    Well my promoter just took over 10 grand from me

    My f*ckin promoter just took a little over 10 grand out of my pay due to a "break of contractual obligations." Apparently I now seem to have to pay for my training and using the gym to train for my fights.....even though I'm an instructor!!! Such horse****...I'm extremely pissed off and since i "owe" him more money than I can give him he's making me cash in my plane ticket back home to NY. I know you guys are thinking just knock him out but see you dont mess with this promoter or you'll be in a world of trouble. So now I'm stuck in in New Mexico and have to get my rents to send me some money through WU.

    Yeah if only it were that easy. This is a dirty game and a very shady business....unfortunately my promoter made me turn pro at 18 so he could sign my naive ass to a contract. I knew it was a mistake at the time but I just wanted to be pro.

    too bad. That really sucks. about 10 years ago I knew a few people that for that amount would take the guy out. Now I cant suggest it, but its a thought!

    Didn't he say this promoter was Russian? Probably connected to the Russian Mob. Now for all you saying to do something to this guy, do you realize what the reprecussions would be?

    Just cause his russian dosent mean his a mob haha! Probly a really MEAN bastard doh.

    Imo his ****ing ufcfighter in the ass and his just taking it, sure the promotor is a hardass, but even they can die and nobody needs to know it was him that did it.

    im sure this guy is connected right to the mob, im sorry for ya bro. there's alot of the russian mob down here in philly. they're quite annoying. i know some brotha's that will help ya out for some money, they could care less about mob ties. but yeah i do see what you are saying your pretty much owned by the russian mob til the contract is over. very sorry bro, i hope everything works itself out. why dont you go to the FBI?
    the main problem with the russian mob is that they still think they are in russia, here in america you cant buy everyone off. we actually have rule you have to follow, i know some guys around here that were heavy in the Estacy game, and they thought there b.s. would fly cause it would in russia. well they were completly wrong and now are all on lock down
