Golden Boy vs. Top Rank...Donaire signs with Golden boy.

[generalbulldog]

Well he's just doing what his hero Pac did, which is sign 2 different contracts with different companies and then have it go to court.

I think he's made a big mistake, he's burning his bridges in the boxing world.That's the 2nd person he's fucked over.

I really don't know how the whole contract thing work legally but it seems that it is possible, even if you sign a contract, to sign with another promoter and to get away with it, a bit like what happened between Golden Boy and Top Rank with the pacman. If I remember well and that the information I had was correct, Top Rank's contract with Pacquiao was expired when he did sign with Golden Boy and still, Arum has been able to roll him back in his stable, how's that? If it has been possible and that there is no funny clauses that I wasn't aware of, I think that Donaire might well be able to remain with Golden Boy.

Pac was naive at the time and if I recall correctly he had Roach with him when he signed with Golden Boy. They settled with a mediator without going to trial and the promoters ended up splitting the profits, so it had to be a very complicated deal to figure out. The good thing for Pac is, it cost the promoters and not him.

Donaire grew up in the US and doesn't have the language and educational barrier to work through that Pac did, so if Donaire gets burned I won't have as much pity.

but if I recall, the split up is mainly on Top Rank's side, Golden boy touch a little something extra when Manny fights one of their guy or something like that, it was quite a ludicrous money deal for GBP

[:::PSL:::]

If he can betray his own family, then he can betray pretty much anyone.

He's a fine boxer. But he's a dick. And that's why he will not be love by his own people the way they loved Pacquiao.

It was 25% of the promoters Top Ranks profits, but I never read about how many fights that would happen. And yea! that is a pretty good deal. Only thing is they have no control over the reporting. Which I'm sure plays a big part of the keeping the final PPV numbers a secret.
