    Comments Thread For: Prograis: Frustrated With WBSS, Their Actions During Tournament

    This was never the ending that Regis Prograis envisioned.

    I’m surprised they haven’t even been able to put up $2m for this.

      No doubt. This sh^t is an embarrassment for the WBSS.

      Sucks that they haven't been able to run this better cuz this was such a cool thing & I'd love to have seen it work out better than it has.

        These torneys were always too good for boxing for it to work. Boxing will always go two blocks out of its way to kick it self in the azz.The best and most mismanaged sport in the world by a mile.

          I don’t get this, do they owe him money from previous fights? Why the demand for monies to be placed in escrow?

            Duhhhh?? So he won't get screwed around??? If you sold your to a person that wouldn't put earnest money in an escrow account would you continue the process??

              Seems they only been paying people after they either threaten to drop out or threatened a lawsuit against them also doesn’t help that they changed when they would start putting the money in a escrow 3 separate times after agreeing and reneging

                Comosa AG is just very sloppy! Sad because the tournament has worked as far as matchmaking, excitement, etc. However, when you can't handle your business responsibilities, the show can't continue!
