McGregor Feels Ali Act Can Prevent UFC Blocking Mayweather Deal

and anyone who thinks that the Ali act doesn't apply to UFC, is clearly racist LMAO

I dont think it is an assumption that he has a "financial interest" in his events. Even if by some miracle he donated all profits to charity or whatever, the simple fact of him contracting a promoter at a set fee automatically gives him a "financial interest" in the event. And a DIRECT interest at that. I just dont see how that can be refuted. And a manager having such a financial interest in a promotional event indeed violates that Act. The language is pretty clear.

Now whether or not the Justice Dept or a court somewhere ever actually DOES anything about it, well thats anyones guess my friend........

What an idiot... if nobody is getting damaged there is no reason for anybody to do anything about it.

Financial interest under what title? Not promoter. I mean, come on, man.

Its pretty simple Terry.

No judge or jury in their right mind would deem Haymon as violating the Ali Act based on $$$ fighters are receiving compared to their peers with other managers and promoters.

Are all boxing promoters this dumb?

[snoopymiller]

What world do we live in when people expect a judge to rule against anybody who is paying fighters more than their opposition?

Prosecution would happen if fighters were getting stiffed Arum - style but this is obviously not the case with Haymon.

******ity abounds.

It's hilarious how these racists want Haymon out the game because he's "violating the Ali act" which is in place to protect the fighters from being robbed. All of Haymon's fighters make the most money yet Haymon is violating the Ali act. How does that work again?

Its super strange and obviously ******ed.

I think GBP should hire Terry Trekass as an advisor... so they can piss away more legal fees and hope and pray HBO increases their budget. #boxingbusinessgenius

he is a licensed manager who has a financial interest in the promotional activities of his clients. The law states that is a no-no.

And its great that Haymon is playing Santa Claus, and being the "irrational player" who overpays everyone and puts smiley faces on their checks, but at some point he will have to transition to being more "rational"

Lets see if the love fest continues at that point......
