Hopkins, King claims denied!
A Panel of the American Arbitration Association has just issued a decision in connection with Bernard Hopkins and Don King's claims against each other arising out of their promotional relationship. Hopkins sued King seeking in excess of $1.5 million for King's failure to promote the full number of bouts which he was required to promote under the three year agreement. King countersued seeking in excess of $20 million claiming that he was damaged by Hopkins' refusal to participate in a rematch against Felix Trinidad, thus leading to Trinidad's first retirement, and for Hopkins' premature termination of his promotional relationship with DKP. The Panel denied Hopkins' claim stating that both parties to the promotional agreement failed to negotiate reasonably with respect to the bout which King did not do for Hopkins. The Panel denied King's claims stating that with respect to the Trinidad rematch and claims for a continuation of Hopkins' contractual obligations.
