why would donaire do exactly what manny did and sign a contract while under another 1

[Kagami Taiga]

I don't see why. He's still under a valid and enforceable contract to Top Rank, and unless they want to let him go -which I doubt- Oscar can whistle. I spent over 4 years working in a law office when young, and still recall a little about contracts, apart from much life experience since.

u say hes under valid contract, obviously his lawyers think otherwise. there has to be a reason they do. its not as easy as u think.

manny doesn't pay 2 promoters.

1 promoter pays the other a percentage of what they make.



either way both were calculated by the promoters.

with pac , arum calculated that signing manny even with litigation costs and eventually sharing a percentage with gbp was better than losing him outright to gbp. (i still believe that gbp's contract was legit and arum's was not.)

with donaire , gbp is just messing with tr. they don't even care if tr's contract is still valid or not. (just like arum didn't care with pac's gbp contract)

1. they either steal donaire outright or 2. it goes to court and tr's fighter is stuck in limbo.

either way gbp hurts top rank.

A) I don't think either DLH or Schaefer are smart enough to have this as the reason. I think they just saw what they thought was an opening and went for it without doing their homework.

B) Even if that is the case and GBP is just 'messing' with TR, it's going to cost them legal fees and maybe even a settlement for breach of contract, wages lost, etc. Not only that, but it further damages the relationship between the 2 promotional companies and widens their rift. At least after they settled the Pacquiao dispute with mediation, they buried the hatchet and started co-promoting more. This will basically kill any chance of that happening in the future.
