Mr Keane has issued a lawsuit against Top Rank claiming more than $25 million in unpaid fees. He claims Top Rank asked him to hire Fury because the business needed a star fighter to drive ratings under its deal with Walt Disney-owned cable sports broadcaster ESPN.
“Concerned Arum would overrule him if he found out, duBoef decided to pay Kinahan millions of dollars for his exclusivity to Top Rank ‘under the table’ without Arum’s knowledge or consent,” said the lawsuit. Kinahan and his brother Christopher jnr are alleged to run the huge international drug trafficking operation established by their father, Christopher snr.
