Comments Thread For: Regis Prograis, Lou DiBella File Lawsuit: Withdraw From WBSS

[richardt]

Maybe the threat of pulling out may force the WBSS to issue an immediate check. If not, Both Taylor and Regis can pull out and face each other outside of the tournament. Jose Ramirez is lucky he wasn't in that mess.

Anyone seen the details of the lawsuit. Seeing a guy on twitter saying this doe.

They made the offer to pay $1.3m in three instalments between 16 Aug and September. It’s in the paperwork filed by Prograis legal team. Prograis not interested. Wants out.

If he fights Ramirez next I understand. If he fights Broner it tells you everything you need to know. https://t.co/Yc0gyM89tl

Prograis (24-0, 20KOs) is joined by DiBella Entertainment (DBE)-his longtime promoter-as plaintiffs in a formal complaint against defendants Comosa AG, WBSS founders who have overseen both seasons of five separate tournaments spanning four weight divisions. According to the filed lawsuit-of which BoxingScene.com has obtained a copy-the heart of the complaint centers on Comosa's failure to deposit purse funds and potential win bonus into an escrow account as contractually promised.

Oh sh^t. Disregard my last post. Seeing details here.

Wow. Huge f#ck up by the WBSS here.

Sounds like he’s scared of the hydro judges

Maybe? They were gonna absolutely rob prograis over there. Never felt comfortable about that site

In hindsight this is probably good news. Regis Pro vs. Jose Ramirez is THE fight, instead of waiting on Regi whooping euro-bum Taylor we get the #1. vs. #2. right now.

Tart-Tomato can go up to fight welterweights or even better junior middleweights, like Jeff Horn.

It’s been a real disappointing year with numerous fights falling through. Was really looking forward to this final, I’ve always thought the 140 division was a two headed beast, but after ramirez’s last win I’m hoping one of the finalist will attempt to unify with him... At least we have Inoue-donaire to look forward too.

[Pigeons]

Solid bet at this point.

Loved the concept of the WBSS, but the execution has left something to be desired specifically this season.

If they continue they need to f#cking figure sh^t out better for season 3.

There will be no season 3.

Knew this was going happen eventually with one of these tournament fights... they dragging they feet and won’t be surprised if Donaire/Inoue suffer the same fate even after getting a date

[wrecksracer]

Donaire was threatening to pull out too over some of these same issues before they finally scheduled his fight. I don't know what Sauerland's problem is. Are they counting on some pyramid scheme to pay off before they can fund the next fight? I was really looking forward to this fight, but I don't blame Prograis. I guarantee that none of you would work for a shady employer who keeps promising to pay you, but somehow misses the deadline. Maybe WBSS can save the fight if they come up with some real cash..not the promise of cash sometime in the future. "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"

[Boxing Goat]

That's one way to avoid fighting Taylor. Prograis should already be in training. He's known he was fighting Taylor for months now.
