Former 154-pound titleholder Austin Trout is suing promoter Greg Cohen, claiming that Cohen got in the way of Trout potentially appearing on the pay-per-view undercard to Floyd Mayweather’s fight with Canelo Alvarez, among other potential bouts.
The litigation was filed Sept. 12 and reported on by legal publication The Southeast Texas Record, then expanded on by New Mexico newspaper the Albuquerque Journal.
Trout claims that his contract with Greg Cohen Promotions ended earlier this year, but that Cohen nevertheless told Showtime executives that they needed to negotiate with him regarding Trout’s next fight — or else he would take the network to court, the Record reported.
“As a result of Cohen’s actions, Showtime’s negotiations with Trout ended,” the legal publication quoted the litigation as saying. “Cohen not only fraudulently misrepresented his relationship with Trout to Showtime, but has also misguided several other prominent people in the boxing industry by asserting that no one may negotiate or attempt to arrange any fights with Trout unless expressly approved by Cohen.” [Click Here To Read More]
