Dibella refuses to promote Taylor, says his health is at risk...

[paddy448]

“I informed him, as I do all my contracted fighters, that my goal was to help his secure financial stability for his family, maximize his potential, and leave our unforgiving sport with his health intact.

It is my belief that the continuation of Jermain’s career as an active fighter places him at unnecessary risk. While he is undoubtedly capable of prevailing in future bouts, I cannot, in conscience, remain involved given my assessment of such risk." - Lou Dibella


Very interesting.

well done diabella. the man has just gone up a notch in my book. wont find many promoters saying that. not just that but taylor is still a marketable fighter with a good following, so diabella can still make money off him, but his heart is ruling his head. good stuff

My hat is off to DiBella, the guy really cares about his fighters....Shows not all promoters are money hungry trolls like many think..

First class move by Lou, especially knowing he could make another million or two off Taylor in the long run

What a cracking guy! I hope Taylor understands and takes a step back.
