This article doesn't shed much light on exactly at what point is canelo alleged to have broken the contract. What obligations did he not fulfill? What does all star want exactly, 180k? Canelo probably has 180k in change under his sofa seat cushions.

I'll help flush it out for you:

Alvarez was first signed by All-Star Boxing in September ’08, at age 18 and already three years into his pro career. The two sides were introduced by Rafael Mendoza, Alvarez’ manager and also a promoter in Mexico at the time.

Ironically, Alvarez’ first fight under a reported four-year contract with All-Star Boxing came on a show promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, when he defeated Larry Mosley in Oct. ’08.

The bout also served as Alvarez’ stateside debut and his first appearance on U.S. television, with the bout airing live from California on Telefutura (now UniMas). Two months later, the red-headed boxer fought in Florida as part of a card televised on Telemundo, with whom Felix ‘Tuto’ Zabala, head of All-Star Boxing, has an exclusive relationship.

In all, Alvarez fought under the All-Star Boxing banner for nine fights, all coming in a span of just over 13 months. The final fight in which All-Star Boxing remained a part of Alvarez’ career came in the boxer’s 12-round points win over Lanardo Tyner in Dec. ’09.

It was that point when All-Star Boxing – which claims to have invested more than $180,000 into Alvarez’ career over the course of those nine bouts – believes Golden Boy entered the picture and “induced Alvarez to breach his agreement and enter a separate multi-year promotional contract for the promotion of Alvarez’ future fights.”

All of Alvarez’ bouts from that point onward - beginning with a 3rd round knockout of Brian Camechis in March ’10 – involved Golden Boy Promotions in some capacity or another. Alvarez fought five times on the year, including two appearances on HBO Pay-Per-View undercards and by year’s end his debut on HBO Latino.

If the contract was for four years and NOT for a specific number of fights, then Alvarez owes them somewhere between 2 1/2-3 years more. If it was specific fights, or even other guarantees than promoter didn't meet, then that part of the lawsuit hasn't yet been introduced.

Thanks a lot for the breakdown.
