His previous promoter is suing him I know claiming he's still under contract so maybe it's going to end up like a Ricky Burns situation where his previous promoter gets awarded all the money he's made.

So who got a slice of Burns money?

Warren. Hearn and Burns' manager told him he wasn't under contract to Warren and he could fight on a Matchroom card, a court decided he was. Warren was awarded everything Burns was worth and more plus all his lawyer fees, court costs and so on. Hearn of course didn't cough up any money to help Burns out as far as I'm aware.
