Star Boxing & Banner Boxing Suing RNS in NYC

[OnePunch]

if BooBoo was willing to breach his contract with Star just because Roc flashed him a few nickels, then he deserves everything that has happened to his career lately. Everybody likes to think contracts are only a 1 way street......

Ha... to Boo Boo

Could the 550k be the "price for buyout" of his current contract?

You know, like when Floyd bought out his contract.

Probably something similar. What it looks like to me is RNS told him to keep it on the hush while they try to negotiate a buyout with Star Boxing. They must have been unable to agree on price and are now suing.

Star Boxing is a small promo company who really need promising fighters like Andrade. I can see why they are fighting back.

Andrade deserves this. Star and Banner invested a lot of money in him when nobody would and he wasted it all away on a verbal promise

Roc nation is a complete disaster so far.

I don't even know why they want to be a part of this sport.

Yup. These small promoters stay getting screwed over.

How are they a disaster? They've had like 2 cards.

Maybe in the way that they can't get talent and they're just trying to poach everybody

Last guy they signed was a Mexican prospect like 3 months ago

What fighter wouldn't want to sign with RocNation? You get a lot more money and certainly much more exposure due to their marketing. There is nothing wrong with "poaching" talent, they do it in the NFL when a guy is a free agent and another team offers him more money. Why the big issue in boxing?

You said in a previous post that they have only had two cards. And they were showcases for their most expensive talent. Whatever you think of Haymon, Arum, De La Hoya, etc., at least they are able to keep their fighters active.

Also if Andrade were really a free agent, this wouldn't be an issue. That is why it is called poaching. Roc Nation is having a hard time getting their promotion together.
