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.

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.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

You say that it should cover such incidents but is this the normal procedure then or....?

Surely the fighter should insure himself. Isn't he self employed??

Does K2 act as his manager as well as promoter? If not then has the manager been omitted from persecution??

You'd know better than I, but that isn't typical at all is it? Strikes me if anything it would work the other way around, a promoter would need insurance in order to avoid this kind of thing As far as the competency of the doctors, again I don't see how that would come down to anyone but the commission that employs them and sanctions the event? What is a promoter supposed to do, select them as if they are judges?

[walrus]

What about the corner and the fighter himself. If they feel they are to injured to continue, shouldn't they do just that.

[ykdadamaja]

Call me a Soccer Mom, but all fighters should take MANDATORY hospital visits after fights. No matter how short or long or who the winner was. Take them all to the hospital. One tap, in one round, from the losing fighter, can cause more damage than 10 rounds of punishment from one fighter that blasted you out.

A good case of this was the Taylor/Chavez fight/ Taylor was on the way to winning a unanimous decision. He was, literally, seconds away from winning. Chavez really poured on at about the 9th and 10th rounds- and really in the 11th and 12th. Chavez probably only, really, won the 10th and 11th rounds. But, who got messed up the most?

I dont know either. I would have thought to host a sporting event where athletes can be harmed that you would need insurance to cover any injuries they may get. I know in the football league I play in that part of the league fee covers insurance and should anything happen during the match fees will be covered. I would think whoever is hosting an event is responsible for your well being. At the end of the day its the refs and the ring doctors fault for what happened. Obviously they were not to know how bad the injuries were but ultimately it is there responsibility for fighters safety and in my opinion Mago deserves substantial compensation. It looks like he may never walk or talk again. If the ref does his job properly and stops the fight a round or two earlier who knows what coud have happened, he could possibly still be a fighter.

Yeah best to just force taxpayers to flip the bill

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!
