(Summary) On the morning of January 14, 2021, the boxing promoter Greg Cohen sat for a deposition in an investment fraud lawsuit brought to him by a former employee. The plaintiff, a boxing fan named Clifford Mass, stated in a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that he had sunk $250,000 into Cohen’s coffers, on the agreement that he would receive future points on an “event-by-event basis” and a salary, neither of which, Mass claimed, ever materialized. Mass, in short, wanted his money back plus interest.
The hours-long grilling session, held via Zoom, was an attempt to trace a portrait of Cohen’s business practices in the sport, primarily through his eponymous promotional company Greg Cohen Promotions. Heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller, middleweight Rob Brant, and former junior middleweight titlist Austin Trout are a few of the notable names that have fought under the aegis of GCP.
Midway through the 200-page deposition, Cohen, who has been the focus of several lawsuits in recent years, is queried by the plaintiff’s attorney on his relationship with a limited liability company called Sports Consulting Services. The attorney, referencing something like a profit-loss statement generated by one of Cohen’s employees, was curious about a payment of $17,250 made to the company in relation to a heavyweight bout between Cohen’s charge Miller and Bogdan Dinu that took place November 17 at Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas, on the undercard of a welterweight main event involving Brandon Rios and Ramon Alvarez. The attorney, presumably, was intrigued by this expenditure since his client allegedly never saw a dime from Cohen.
