DAVAO CITY --- Ghana promoter Michael N.Y. Annan of Don's Promotion wants to get back the money he gave to Filipino match maker Ronald Jerez in order to pay back boxer Eugene "Rambo" Lagos and match maker Brico Santig.
But the problem is that Jerez is different from Lagos and Santig.
Jerez already took an advanced money of US$1,000 (one thousand) from Annan as partial payment for boxer Marco Demeciilo who was scheduled to fight on August 9, 2019 for the WBA International title which was already sanctioned by WBA.
According Annan, he saw in Boxrec that boxer Marco Demecillo was being booked in Russia last July 13, 2019. Demecillo eventually lost by a unanimous decision against Mark Urvanov.
Ghana match maker Solomon Ottoo contacted Santig for the replacement of Demecillo, And so Santig recommended Lagos since Jerez did not comply with their agreement and an advance money was already was paid to Jerez.
According to Edgar Ricafort, promoter-manager of Demecilo, he did not receive any single centavo from Jerez.
The license of Jerez is currently suspended by the Games and Amusement Board because of many complaints from boxing managers and boxers. But Jerez continues his match making job by using some license trainers, matchmaker and managers just to make the filing papers at the GAB office.
The current victim is Kei Nidaira, a Japanese boxing manager who filed a complaint to GAB against Jerez, Nidaira is a very kind person who help many Filipino boxers in Japan especially Renerio Arizala during his hard times while recovering in the hospital.
Meanwhile, Annan wants Santig to get the money he gave Jerez. But Santig is not connected with Jerez.
"Please take note that your Boxing Division has failed to recover the $1,000 from Jerez Roland. They should take that money and sent it to you as a responsible boxing authority," said Annan.
But the GAB has nothing to do with Jerez who has been doing his transaction without any knowledge by the GAB.
Lagos, Santig and manager Roel Kaamino were asking the reimbursement from Annan and Otoo worth $2,000 for the travel expenses (local ticket, food, accommodation, local transportation and training expenses) since Jerez is not connected with them.
Efforts to get the side of Jerez proved futile as of press time. (Lito delos Reyes)
