Comments Thread For: Top Rank's Letter Outlines Dispute of Donaire's Claims

[Kagami Taiga]

Bob Arum went to law school at Harvard, I'll take him over anything Golden Boy can produce. Bob himself is a lawyer and has way deeper pockets than Golden Boy or Oscar to get even more high profile lawyers, I think the question is how badly does GBP want Nonito? Are they willing to spend all this money on legal fee's on top of what they plan on paying him for a guy who is a relative unknown still?

going to law school at harvard doesnt mean as much as u think it does. is the guy smart?? yes. is he still practicing law in any real capacity?? proly not. im sure top rank has in house counsel and so does gbp. who knows where any of those nameless guys went to school. and this isnt betw. gbp and arum just yet. this is arum and donaire. this was sent to donaire's lawyer.

bailey used to be a nsac commisioner. trust me, he did not make that mistake. im certain he payed attention to the medical leave time spans.

Speculations, that's all we have till the truth comes out in court.

I really believe that Donaire's lawyer John Bailey really "cluster-****ed" this one. Bailey should've known that in any medical leave - a promoter can not make/offer any fight to the injuried fighter.

Bailey is a former NSAC chairman, it would be impossible for him to commit such an oversight i guess.

But at any rate, this is what i've been saying, that at this point of Donaire's career, ****s like these is the last thing he needs.

i know that but the way gbp and top rank hate each other so much...a resolution outside of the court is farfetched.

isnt that how they settled the manny dispute tho??? this is much less severe than that was.

yea but if he really did that, he'd be sued out his ass for malpractice. that kinda lack of oversight rises to the level of incompetence. theres no way i see him making a mistake like that, itd be like a futbol player intentionally scoring an own goal on himself.

free donaire

the hate between them is not that much during that time. actually, this war between gbp and top rank started with the pac controversy.

but anyway, my whole point is that if donaire wants to move to another promoter, and he can avoid all these legal problems, that's what he should do. don't know if you were able to catch that.

free donaire

i lmao'ed. i reckon he'll be free one way or another. how fast is the relevent question we'd wanna ask as boxing fans.

GDP is regularly outfoxed by Top Rank, and Rachel Donaire seems to act/speak out of anger or excitement rather than out of consideration.. I'd say once again Arum will be doing some pwning. I like Nonito, but this wasn't well thought out.

oh i agree...i dunno what went on behind closed doors but it seems that this conflict has been brewing at least since the montiel fight ended. maybe gbp knows something we dont. maybe donaire does...who knows.
