You should know it's a lot more complicated than that, and if you don't know it's a lot more complicated than that, then you don't understand major corporate litigation.
Litigation is a weapon that can be used regardless of whether anybody broke the law to achieve objections beyond exposing the breaking of laws.
For instance, Golden Boy knew Haymon hadn't broken the law when his fighters bought themselves out of their contracts using legal buy out clauses that had been negotiated.
Did it stop GBP from suing Haymon? No, of course not. Because you can use litigation to threaten people, you can use litigation to drain resources, you can use litigation to slow down legal activity that harms your business, you can use litigation to embarrass people, you can use litigation to gain knowledge of trade secrets, etc etc.
GBP & TR both filed frivolous lawsuits against Haymon and both failed to accomplish anything other than getting on ESPN a year sooner. But that's still something. So they gained something from frivolous litigation, as corporations do all the time, every day.
To suggest that law abiding citizens don't have to fear subpoenas shows once again that you have extremely limited knowledge of how business works at the highest levels.
good post. just like in war, it takes money to litigate.
My Dad is 5 years older than Haymon and is a retired truck driver, but he can text, check email, cast Youtube to his TV, etc. Dude even makes his own mix CDs. He's on some next level ****.
Get on my Dad's level, Uncle Al.
Your dad should email Haymon his resume. Maybe Al has a secretary position available.
