Golden Boy Promotions’ statement on jury’s decision over All-Star Boxing

By Rey Tecson, Last Updated June 14, 2016

Golden Boy Promotion got a “favorable” decision over All-Star Boxing with regards to contract issue with Mexican Star Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.

However Canelo was ordered to pay $8.5 million to All-Star Boxing for an amount determined as “unjust enrichment.”

Below is the full statement from Golden Boy Promotions, Canelo’s boxing promoter.

“We are extremely pleased that not only did the jury find that no contract ever existed between Canelo and All-Star Boxing, but issued a judgment against All-Star Boxing and ordered them to pay Golden Boy’s substantial legal fees.

Over the last five-plus years, many questioned why we wouldn’t just settle the case before trial. The answer is simple: We would not be extorted. It was clear from the beginning that neither Canelo Alvarez nor Golden Boy Promotions had acted inappropriately in any way. We are grateful that the jury was able to see that.

However, it is absurd to think that All-Star Boxing provided anywhere near that amount of value that the jury awarded under a separate claim. We will appeal this part of the decision, and are confident we will win, just as we did on the contract dispute.”

Outside of appealing the financial damages, we now look forward to putting this episode behind us and working with Canelo Alvarez to continue his meteoric rise though the boxing ranks.”
