Exercise 22
Two Russian boxing promoters doing business under the name World of Boxing ("WOB") signed a contract with Don King, an American boxing promoter, in which King promised to produce Guillermo Jones for a match against Denis Lebedev. Jones and Lebedev had been scheduled to fight the previous year, but the match was canceled due to Jones' positive drug tests. In his contract with WOB, King promised to produce Jones for a fight, but the contract required Jones to take drug tests before and after the match. On the day of the fight, Jones tested positive once again for performance enhancing drugs and was disqualified from the match. WOB sued King, claiming that King breached their contract by failing to produce Jones for the fight. King argued that his breach was excused, because Jones' performance was impossible due to his disqualification. Was King right? [ World of Boxing, LLC v. King , 56 F.Supp.3d 507 (S.D. N.Y.)]
