Top Rank sues Golden Boy Promotions!

Word has reached Boxingtalk.com that Top Rank Inc has filed a lawsuit against Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions. Boxingtalk understands that Top Rank is claiming that by facing WBC junior middleweight champion Ricardo Mayorga, Oscar De La Hoya violated his contractual obligation to provide them with the right of first and last refusal. Neither Bob Arum nor Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer were available for immediate comment. There will be much more to follow. REMEMBER WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST! (10:45 PM EST)
