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

[Fetta]

If what is written is true than i got to side with Gurerro. They only offered him Thurman and no one else available when they wanted to see their other options. I know thats the Delahoya way for most they top fighters they take on best fighter after best fighter.

GBP got screwed when they thought they were doing the screwing.

Damn GBP! We as fans wanna see the top fighters vs scrubs!

Sounds like a money grab by Guerrero and his lawyer

Seems like they purposefully signed what they believed to be a contract with illegal terms with intentions to collect the maywesther money and then void their contract after wards

If it violated the Ali terms, why did the sign it and accept those terms?

Pretty sure you answered your own question. Smart move if you ask me. If it works out of course.

I'm not a lawyer and don't know exactly how these types of lawsuits work, but wouldn't a judge ask this exact question to Guerrero and his lawyer?

If they knew they were signing something illegal, then why did they sign it?

That's what I'm referring to, Guerrero and his lawyer

None of that really justifies the move hs i trying to make. He is not trying to make money off of it, it just seems like an excuse to leave GB. Why did they wait so long to come out with this? Shouldn't have his lawyer noticed at the time the extension was being worked on?

Here's what I think... For whatever reason, Guerrero wants out of his contract. His team sat down and looked at what they could use to be able to do so legally and found this. Maybe he felt used as a stepping stone or sees how everyone at GB tailor to Floyd and his happiness... The reason behind might never be disclosed but it is definitely not about this violation they speak of.

the ali act is not a joke. it establishes that a fighter's manager will have separate interests from his promotor. it also establishes limits on the length of a contract that a manager can have with a fighter, as well as limiting what he can take in percentage.

it established that there were to be inquiries made by the state about the particulars of a contract.

you guys have to realize just how naive fighters are. it's no surprise that many of them go broke. many of them don't understand anything other than fighting and training. they need the protection of athletic comissions.

You misinterpret what I meant. The Ali act is a joke Because of how vague it is written and little it is followed. Almost everything al haymon does as far his connection to GBP could be considered against the ali act. half these fighters are told by there promoter who should manage them. That's against the ali act, it's a complete norm in the business.

Take the time to actually read the Ali act, it looks like a middle school kid wrote it. It's why it's rarely used against promoters in the courtroom.

If the ghost pulls this off, it will set a new problem in the sport, that would cause all kinds of hell for promoters and networks. If fighters can just break contracts, I cant even imagine the consequences of that.
I worked in the business, I watched the Ali broke with almost every deal I've ever seen.

are there really people here trying to hype a pac-guerrero matchup? i see a lot of floyd fanboys biitching about that already.

pac-ghost is a mismatch. guerrero has gone slower and less mobile at welterweight and he doesn't have the power to really bother pac. pac is too fast for him. against floyd, he was the one trying to lead and putting the pressure...he can't do that against pac. he'll get lit up. his best move is fight from outside but he's less agile now than when he was at 130.

This sounds like a pretty good theory.

You can't be serious man

Rios sucks but he has the volume and chin to break Guerrerro down

Guerrerro got dropped by Casamayor and you don't think Rios would beat his ass?

If you so confident that Guerrerro beats Rios than I dare you to make a poll on it

Guerrero beats robotic punching "bag" "bag" Rios (thanks to whoever came up with this) you trying to lift Rios up when there is nothing in this guy skill set to compete at a high level of competition......may be you want to help the Pacman's case by fighting this dude.
