pbc has given us the best fights past 3 year without ripping off fans for ppv money multiple times.... Golden boy has been ripping off fans with fraudulent ppv's like canelo vs smith, khan and now chavez.... Top prank is doing the same with ******ed ppv fights like crawford vs postol and manny vs vargas... Thats why those mismatches keep failing.... While spence and thurman set record ratings in 2015 and 2016..... You sound bitter.... Go pray for golden girlComment

Joe Smith, Jr., your 1st round TKO of Fonfara helped make Golden Boy's expert witness, Dr. Kneuper, look foolish. pic.twitter.com/5PXj9Y6duc

You best not be fussin im straight up hustlin
Bustin a nut in your girls rumpkin and stuntin
She gave me a blumpkin, on your kids couch
Ef'd her in the A and then came in her mouth
Bout to head down south, go to your house
Kick in the room and the door go kaboom
This hebrew got the deuce deuce in the boot
And it go 'toot toot' every time that it shoot
So if you dont want me all up in her caboose
In your baby crib my d all in where she poops
You best be coughin up that muh effin loot
All on haymons d like santa cruz amir khan
Making his D disappear like a magic wand
In your mouth cause your gay like elton john
Bro you aint about that action like pacquiao
But my rhymes can paint pictures, basquietComment

My take on the judgment:
As a current law and business(finance) student, I find this case fascinating. I'll go back to see who was representing Oscar here but it appears his representation had an uphill battle trying to put a solid case together, with only pure su****ion to work with and a client who was constantly engaged actions that was circumventing the effectiveness of its case. (TV deals, Ortiz fiasco, Porter's attempt at working together, Gomez's emails, etc.) (I would've love to see what came up in discovery)
What's more telling (but obvious to those of us who are true fans of the sport) is the revelation, in the case, that GoldenBoy, not Haymon appears to be the one who has been acting in noncompetitive ways and really harming fighters.
Notice the mention of the 33% of the boxer's cut going to managers, while the manager was serving as a "defacto employee" of the company. The judgement didn't unpack the details there, but its clear that discovery revealed GoldenBoy (and likely Top Rank) are the companies who were engaged in such practices. Meanwhile, it appears that Al Haymon has actually been waiving his management fee. That's the biggest red flag in this judgement, that I would love someone to investigate. I believe this practice is what Mayweather was referring to at the Jack/DeGale press conference last week.
Another point, that wasn't unpacked, was the mention of Haymon's "losses". It appears that they either (1) are not as severe as assumed, or (2) can potentially be recovered in some way. Although there was no burden on Haymon to reveal his model (the burden was on GoldenBoy to show that it is a flawed business model), maybe there was something found in discovery showing some promise.
I'm also surprised Spike is paying a licensing fee to PBC.
These are just a few highlights I found interesting.Comment
