Sonsona.
Utterly fed-up with his attitude and lack of discipline, well-known international promoter and matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz and Filipino partner Sammy Gello-ani believe that ?enough is enough? and have removed the ?Marvelous? tag to the name of Marvin Sonsona because he is ?ruining his pro boxing career due to his attitude and lack of discipline.?
The failure of Sonsona to take a flight from his hometown of General Santos City last October 13 and then proceed to Las Vegas with former light flyweight champion Johnreil Casimero, Manny Pacquiao?s cousin Jonel Dapidran and trainer Jhun Agrabio to prepare for a scheduled December 18 non-title fight where his purse was $50,000 and instead decided to hangout with his friends in his hometown, forced his promoters and powerful adviser Al Haymon to give up hope that Sonsona will change and realize the number of opportunities he has lost to regain his place in the boxing world.
As a result they have decided ?to freeze their promotional contract with Sonsona in the USA" and warned that the former world super flyweight champion ?cannot fight under any other promotional outfit and they will sue anyone who will interfere and be involved in his boxing career anywhere in the world.?
Sonsona?s promoters and Al Haymon feel they have ?done so much for Sonsona and have tried to patiently guide him? all to no avail.
Last July 10 Sonsona was supposed to return to the training camp in Las Vegas to prepare for a WBC world title fight against Gary Russell Jr scheduled for September 22 but Sonsona requested that the trip be postponed so he could celebrate his 25th birthday on July 25 and promised to fly a few days after but he did not leave for Las Vegas forcing Lewkowicz to cancel the fight where Sonsona was to earn a purse of $100,000.
In a gesture of remarkable goodwill and in order for Sonsona not to think about any problems that would disrupt his training, Lewkowicz spent for Marvin's mother's urgent kidney operation at the National Kidney Institute and spent more than P500,000 without deducting the money from his June 2015 fight purse, which turned out to be useless.
