    I remember he fought Eubank in the 90's but whats he upto these days-did he become a trainer/gym owner/promoter himself?
    seems to have disappeared off the radar altogether.

    How did he actually get? Wasn't there some kind of an agreement so the WBC could pay him over time?

    yeah, the WBC filed for bankruptcy after losing this lawsuit and have been paying Rocky monthy for years. This is really the reason for the Silver and Diamond belts and keeping their champions undefeated and defending their belts for as long as possible, its a way for the WBC to make money. If this lawsuit never happened, JCC jr probably would have lost by now, these bull**** belts would not have been created, and the WBC would still have some credibility and dignity. Instead they sold out to keep Don Sulaiman and his cronies living lavishly.
     
  9. That Don Sulaiman, what a wanker.

    I feel sorry for the WBC. That **** Roccigianni making them have silver belts and diamond belts. Did he **** over the WBA as well? He must have done, that's why they have super titles and regluar tiles and all that.

    In this particular case? .... YES!
    And that is why Rocky is getting part of his 31mln refund every month.
