I thought that it was ruled in court that the promoter works for the fighter and not the other way around? Have I just heard this wrong the whole time? If this IS the case then why do fighters end up shelved due to 'promotional issues' and not have a lawsuit? If such is the case then isn't it as simple as the fighter makes/demands the fight he wants and the promoter, working for the fighter, is contracted by the fighter to be allowed to place the fight on one of their shows? How is it legal for strong arm tactics like not making a fight if the fighter refuses to extend their contract?
