Should he fight and then have to face not paying his camp, or should he just say **** it, and not fight??
yes he should fight because if he doesn't it will ruin my saturday night. I hope he has his priorities in line.
I'd advise him to still fight. If he doesn't, he's gonna have one or two or three....... or four more court cases that will make this one seem like a slap on the wrist. It's gotta be really frustrating for him, but he still should go through with the fight. I personally wouldn't give him any **** for not showing up, but I think he'll be looking at a lot worse than he is now if he doesn't.
This is a hard one, because his purse is being withheld for who knows how long after the fight. He has to do what is best for his family and team, and the risks of getting injured is high. JLC is also a warrior and is always willing to give the fans a good fight to watch. I would not be sad with either choice, very neutral on this matter, either not risk his health and family or give the fans a good fight and pulling from this one might get him in more trouble.
jlc will probably fight to avoid further legal and financial complications... but it's the quality of his performance and motivation for that fight which is now in question.
What would be smart about it? I myself wouldn't blame him if he didn't show up, but there are a lot of other people who would. He'll be looking at a lot more lawsuits if he decides that he just isn't going to show up.
Okay, but when you consider the promoters, the venue, the fans who paid for tickets.. someone is going to sue.
He would be foolish not to fight, obviously, and here's why If he fights and wins the lawsuit, then he'll get his money If he doesn't fight and wins the lawsuit, he gets nothing If fights and loses the lawsuit, then his purse would pay off most or all of the damages If he doesn't fight and loses the lawsuit, he still has to pay the damages either way and he'll have less money to pay with
Is it bull****? Yeah it ****s up Castillo's concentration and the timing of it is awful, but that's the way the legal system here works, at a snail's pace. There's nothing that can be done
Well I would hope JLC has health insurance that would cover his medical expenses if he got hurt. But the problem is that if he pulled out of this fight on the grounds of his purse being withheld, he would probably get sued by Dennis Hobson and/or Ricky Hatton and maybe HBO. He would really risk screwing himself over if he didn't fight, he could be financially ruined if he pulled out. Imagine if he pulls out, gets nothing, loses the lawsuit against Shaw and then loses another lawsuit from Hobson/Hatton/HBO or whoever else. It's a bad situation but the best choice would be for him to fight
Couldnt Castillo be sued again if he doesnt fight? That is what got Castillo in trouble in the first place. Castillo did sign a contract to fight on June 23rd, he would be breaking that. It seem a very bad idea for everyone's intrests , for Castillo to pull out.
Damn seriously we can sit here and talk about what he should do but who WOULD WORK FOR FREE? Specially WHEN IT INVOLVES A WAR WITH HATTON?
Yep, that sums it up in a nutshell. Plus Castillo should fight because it could be a pretty damn good fight, and you know, I am pretty sure a "few" fans would like to see it.
If he doesn't, he'll face thge risk of getting sued again. Bottom line is, he SIGNED A CONTRACT TO FIGHT.
