Klitschko Sued by Brain-Damaged Magomed Abdusalamov's Wife

[p4pking]

Seems like a crock to me, as far as Klitschko or any promoter being involved. What could they have possibly done to prevent the outcome? Did they have any reason to doubt the doctors appointed by the commission beforehand? All that even says as far as actually implicating him is;

""In order to obtain judgement against Kiltschko, Abdusalamov’s attorney will have to prove that it was within Klitschko’s legal responsibility, or the responsibility of the promotion to take action to ensure the boxer’s well being given the circumstances"

What the hell does this even mean, and what kind of president would it set? Every promoter in the sport may as well find a new line of work if they could be found liable for something like this. Tragic what happened no doubt, so don't involve people that had nothing to do with it! She may as well add Barack Obama as a co defendant ffs.

Ambulance chasing lawyers who will sue anyone that has got some money. If there was any negligence it was not the promoters. Maybe the ref and commission are culpable to some degree but not many others.

I think it's pretty standard practice in a lot of civil suits. Just name as many defendants as possible for as much money as you could imagine, that way in throwing out most of your claim the judge will still award you more. Not that I don't hope she get's something from this, just don't see who it comes from if the commission itself is legally immune. Mago has racked up over a million in medical bills and still isn't likely to speak again, must be complete hell for his family to face

That is certainly one reason not to live in america.

One million just because your in a coma? Fucking, kick a dog when it's down eh?

I think there is something here. Something isn't right. Broken hand, broken jaw, broken nose, internal bleeding- he sounds as if he was beaten up by a gorilla. Mike Perez, while he does have some pop, is no gorilla.

Something terrible happened here. There is more to this story...

[smashup]

The Ringside doctors at Madison Square Garden for the last GGG fight were out in abundance and it had to be due to this happening, wouldn't say they were over the top but were out in force way more than normal

MSG staff fucked up and actually told Abdusalamov to get a "Taxi" to the hospital when he complained of feeling unwell after the fight.

[Silkeyjoe]

I think the promoters should be liable here. 1st of all if there was any problems with the competence of the doctor thats the organizers responsibility. Secondly I think the whole think has been a farce. To throw a fight you need insurance. This insurance should cover promoters/fighters for any incident like this which should include all Magos medical bills and potential future earnings.

i saw this fight, and it was brutal beyond knowing. perez was a monster, and nothing like his last few fights. i agree 100% the fight should have been stopped long before it ended. even though it was a very entertaining and great fight that i did not want to end. the fighters health should have been #1 priority. so i agree with the wife. the docs/refs were idiots.

they wanted their customers to be entertained, so they let it go.....now they should have to pay up!!
poor magomed. the man was a warrior to the end and was never going to give up.

Exactly. A complete warrior who went out on his shield. He deserves the best care money can by. God knows theres enough money in the sport to make it so.

Mago was a pro fighter, he knew the risks and any pro boxer who doesn't get disability/long term care insurance for situations just like this is a moron. Mago's trainers throughout his career should have taught him some friggin defense.

At the end of the day, this is kinda/sorta the lesson for all boxing wanna-be's. Shit gets real!

[Spicoli]

It most definitely should not take a lawsuit for a Promoter to take steps to look out for a tragedy that occurred under its banner. It's not an admission of negligence or fault, its the right f'n thing to do!!

On a side wtf?! This was a Wlad K2 promotion...aired on HBO?! The same Hbo and announce team who absolutely ripped Wlad to shreds during Perez v Mago relentlessly All the while salivating over the brutal Hell these two heavies put on and declaring THIS is what fans want in the division.

Screw it...make Lampley and the boys fork over a contribution too. Damn hypocrites.
