Molitor leaves promoter, proposted unification with Caballero off.
IBF champ Molitor cuts ties with promoter Tremblay
Goddamnit, this really pisses me off. I was looking forward to that fight and this really seems like a bitch move. Ditching the guy who got you to where you are, selling out a 6,000 seat arena in a country that doesn't give a shit about boxing (outside of Montreal) and turning your back on a unification bout. Apparently Muhammed has a dubious reputation, Pacquiao is currently suing him...
Re: Molitor leaves promoter, proposted unification with Caballero off.
I am really fucking disappointed by this.
Re: Molitor leaves promoter, proposted unification with Caballero off.
I`m not really sure how I feel about this yet. Mixed I guess.
On one hand I can understand Molitor wanting to move if he feels his boxing career is going to be limited to fighting at Casino Rama. On the other, I don`t want to see him get chewed up and spit out. I guess time will tell.

He had a contract in front of him for a unification, essentially in his hometown no less. His career wasn't being limited, he just went for the quick money.

That`s how it appears at first glance, but he is a smart guy. I am fairly sure there is a lot more that is going on then we see. Is why I feel we need to wait a bit and let this play out. Atleast that is how I feel before I go making a judgement on it.

Fair enough, it just seems like he made a rash decision when some money was flashed in front of him, especially considering his new promoters reputation. His old promoter did an excellent job of building interest in him nationwide, I'd hate to see that interest squandered and I'd also hate to see the guy who spent a lot of time and money building that interest get screwed over.

He can kiss his career goodbye. No other promotor will do business with Murad Muhammad.

Re: Molitor leaves promoter, proposted unification with Caballero off.
I'm curious to know what CMM thinks of this.

Here's another article about it:
Steve Molitor in bitter split with Canadian promoter
Lou DiBella chimes in:
"The Canadian Kid would have to be the stupidest kid on earth to get suckered in by Murad Muhammad," DiBella told Boxingscene.
Re: Molitor leaves promoter, proposted unification with Caballero off.
There wasn't going to be a unification fight anyway. Cuz I think Lorenzo Parra is going to beat Caballero this weekend.
