Gold/Leyser
 

I missed the segment on ESPN talking about half of Gold's winnings being held pending an investigation, I searched the forum and couldnt find anything that explained it. What exactly happened?

Re: Gold/Leyser
 

Nutshell as I understand it:
Apparently Gold had an agreement to give Leyser half his winnings after taxes for some work he did for him, and left him a voice mail to this effect, which Leyser has as evidence.

Visit defamer.com and put in Jamie Gold for more info...

Welcome to last month.

Dude is a producer. He knows about contracts. Why would he agree to give someone half of his winnings? I'm sure he's heard of a sliding scale before (50% of my first $x; 30% of the next $y; etc.)

Because when he made the deal he didn't have any idea he would win it.

no, its because bodog had one seat for the two of them. They both wanted the seat, a compromise was reached.
