LA HOYA SUING TO LEAVE TOP RANK
"I was very surprised and disappointed by Bob’s recent comments to
the press
stating that I should retire from boxing," De La Hoya said. "I am as
committed to
boxing as I have ever been, and I want my next fight to be a rematch with Shane
Mosley. However it would be very difficult to go forward with my career without
the unconditional support of my promoter."
Arum - "It’s an absurdity. In the press release he says we tried to come
to an agreement and weren’t able to which is a joke, because I haven't spoken to
Oscar since the day after the (Shane) Mosley fight (on June 18). Oscar knows we have valid
contracts and by going public he breached the contract, so he, and the people who put him
up to this are subject to damages and they’re going to have to pay a price."
