[ANDROID_DOES]

i know he did. what i found funny is goldenboy trying to steal fighters under contract to a harvard educated lawyer. Donkeys my man . hahahaha

they already failed at it once.

God damnit. I was ready to see Donaire in some Fighter of the Year type of competition. **** this feud. I really hope he fights two more times this year.

some how i feel gbp aint dumb abough to do this again....i think arum ****ed up//

You'd think lmao.

Apparently everybody on NSB is a lawyer now, who has connects with Team Donaire, GBP and Top Rank - well that solves it, *insert name* ****ed up.

Well said all around.

Its the same. Its called tortious interference. Donaire like Pac at that time had an existing and active contract with top rank when Golden Boy signed him. Had Pac didnt went back to Top Rank, it would be top rank who would be suing in 2006, instead of Golden Boy.

The only difference is that Donaire looks like will be sticking with Golden Boy. But then again its too early to tell. Who knows.. we might get a press release from Donaire that he would be sticking with Top Rank, and it will be a dejavu of 2006 again..

On Wednesday, Golden Boy Promotions announced the multi-year promotional signing of WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire. For the last few weeks, Donaire has claimed that his contract, which runs out in June, was invalid because Top Rank has not satisifed the terms of the deal. The sticking point being claimed by Donaire, is a contract point which required Top Rank to provide him with three fights per year.

damn... this will f**ked up nonito's career. Nonito should handle this issue with extreme care.

Get advises and opinions from legal experts, Nonito.

What the hell is up with GBP trying to sign Filipinos under contract with Top Rank? Did they hit Nonito up with another suitcase full of cash too?

Just wait until they're free agents, dummies. Horrible idea to **** with a Harvard law grad in these matters...

its not the same. if the contract is void, there is no contract. it doesnt exist. u cant interfere with something that doesnt exist. if donaire sought legal advice and it is clear from that advice that the contract is void, injuries or no, what arum says does not make the contract valid. gbp really has nothing to do with that contract. that was between arum/toprank and donaire. therefore, there is no interference.

ok - nobody in here is a lawyer. I am a second year law student, and Im not going to try and act like I know what's going on here after reading A FEW ARTICLES on BS. Please don't try to post legal stuff as fact. it's really annoying seeing people try to win cases over the internet. lets see how it plays out before we try to litigate this case based off two BS articles. . .

[Nonito Donaire]

mmm Bob Arum has paquiao who single handedly is keeping boxing just a little bit relevant. without Paquiao boxing would get **** worth of attention right now. You act as if GBP is some ***en boxing saving promotion. What the *** have they done? You must like some rjj vs bhop and mosley vs mora type bull**** on ppv.

yup, bob has pacquiao, but he dont have to be a ***** about it.

Once Manny Pacquiao retires, Top Rank will lose it's only bargaining chip. They just lost Donaire, Cotto is on his way out, Palvik was a bust star wise, Juan Manuel Lopez isn't panning out to be the star people thought his was going to be and Yuriorkis Gamboa is known to only hardcore boxing fans.
