"I've done a lot of work in sports. When I read that contract, I was blown away by how restrictive it is," Quinn said.
"They're basically tying him up for life. They have no rights and they own all of his licensing and all the other things. It's unheard of in the other professional sports. And they won't get away with it forever."
"He notified them earlier this year that he was ready to fight again," Quinn said. "He wanted to arrange for the terms of the fight, and that did not happen in a timely fashion. They were required to actually schedule a fight, the time and place with a bout agreement, and we gave them -- because there's a 10-day notice period in the contract, in the old contract -- we gave them the 10 days to do that, and they didn't do it before the time period. And therefore we terminated the contract."
