Comments Thread For: Peter Quillin Vacates WBO Title, Roc Nation Comments

UnderQuillin probably mistook Koborov for Kovalev.


"This n*gga be actually killin' fools, and y'all want me to fight him? **** that!"

Quillin is a straight up b*tch.

I remember when Paul Williams became Antonio Margarito's mandatory. Margarito was about to get a unification fight later in the year with Cotto and so Arum/TR did not want to risk Margarito losing to Williams and therefore wanted him to vacate the belt/would not approve for him to take the fight. Margarito took TR to court and forced the fight to happen. Tony went on to lose the fight, but still eventually got the bigger payday with Cotto (after he rematched Cintron). That's the difference between a b*tch like Quillin and a fighter (forget that Margarito may have cheated, it makes my story less appealing).

Forgot to mention something, remember this too, coming another announcement. Garcia won't fight Postol he'll vacate, the same as Quillin here, and he will fight a low ranked guy on his welter debut.

After the Russell and Porter losses, this will be the new MO for Haymon properties.

.......................AND taking the lead for COWARD of the year..........Peter "Kid Castration" Quillin












Complete and utter joke

[boxingbrain28]

I respect all fighters and usually understand why they might avoid certain fights, but this is just pathetic. He was getting a career high pay day against a guy who I believe he could have beaten. Quillin just took protecting himself to the next level.

Garcia already made his debut at WW vs Salka. 140+ IS welterweight.

Bigger fights, like what? Quillin is a disgrace to the sport.

WTF Quillin????

[Citizen Koba]

Once he officially becomes a "Promoter"...then Al will have a serious problem.

Well, indeed. But why is he not officially a manager already? Why is he an 'advisor'?

Aw... C'mon Leia you think it's some kinda accident? Smart? Perhaps. Legally Haymon's found a convenient loophole which has enabled him to cross the Manager / promoter firewall which was put in place to assure that someone had legal responsibility (fiduciary duty) to represent fighters' financial interests in the cutthroat world of prizefighting.

I'm not aware of a clearer recent example of a fighters' representative - (whether you want to call Haymon manager or adviser) apparently acting so obviously contrary to their clients' interests, however.

Perhaps Haymon has some kinda cunning plan by which Quillin can recover his lost $1.4 mil, but it's hard to see how that begins with dropping his title which is his most obvious leverage when it comes to negotiating purses.

I don't think Quillin is afraid of Korobov. If he was, I don't think Golden Boy would have bid $1.2M for the fight, I think Quillin would have just vacated the title when the mandatory was ordered. This is an HBO/SHO and Haymon/Roc Nation issue.
