    For those of you who don't know what RICO (The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) is: [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act[/ame]



    That is what the government has been using to prosecute the Mafia for the past 40 years.

    More boxers should sue especially the main champion who has his feat diluted by some bogus or ordinary title which diverts attention from their achievement

    The Rico act is not just limited to criminal acts it can be used in a civil lawsuit to get money from all those involved whether they had knowledge or not. This type of lawsuit is rather difficult and expensive to pursue as well as defend so I imagine a compromise will be reached.

    So Ray Austin is accusing the WBC of glass jaw charges?

    This should be required in all Rico threads, don't matter if it's Spadafora or not.

    Well lets hope that this spells the death kneel for the WBC, they have outlived their usefulness and after that letter to Devon Alexander, I have little sympathy. Perhaps the IBO can take their place.

    Someone should sue the WBA too, then the IBO can take both their places and there can only be 4 top title orgs (counting The Ring).

    Austin is a gimp, they went to another fighter because he turned down 3 choices of dates.
