WHY don't boxers FIGHT in ANOTHER STATE/COUNTRY when suspended??

It's considered a spit in the face of the commission. And they aren't going to be exactly happy to re-instate you.

Plus, a lot of other commissions follow suit with the what other commissions say about a fighter.

 

Going to a different state is useless because almost every state will not give you license if you are suspense. And going to.a different country will just **** them off more and you wont be fighting there ever again. So is it worth it? No.

 

Because if someone test positive for a banned substance in Vegas.... why should they be able to fight anywhere? Essentially if it worked that way, then one could cheat and just fight in a different state each fight and would their way back around the country...


Just because you don't like their decision doesn't mean you should go fight somewhere else.

Margarito would never get his license in the states if he applied to fight anywhere. It would of been a spit in the face of the CA commission and no other state would of let him fight there.

It's different when states just think you are too crazy, like Tyson-Lewis... who had to find states who even wanted the fight. That's different...

 

Bingo

 

That's different. That was getting clearance, not a suspension.

When it comes to suspensions and fines. States almost always follow suit with the original state schoice.


When it comes to clearance, or finding a license, that's different.

Does that help?

 

If a fighter test positive for PEDs... he should be banned/suspended nation wide.

 

This issue got brought up in the Haye vs Chisora fight...

Because Chisora wasen't 'banned', The Luxembourg Commission were happy to give Chisora a license (and make some money, too).

However IF he was banned, they wouldn't have given the license to him.

It's considered convention between the organisations.

 

Yes, and No...its even gets more complicated.
The British Boxing Board of Control is not legally government affiliated. So basically it's some private corporation simply trying to hold on to it's monopoly.

 

Most people will say that it has to do with spitting in the face of the commission or give them the finger. The truth is it has to do with money, if the promoter/manager knows that you have lack of options as in terms of earning power or venue he will use that to his gain.

Alot of boxing contracts/deals are negotiated at what every one can get. IE: Gamboa had a shitty deal with Top Rank, and the other promoter that co-promoted him. He probably knew that at signing, in fact every body knew that at signing but he was desperate at the time, and they knew that, and knew lack of options would make him take it.

Same thing, if you are established getting decent purses in the states, and suddenly you are suspended, your promoter is not your friend, and will gladly promote you and help you fight abroad, but he will **** you....know that you don't have the same market share or appeal outside of states, and use that as a point in paying you a pittance.

It all comes down to options, when you are banned in a nation where you are considered "home" or marketable, you lose options at the negotiating table, and that translates to less money

 

it can happen the british comission stopped danny williams now he fights out of lativa
