RE: Resolving the Dispute
I would like you to know that I have been at great unease over the dispute between Por Pramuk camp & me, which arose from the Thai Fight competition held in Pattaya on 17 April 2012, This is because I have always respected you & will continue to do so. I have been trying to find a way to resolve this dispute.
On 18 April 2012, I met with Major General Intharat Yodbangtoey & proposed the following solution:
1. I request that Por Pramuk camp pays me what they owe me. The amount is 3 million baht, but I am willing to accept just half of it.
2. I am happy to waive this debt if Por Pramuk camp agrees to terminate my contract with them & cancel any other obligations that I might have with them.
3. If Por Pramuk camp agrees to pay me what they owe me (as per point 1 above), I will be happy to continue using the camp's name with the following conditions: future earnings from fights both within Thailand & overseas will be split 60:40 between me & the camp (60% for myself & 40% for Por Pramuk camp); 20% of the camp's share will be deducted each time towards paying off the sum that they owe me, until the debt is cleared; I will train on my own & take care of only my own expenses; & I will have full rights to income from public appearances, advertising & sponsorship, similar to international boxing & football stars.
Major General Intharat Yodbangtoey put forward the above proposal to you for your consideration on 29 April 2012 at the Golden Tulip Hotel, Rama 9 Road. On 01 May 2012, he informed me that you had proposed the following solution instead:
1. You are happy to let me continue using the Por Pramuk camp name.
2. The entire debt should be waived.
3. You agree to split future earnings from fights 60:40 with me (60% for myself & 40% for Por Pramuk camp) with the following conditions: that the camp has a say in decisions on fights to participate in; & that the camp's representative(s) accompany me to all fights held abroad, with me or the organiser providing at least one return air ticket.
4. Por Pramuk camp will have a share of income from public appearances, advertising & sponsorship under a mutual agreement.
I considered your proposal, & decided that in the interest of resolving this dispute, as well as to further acknowledge what the camp has done for me, to propose the following solution:
1. I am happy to waive the entire debt.
2. I wish to stop using the Por Pramuk camp name in future fights. If I am to continue using the camp's name, it will be under a new 1-year contract with the camp that can be renewed for a maximum of 1 year each time, & I alone will make all decisions on fights to participate in.
3. I will be happy to split future income from fights 60:40 with the camp (60% for myself, 40% for Por Pramuk camp) for the next 5 years, regardless of whether I continue to use the camp's name. This is to show my gratitude to the camp for their part in making me into what I am today. However, all income from public appearances, advertising & sponsorship will belong to me, in accordance with the law.
Please kindly consider my latest proposal. If Por Pramuk camp is happy to agree with this proposed solution, I ask that the lawsuit against all parties be dropped, & that my existing contract with the camp be cancelled or replaced by a new one. Please understand that I have never forgotten the kindness that you & Por Pramuk camp have shown me & I will remember it for life.
With greatest respect,
