Klitschko Sued by Brain-Damaged Magomed Abdusalamov's Wife

[#1FightFan]

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Ah yes, the good old "Socialized medicine is the best for everyone".....like they don't ration that shit.

In my free time....my free time mind you I help hospitals which run on donations, free of charge to EVERY child patient regardless of their economic status, regardless of their race, regardless of anything. FREE man, FREE...no government bullshit, no hospital bullshit, no insurance bullshit, FREE. We'll drive the kids to the hospitals if they need it.

So yeah I am not worried 1 single bit


The NHS can suck a fat one...a lot of good they did for Michael Watson.

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

Hes more or less a vegetable. They are broke from having to pay his medical costs and due to his state she is unlikely able to work as someone will have to look after him all the time. So yes its about money.
