Comments Thread For: Guerrero's Lawyer: Golden Boy Violated The Ali Act

[turnedup]

And so it begins...that's messed up. He's the mandatory but he's gotta give up shhh to get a fight he's already mandated to have? Boooooyyyyyyy I can't wait for Arum to retire..when him and King are out of the way and there is nobody else left to hate on it'll be Schaeffer. GBP made Floyd rich as fk but it seems it came with a price tag to everyone else. Mofo's can't just be satisfied with getting 20-30% for doing nothing more than a bunch of talking...greedy bastards.

Pacquiao Fans criticized Mayweather for fighting Guerrero, saying hes not a worthy opponent. Now they are changing their tune because Manny could fight him lol. Bet he wont do 1m PPVs though like Floyd.

floyds an excuse making coward

This is a weasel move, and I don't understand why any promoter would want a guy that has no qualms with stabbing them in the back. Schaefer did a great job making whatever name Guerrero has. This guy should be frozen out of boxing as far as I'm concerned.

Agree with this. The guy is trying to get out of a reasonable contract on a technicality.

Personaly I have no problem with a pac vs ghost fight. It's perfectly legit. What I am going to have a problem with though is seeing the ****** nation who derided floyd vs ghost as a joke and an unjustifiable bout defend and justify this fight. The ******* nation have short memories and love hypocrisy

who said anything about pac fighting this guy. It's obvious Schaefer wants to turn him into a feeder fish now that he lost to floyd.

good move he would be made into star on HBO while showtime would put him on Co-main event or undercard

Except its not the exact same thing. The difference here is that Mayweather if I remember correctly wanted to fight Oscar but Arum didn't want to let it happen. Robert Guerrero actually fought the biggest name in boxing AND he got a huge paycheck. So he got what he was asking for and now all of a sudden hes playing the victim. Its all bs.

If he really was only offered 1(dangerous) opponent for a lowball paycheck, he has every right to look out for himself. As important as it is for these fighters to take tough fights, it is also in their interest to make money and provide for their future and their family. Robert Guerrero's wife has battled cancer multiple times, you have any idea how expensive that is?
Bottom line I don't think Robert is afraid to fight anyone, but he expects to be paid accordingly, and he should: the man has more than paid his dues in boxing.

So what do you think of a guerrero v pac fight ? Because if he get's out of his contract that's what we arr gping to see? Wonder if it's going to be the same as what ypu thought of may v ghost. What do you say namesake???

Pacquiao has nothing to do with this but to humor you, Pacquiao destroys his ass. Bradley, Prov and Rios also beat him.

The real issue here is GBP is trying to Don King Guerrerro by forcing him to sign a contract to get the Floyd fight. This is boxing slavery and why the Ali Act exists. Fighters back in the day were getting screwed by promoters when they said, "if you wanna fight this guy for the title, you have to sign to our company." This is exactly what happened here and is illegal

And Guerrerro has a good reputation as far as I'm concerned. Hes not someone who makes up a bunch of bull****. If he feels the need to hire a lawyer than it deserved to be looked at.

When this goes to court its - Guerrero KO1 GBP's

Arum really is a crafty old fox. I can't wait for the wave of hypocrisy to hit Boxingscene. 'But errr... Guerrero had just moved up to welter when he fought Mayweather. The win doesn't count..'

He aint pay no damn dues. He skipped a stacked division, cried to sullimain about cancer, and had to fight two guys to get Floyd and hasnt accomplished anything. Khan could have done that a few years ago. Stopped his whole career, and jumped to ww to get an easy path to a money fight. He wanted to unify, avenge losses, and clean his division, and what happened happened. Ghost doesnt want to fight anyone at gb. He started trying to get a pac fight a few months ago I believe. Coming off a loss, he wants to go straight to a Pac fight. He knows TR has no one for him to fight except Bradley, Rios, Jmm, Prov, and Pac. Five fighters. And he wont even have to fight them all to get Pac. I hate this dude. He was trying to fight Floyd even when he was a lw, before he stopped his career, and chased him.

Guerrero has a good chance against any of the last three mentioned. Hell he even has a decent shot against Pac. Why is this man so criminally underrated on this forum? Cause he got tooled by Floyd looking the best we'd seen him in years?
