TITLE BOXING TURNS THE TABLES ON RINGSIDE
(Kansas City, MO.)
May 2, 2002
On April 11, 2002
Title Boxing, L.L.C., a privately held boxing equipment distributor based in Lenexa, Kansas settled a two year long lawsuit brought on by competitor Ringside, Inc., another major distributor of boxing equipment.
In April of 2000, Ringside brought suit against Title Boxing, which was founded by two former Ringside employees, Tony Carbajo and David Hanson, claiming that they took Ringside's customer list and violated trade secrets. The lawsuit had the potential of destroying Title Boxing in its infancy, however, feeling unfairly attacked, they fought back aggressively by filing counter claims. The lawsuit was settled with Ringside paying Title Boxing $200,000 in the settlement.

BEAUTY OF A BEAST

INSIDE BOXING (May 6, 2002) - Must have been a wild night in Maui.
Get a bunch of reporters together on a beautiful island, put them in a single room, toss in the Beast from Brooklyn and wait three hours.
Tell me there isn't going to be a lot of late-night story-telling over strawberry daiquiris when that door finally opens.Mike Tyson?
 He's boxing's answer to Attila the Hun, though Attila didn't have the bad reputation Tyson has. And we didn't have to listen to the crazy Hun rant and rave on the evening news about the villages he and his men were going to plunder and pillage.
Instead, we get to hear what Tyson has to say, which is about as informative as listening to the cashier at Checkers tell us our hamburgers are ready. At least the guy at Checkers is giving us a little news. The last time anything of substance came out of Tyson's mouth, it was a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear.
Training in Maui for his June 8 fight in Memphis against Lennox Lewis, Tyson was foolishly allowed to talk to the press recently. Turning Tyson loose on the media is like flipping your car keys to a drunk friend and telling him to take the freeway because it's quicker. That's Tyson, a terrible accident waiting to happen.
