I'm still shocked that Ward lost his case but then again Goossen has something signed. They must have closed the loop holes that both Oscar and Floyd used to get out of their contracts. Or maybe Ward offered Goossen no cash to buy it out. I'd love to see the arguments that were presented in court.
I don't understand how these promoters win these cases ever. Everyone know this PPV won't lose money. Whether we like it or not Chavez is huge, put him up against the it fighter and this thing sells like hotcakes. So basically TR is saying we won't pay you what your fair market value is without an extension. Why on earth would a fighter give more power to a company that is already extorting them? Why don't courts see through this injustice? I mean I understand when Don King was flaunting that he would pay jurors and judges off, is that how it still goes?
