Comments Thread For: Top Rank: Our Contract With Nonito Donaire is Valid

[antrob]

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. . .

Then don't read the comment section. This a boxing forum and we're going to give our opinion on everything boxing.

Agreed, **** was a ****** comment. Anyway, I'm thinking another Victor Ortiz/Manny Pacquiao drama over the horizon. Guy didn't think his pay is going to get taken away with percentage and all that. Ask Pacquiao how much GBP takes from his purse every time he fights.

im a 3L, what school do u go to??

but back to the main point, the two sides claim something different. what arum claims is that the contract was tolling because of donaire's injuries in the first year of the contract. which makes sense depending on the jurisdiction.

what donaire's side is claiming is that the contract is void(big difference from voidable) because arum did not perform, his required performance being the deliverance of 3 fights yearly. now if this is the case, and this is in the contract, the contract is indeed void. which means it doesnt exist. this is very different from voidable, because if it is merely voidable, it would be up to a court to make the determination. but if it is void, then gbp has every right to make their own contract with him without fear of interference. imo, if what both sides said is indeed true, then the contract does appear to be void. the only way i see a court saying otherwise is if knowing that arum did not perform, donaire went along with the deal anyways. once again, depending on thei jurisdiction, this may be enough for the court to use his actions as an agreement to the creation of a new contract, whatever that might be. and once again, im taking this as if what both sides said is true.

hahaha no, you're not. because the first thing you would have mentioned is that arum would have to get an injunctive hearing (like king did with mayroga to stop him from fighting under the contract of another organization) before he could do ANYTHING to stop nonito from fighting.

you DONT KNOW THE FACTS, therefor, you can't try to apply the rules of civil procedure, or contract law to the case! we need to know the circumstances.

THEN COMMENT ON BOXING! HAHAHA not how you think some POTENTIAL legal battle that hasn't even happened will play out based off you KNOWING NOTHING, except two articles. comment on boxing, NOT LEGAL ISSUES! hahahaha. or don't try to give "facts", state your opinion. hahaha and dempsey rolling actually thinks he is in law school - poor little fella!

[bojangles1987]

Here comes another typical lawsuit and expect Donaire to sit out and be inactive because of it

Yep. Golden Boy and Top Rank continue to ruin boxing trying to one up each other.

[UglyPug]

actually u guys r right - this is BS and u should be able to comment on anything having to do with boxing. and dempsey you prolly r a 3L - seem to have succinct understanding of what you have posted. . . sorry im just frustrated right now from ****ing reading these goddamn cases for civ. pro II. . . it's all in fun anyway, just speculation. carry on guys. haha seriously i was being a doosh. u guys will soon realize i admit when im wrong all the time.

ummm...no. #fail. we are strictly talking about the signing of the contract with goldenboy and if they were interfering. theres no need for an injuction, the contract has already been agreed upon and signed. read what i wrote and dont jump the gun. this situation is nothing like the mayorga situation. donaire isnt fighting anyone, he signed a contract.

what im speaking about is whether the contract is void or not from what both parties have stated. lol...1st year contracts much???
