    Comments Thread For: Austin Trout Wins Appeal In Ongoing Lawsuit Versus WBO

    As the boxing career of Austin Trout continues, so too does his ongoing legal battle with the World Boxing Organization. The former World Boxing Association (WBA) junior middleweight champion will continue the good fight in the courtroom, after the United States Court of Appeals granted an appeal in Trout's favor in the latest round of his $40 million lawsuit filed against the WBO.

      I support Trout in his fight against the greedy WBO. But let's keep it real, 40 million? Really? It sounds like Trout is being greedy himself. I mean his average purse was around half a million a fight ( on a good day) so to claim 40 million in damages is a stretch. Damages are maybe around the 2 to 3 million range.

        It’s less about the money and more let’s put them out of business.... the WBC was in this position before but they got extremely lucky when the guy dropped it after he won. I don’t see Trout doing that.

              How does a sanctioning body remove a fighter from its rankings simply because he is committed to another fight under a different body? Corrupt bastards!

                By the time it's settled, Trout will be retired.

                    Trout is about to be a very wealthy man!

                    I support his fight against the corruption in boxing and these parasitic sanctioning bodies!
