Ruh Roh!: White Chocolate Management sues UFC champion Rampage Jackson for $10 million

Video Game Awards UFC announcement

Props: FightHype.com and Sherdog.com

Quoteworthy:

"White Chocolate Management, a Hollywood, Florida based management and Promotion Company and its President Reed Wallace have filed a $10,000,000 lawsuit in the State Supreme Court of New York, against Rampage Jackson, Juanito Ibarra and Ibarra's Mixed Martial Arts Company for breach of contract, interference with contract and defamation arising out of a breach of a contract and false statements by Ibarra that 'WCM had nothing to do with Rampage' although it was Ibarra and his attorneys that prepared the final contract between Rampage and White Chocolate."

From the White Chocolate Management Web site: "White Chocolate Management is a full service sports management agency specializing in marketing, promotion, management and development of multimedia brands for athletes and celebrities." Other notable fighters on its roster include Fedor Emelianenko, Diego Sanchez , Cheick Kongo, Alexander Emelianenko and others. It's worth noting that White Chocolate will drop the lawsuit if the Rampage camp honors the contract that was apparently agreed upon and are now allegedly in violation of breaching. It seems that White Chocolate has some serious issues with Ibarra (Rampage's trainer) in the statement.

Who enters an agreement with a company calling itself “White Chocolate Management” anyway? Sounds like a soft porn outlet. Yeesh.

From what I read, White Chocolate represents several fighters and a few prominent ones in Fedor, Diego Sanchez, Chieck Kongo. This could be VERY legitimate. I do know know either of the parties involved however, I do agree that you shouldn’t throw everything into one basket (Juanito, in this case.) Also, there should be some seperation between a “fight” and “business” manager I think.

Just another example of “Chocolate on Black” violence.
