Malignaggi Says He Had A 'Slave Contract" With Dibella

[check hook]

Lou did well in promoting Paulie....a feather fisted one handed fighter was able to become world champion.....he also got to fight in main events with superstars like Cotto and Hatton.....I bet Junior Witter would've loved that so called slave contract Lou had him sign....I bet Kendall Holt would want that deal as well ....Paulie is gonna be a steppin' stone for the GBP young guns.....Ortiz might get Paulie next

i agree...DiBella is the reason Paulie was able to get this "new" contract with GBP. If DiBella hadn't done such a good job promoting him and getting him big fights, would he be worth what golden boy has paid for him??.....i doubt it.

More fighters will keep going to Golden Boy because of stuff like this. Like it or not I think they will become the monopoly in the future they hope for, the good news is they are willing to make fights between their guys if others ain't cooperating.

JMM vs. Katsidis - is the fight everyone wanted and they got it done.

Khan vs. Maidana - Is a fight people wanted and it got done.

Mosley vs Mayweather - outside of Pac vs May it was what everyone wanted.

Why hasn't Arum done:

Juanma vs Gamboa

Donaire vs Montiel?

Every promoter ain't perfect but with the reputation of treating the fighters fairly is what will take Golden Boy over the top and most the top fighters will flock to them.

AND the fact that they **** HBO up the butt

Whats Malignaggi complaining about? He is an overpaid actor who didn't even deserve most of the money he got. His skills are overrated, and he has no power at all.

"The contract I got is a contract I am very happy with," Malignaggi said of his new deal. "It's a contract that makes me realize the slave contract I was in for nine years. They gave me pretty much everything I wanted. I don't want to harp on the past. I had a nine-, 10- year relationship with Lou. I have some fond memories, but it was always business."

I thought Lou did pretty well for him in getting him the Hatton and Khan fights. Didn't he make like a mill in the Hatton fight? Wonder if the relationship ended on a sour note..........

Nah, he made around 250K for the Khan fight and Khan made over a one million.

And what promoter doesn't?

HBO likes taking it in the a$$

Paulie's a he should be happy to make even that. Did Lou also help Paulie make money by being the spokesperson for that Punch-out game for the wii? Paulie played the character of that boxer in the commercials, yet Paulie punches like a sissy unlike the character in the game. The character in the game punches like Pacquiao. Is Paulie going to accuse the character of steroid use too? Fudging ugly guido.

He made 400K in that fight. Not bad at all!

[War Dinamita]

He made 400K in that fight. Not bad at all!

Alright, I knew he made under 500K. He probably ended up taking 200K home after taxes, fees, buyout, etc.
