put together a fight card. A promoter can be outsourced to do specific fight card duties. I believe Tito Mercado Jr is doing this now with his dad, Tito Sr, managing him while outsourcing promotional duties thru his company Fight City. SRL had his management do similar back in the day I believe. The only difference between that & this Al thing is Al scaled it up beyond one boxer. Its the same thing tho.

That nitpicking aside lol after how good Andy looked in his last fight it'd probably be +EV to be in a position to get his present deal killed & have Eddie present a new offer or even go to the highest bidder as there might be renewed interest for him. It'd be great if he could get that lucky, but with boxing being boxing I'd bet against things being that clean.

Haha. This is how bad the other companies are compared to PBC. Eddie and Oscar were so giddy when Showtime went out of biz because they just knew that all of Al"s fighters were going to have to cross the street and sign with them because they had no network. But much to their chagrin not one fighter crossed over, instead they opted to stick with Al to get the Amazon deal and are now waiting for the second network deal to drop. Thanks Al Haymon! Hahahaha

Eduardo and matchroom better clean this up or everybody is going to lose plus the fighter may get detained or deported

Or even worse, he'll sign with PBC, a real company that doesn't screw over their fighters with shady backroom deals

Didn't Arum take a cut from Lopez when he lost to kambosos on dazn?

And for the second paragraph didn't Kathy duva and Arum sue haymon for violating the Ali act yet all Kathy did was exposed his slave contracts and Arum forced him to work with him?

Ahhh finally this clown pops his head up again. Kathy Duva sued and yet where is Kathy now. Promoting some eastern euro fight in the multi purpose room of something school in Jersey. If Al has slave contracts then why is he the only one that is never taken to court by his fighters. Oscar got sued by multiple fighters including the current one by King Ry. Arum has been sued about 100xs over his career. Eddie and MR have been involved in multiple lawsuits by their fighters. And yet you all are crickets about that but always want to come back to a lawsuit against Haymon that was tossed out of court. Typical!

Sounds like they did a co-promotional deal with Matchroom, which would have been fine. Happens all the time. Problem for them is that a "promoter" is not permitted to take percentages of a fighters purse, only a manager is allowed to do that. And if the allegation that they were not a licensed manager is correct, then this will be a slam dunk for Cruz. It also creates a problem for Matchroom because if these NCP clowns are not licensed promoters either, then the CA commission could potentially kill the Matchroom contract as well, and then Matchroom would have to do a new deal with Cruz.......


The funny part of the story was where it said that acting as a promoter and manager at the same time is a violation of the Ali Act. Well that hasn't stopped Haymon from doing that exact thing for the last 8 or 9 years. But nobody cares lol

Damn you did well in the first paragraph but just had to go off the deep end in the second one. It's funny how all you key lawyers are privy to more info than a United States District Court. Remember Bob and Oscar sued Al for violation of the Ali Act and not only did the case get thrown out of court it got laughed out of court as well. But whatever suits your narrative have at it loser. Hahahaha

Exactly that!

Rodriguez acted as both a manager and promoter—a violation of the Ali Act, though sadly commonplace for people in that same position to exploit loopholes to double dip into a fighter’s purse.

Maybe NCP should be pretending they're just "advisors" like Haymon.
