Last night, in spanish television they talked about the Toney fight along with the undercard fights. Soliman was their and was asked about the Castillo fine and suspension.
Soliman said, "a suspention was corret as a way to hand down a punishment, but a fine such as 250 thousand is Not justice. Here is a boxer who was fined 250 thousand dollars, but he was not paid, so how is he going to pay 250 thousand to the commision? This was not accepetable. Castillo is not in the money earning league as a Tyson, this is Castillo as man with a hard economic background and you are going to fine him 250 thousand when he didn't fight, this was not acceptable and was wrong. A susption was appropiate, but a fine when the fighter didn't fight is not justice."
And i aggree with Soliman. If Castillo had fought then fine him, but 250 grand is ludacriss. Everybody talks about getting a Boxing Committe to regulate boxing so it can be respected and just. Here is another example of the neveda commision over correcting the situation. Its not like a fighter takes home his whole purse he signed to get, he still pays off a lot of people in his camp and a 250 grand fine after paying everbody in his camp, the figher would go home with less then half of what he made - if even that.
If Teddy Atlas wants to be sincere in wanting a Boxing Committe to regulate all boxing to take the courupt and unfairness away from boxing then Atlas would take a stand and defend Castillo. But Atlas, doesn't care about the boxer either.
